Scouts Floc

- But Ranks of Older Boys Are Thinner

The Boy Scouts of Camp like everyone else, have been affected by the war. With more money in people’'s pockets and a greater number of parents away from home working in war industries, the camp is experiencing one of its largest seasons. But the increase in Boy Scouts has been in the younger set because many of the older members are joining up with Uncle Sam as soon as they become old enough. Typical of those entering the service are Robert Mehl of troop 46; John Gripe, troop 3: Dan Orewiler, troop 82, and Jack Patterson, troop 9. who reported for active duty

There is intense hatred of Germany in the occupied countries such as Norwav—and even in Denmark, where the Nazis are on model behavior to show how good they can be toward a conquered people. What I got out of five weeks behind the German blockade in Sweden was that even if Germany had won the war she could never have made the conquered peoples accept her rule of the continent. Her new Europe, even if had won a complete military victory, would, I have been shattered in the end on the rock of the passion for freedom which the European peoples have From England, Germany appeared to be crumbling under the rain of bombs fs going out from the British isles. Photographs showed destruction so complete that life in the heavily hit Ruhr communities was bound to be badly disorganized, interfering with war production.

Harris, who among all her military men is probably the most aggressive, and certainly the most colorful and emphatic champion of mass bombing. The American 8th force thinking in the same direction.

Most people seem "to have learned to take whatever they get, day by day, and bear it cheerfully, and go you don’t hear much complaint either of heat or of cold. Perhaps we have learned ancther thing which I overheard a woman on the train say a few days ago— “When I am working it doesn't seem to matter what the temperature is, but when I am doing nothing, then I have plenty of time to think about it and I suffer every minute” Being able to forget about oneself is one of the great porn

your body is not a matter of concern to you—in fact you are not even conscious of it. It is much harder, however, to succeed from the point of view of eliminating introspection. We spend sometimes too much of our time wondering how we feel about this or that; what reactions we have to this or that occurrence, and when carried to an extreme, this can be one of the most hampering occupations, which gives one little time to think of anything but oneself. Back in the country and though I am busy, it is not the kind of occupation which takes up every minute as in Washington. We are getting good vegetables from our garden now and enjoving them greatly. This subsistence farming, so to speak, which everyone is being encouraged to engage in, has spread a long distance away.

Taffy Pulling and Stories Make Rainy

Following is one of a series of articles specially prepared hy two recreational experts and authors to suggest fun and relaxation at home for travel-restricted Americans,

Bry MARY BREEN and ARTHUR LAWSON Times Special Writers IT IS ONLY in books and dreams that a vacation passes without rain. But dismal days can be turned into pleasurable ones. We remember looking forward to them because they were the days when mother stopped her work to play the piano while we all gathered around and sang our favorite songs. Later, we would put extra boards into the dining room table and play hearts, pig, rummy or lotto. Be prepared with a stack of storv books that vou can read aloud. Nothing brings such lasting joy to a family as singing or reading together, There is something more intimate and precious in this sort of participation than in the playing of many formal games. Yet games have their places, too, so do not exclude them. An indoor treasure hunt will take the edge off possible rainy day gloom.
