SCOUTING—THE GOOD TURN The fundamental of Scouting is “A Good Turn Daily.”.. It was upon the practice of this “Good Turn” that an English Scout impressed Wm. D. Boyce, the Chicago newspaperman and traveler, with an idea that resulted in the formation of the American Boy Scouts. A traveler in Europe, Mr. Boyce had had lots of experience coming to an agreements with guides, etc., as to the “bakshees” or tip, for their services, minor and trivial as they might be. But was Mr. Boyce the founder of the Idea of the Good Turn? No, nor was Lord Baden Powell who organized the English Boy Scouts. Knights of the Middle Ages went forth to “Do A Good Turn Daily.” Even before that time, A Certain One said: “Even as ye do it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye do it unto Me'.” What benefits can possibly come to a boy’s practice of “A Good Turn To Somebody Every Day?” Selfishness has left the world of today in a sorry state. The “pound of flesh” which the Allies proposed to collect at the close of the World War left the losers in a grudging frame of mind. No thought of “hellishness” ever enters one’s mind after having been the recipient of a Good Turn. Let the dirtiest, most repulsive urchin of the street pick up a dropped bundle which you have lost and you say “thanks” and mean ‘it. Does he return your thanks with curses? Far from it, the smile peers from beneath the shaggy hair and dirty face and you know that a warm heart is back of it all. The Good Turn has been the means of making friends through the ages. Today when we are in a hurry to get to the job on a cold morning and the motor won’t start we are less hesitant to ask for a “push” from our neighbor if we’ve pushed him first. The way we best remember others is from the Good Turns they’ve done to us. ..“How shall they remember me ?” should be our question. Now as to its application to boys; to Boy Scouts, let us say. A Boy Scout should do a good turn to somebody every day. That Good Turn is {something for which he receives no pay. It is not a part of his regular home duties as assisting his mother with the household duties, as cleaning out the ashes, etc. It is a help to someone else which gives that person a sense of appreciation and the Scout a sense of a friend made or kept or of satisfaction. The Good Turn is good for boys and girls for it gives them a satisfaction of having been of service to others. Adults can do no less. The regular hours of a man’s labor draw regular wages but his overtime carries the bonus. (Next —The Scout Law.)

National Education Week November 5 to 11 is National Education Week. It is necessary that in every community the slogan, “Education for the American Way of Life,” be stressed, Too much emphasis cannot be placed on education if we are to keep alive in our land that desire for liberty which makes possible a Republic such as we have. This is a task not only for a week, but for fiftytwo weeks in every year. Some of the phases which are being especially considered this week, however are “The place of religion in our Democracy;” “Education for self-realization;” “Education for human relationships;” “Education for economic efficiency;”* “Education for civic responsibility;” “Cultivating the love of learning,” and “Education for freedom.” The education of children is, of course, of the utmost importance, but those adults who have not had the opportunites for learning that others have had should be given attention as well, that their lives may be more worth while to themselves and to their community. —American Legion Auxiliary.

SPEEDWAY THEATRE An emotional experience seldom encountered within the walls of a theatre, will be provided by the new Warner Brothers picture “Dust Be My Destiny” which comes to the Speedway next Sunday for a three day showing. It is the superb playing of the film’s two young stars, John Garfield and Priscilla Lane, that makes it the intensely moving piece of drama that it is. They bring to their portrayals such sincerity, such vivid truthfulness, such understanding of the characters they are creating that the spectator is utterly convinced of their reality. Along with this masterpiece of the screen will be shown Alexander Dumas’ “The Man In The Iron Mask,” with Louis Hayward, and Joan Bennett in the leading roles, supported by almost an all-star cast. Lightning action, thrilling romance and exciting adventure are in store for Speedway patrons and with two such outstanding pictures it will hardly be necessary to tell you to come early if you wish your usual seat.
