Brothers Together By LORNE W. BARCLAY, Editor of Scouting A TEXAS Scoutmaster now serving in the armed forces in France is working with French Scouters he met as Scouts at the National Jamboree in Washington in 1937. The first thing he did was to write his Scout Executive in Austin begging for copies of the “Handbook for Boys” and the “Sea Scout Manual? to give fto these French Scouters whom he had known for only ten short days eight years before. Almost every Council in the country can tell similar stories of world-wide Scout friendships, stories which have come back to them from Scouts and Scouters in the armed forces. Some are working as leaders of British Scout Troops in England; others are helping to organize Troops in Italy; some have gone camping with Scouts in Egypt, India, Australia and New Zealand; many, like the Texas Scoutmaster, are aiding Scouting in France. “Ai Scout is fripndly.

friend to all and a brother to every other Scout”—these are not empty phrases. The war has made them a reality. ‘ The Scout spirit has dynamic power to survive. Crushed to earth, World Scouting is rising again from the rubble and ashes of countries laid waste by barbarians. In Italy, seventeen years ago, Mussolini destroyed Scouting by government edict. It went under cover, and now seventeen years later it has blossomed forth again. In Sicily, Scout flags have come into public view after being hidden all these years in the crypts of Cathedrals. Newspaper pictures show that the Scouts of Holland are active again. In all these countries, bright polished Scout badges are reappearing, sometimes on the original owners and sometimes on their sons. It was my privilege to serve with the French after the First World War, helping them to rebuild Scouting in France. I found then a great desire for the friendship of Scouts and Troops in other countries, and a great need for literature, equipment and traiiied leaders. It will be the

PROSPERITY in Amnia is the first step in the direction of lasting peace. This prosperity ought to spread, as fast a it an, to otter countries. It is in America, however, where mm have the key to prosperity and tha United States must lead the procession to high living standards through open competition ... the only way to obtain a more abundant life,for ourselves or others. At first thought, some people may not agree that' prosperity has anything to do with peace. Rut they will convince themselves if they will think bade. Troubles that built up tofhis present war were economic troubles. Hitler and Mussolini both dimbed to power over ruin; ruined fortunes, ruined hopes,. ruined lives. They got a following by promising people relief from misery. Wamtb PEOPLE will be paSerioas tient, and content themselves to wait for solutions to ordinary political problems, but they will do desperate and violent things when hungry; when their families need food. Prosperity helps to maintain peace, end (as I said in the first sentence) prosperity in America h the first step. The reason is plain: Unde Sam is the whole world’s best customer. Hear different the United States is frim other countries! We have only 7,% of the earth's population and yet we lay 40% of all the raw materials in the world firten whijh manufactured goods

same after this war. Already Scouters of Poland, Luxembourg, China and many Central and South American countries have called on the Boy Scouts of America for cooperation. There will be other calls. We have made a start by publishing a World Brotherhood Edition of Baden-Powell’s AIDS TO SCOUTMASTERSHIP. It has been so edited that it can be translated into the language of any country, because Scouting principles apply universally. It has been made available to Canada. A Spanish translation has been made, and there is a possibility of translations into Polish and French. The International Bureau is already at work aiding the Scouts in European countries. World Brotherhood Scouting has gone into action. “SCOUTS OF THE WORLD

BROTHERS TOGETHER,” our theme for the 35th Anniversary, has a ring to it today that it never had before. Scouting has a mighty chance to show to the world the tremendous force that friendship among Scouts of all lands can be in a world struggling to build a lasting peace. Only in such a demonstration will Scouting earn the right to take its place as an indispensable part of the new democratic pattern of freedom.

are produced. When wheels era tuning hi America, markets get. active to the four corners of the earth. Our prosperity ie the world’s prosperity and the key to, world peace. Post-War FOREIGN lands pros. Prosperity per when they sell freely in America. They sell to us when Jobe am plentiful here, when most Americans have money to buy what they want. Jobshare plentiful and good and workers prosper, when business is expanding. Business expands when investors see possible returns from investments. They could see such opportunities now if they were not afraid of taxes. Very few business men in the United States have any idea today that they will be able to expand ip peace-time pursuits. Most of them know they can’t afford to expand if our 95% excess profits tax remains in force. It was enacted as a war emergency measure. I don't think it ought to be repealed this hour. But we ought to make certain now that it will not outlive the war. Taxes very seldom get smaller but unless taxes on business get smaller after the war, investors would be insane to spend new billions for expansion. Business men want to plan peacetime sales and employment now. When Congress makes a reasonable tax law to become effective with victory, world peace will have its first guarantee .of long lifer It Will have to be done this year.

The WOMAN’S REPORTER By LEONA AMMB CLAMPITT

We celebrate a great man's birthday next Monday Abraham Lincoln. He is stiU among us, the same long, angular figure, the sorrowful face, lined by suffering above and

beyond his own. He will live as long as free people cherish a free nation. He will live as long as there remains one man who will fight to tree another. He will live as long as people remember and live by what he said. Lincoln spent his life in the service of the people of this country. He believed in a people’s government “. . . We should perpetuate for our children’s children that great and free government which we have enjoyed all our lives.”

Now let’s turn our thoughts to less serious things . . . Valentine Day, next Wednesday. I don’t care how old or how young you are, I know you love receiving a Valentine. There is no age limit to receiving and sending cards and gifts to someone you love. There are various theories about how the name of Valentine came to be connected with the day on which lovers send tokens to one another. One is based on the belief throughout Europe during the Middle Ages that the birds began to mate on February 14th. Old Mr. Groundhog saw his shadow and that means six weeks more of winter. Cheer up, it is only five weeks now, and anyway, we are sure to have winter until the spring equinox which is March 20. Some of the old-timers predict an early spring you know that old saying, one extreme follows another. We hope they’re right. Also, next Wednesday, February 14, is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Lent is based on the last six weeks of the life of Jesus and ends with Easter, April 1, this year. Easter is celebrated on the Sunday of the first full moon following the spring equinox. Several readers have asked me to repeat my recipe for Lemon Cream Pie. So here ’tis:

1 cup sugar 4.level tablespoons flour teaspoon salt IVt cups milk 2 egg yolks 1 lemon 2 egg whites Butter Mix sugar, flour and salt. Add milk, cook until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from fire. Add grated rind of lemon, lemon juice and egg yolks. Return to fire and cook a little longer. Add butter. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into the mixture. Pour into baked pie crust. Top with meringue and brown, or topped with whipped cream makes an ideal company dessert. , In closing let me remind you that the war is far from being over. We still must buy bonds, give blood, save waste fats, tin cans and paper. Let us do our part as the boys are doing theirs.
