BOY SCOUT WEEK IS NATION-WIDE

Observance Starts on Feb. 8.

Nearly two million Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Senior Scouts, and their adult leaders throughout the United States wilt commemorate Boy Scout Week, which begins Friday, Feb. 8. and continues through Thursday. Feb. 14. The theme of the observance, which "marks the 36th anniversary of the founding of the movement in America, is “Scouts of the World—Building Together.” The Boy. Scouts of America have created a “World Friendship Fund” and nearly two million members have been invited and urged to contribute voluntarily to it. Through the fund, Scout associations in lands ravaged during World War II are being helped to rebuild their organizations. 'At the outbreak of the war in 1939 there were more than three million Scouts and leaders in 70 different lands. Many Boy Scout troops. Cub 'packs, and Senior Scout units w*ll mark Boy Scout Week by contributing to the fund through local Boy Scout councils. The national executive board of the movement authorized the World Friendship Fund, believing it can make a definite contribution to the post-war .world, since boys dedicated to the Scout ideals of tolerance, friendliness, and democracy, may be the leaders of the world of tomorrow. Many troops hive contributed from the money earned by salvagingwaste paper, while others have given the proceeds of special Scout entertainments. Tp make certain the greatest good is done with each dollar spent, the Boy Scouts of America secure the advice of the International Scout Bureau in London and have arranged with agencies of tie federal government at Washington to see that the Scout organizations actually get the help in the - manner intended. The fund will continue as long as Scouting overseas needs aid for rebuilding. Nationwide Observance. Boy Scout Week will be observed in every city and town and in nearly every village and hamlet in the nation. Since Feb. 8. 1910, when the Boy Scouts of Ameriba was incorporated at Washington, D.

PASTOR-SLAYER WILL ASK MERCY Plans No Change in Guilty Plea. <Bv United Press) Grand Rapids. Mich.. Feb. s.—The Rev. Frank E. Siple. former Church of God pastor and confessed poisonkiller of his 17-year-old daughter, Dorothy Ann. planned today to ask the mercy of the court when he faces possible first-degree murder charges. Siple’s defense attorney. John H. Vanderval, said Siple will not change his plea of guilty, made on a temporary- murder warrant, when he faces court tomorrow. Vanderval said Siple will try to impress Circuit Judge Leonard D. Verdier. that he killed his daughter in 1939 as “ah act of mercy to save her .from living the rest of her life in an asylum.” The court prepared to fix the degree of murder after Siple was declared sane by a’three-man commission of state psychiatrists. In Michigan a first-degree murder charge is * mandatory when poison is involved. Unfrocked by Church. Siple was unfrocked by his church and replaced. From Oregon, 111., headquarters of the church, came the report that the “conduct of the' pastor was in complete violation of the scripture and we have passed a resolution of dismissal against him." The belated investigation of Dorothy Ann's death grew out of a charge that Siple tried to murder Lyle Doan, an elder of his church, with a lead pipe last New Years eve. , Siple, confronted with pqst-mor-tem findings of poison traces in the exhumed body of his daughter, confessed last Friday. He said he did it because she was mentally incompetent. But Township Police Chief Richard Van Til said he was convinced Siple killed his daughter because “she knew tod much ” about the death of her .mother, Mrs. Bertie Siple. at Dixon. 111., in 1929. Witnesses said the girl publicly announced fear of her father and accused him of murdering her mother,” Van Til said. He added that friends and schoolmates of the girl said there was nothing wrong with her mind.

For greatest efficiency, burner grates and cooking units must be level too. Low pressure or voltage results in slow cooking. Too high electric voltage causes overheating of units and shortens their life. When a new range is installed, or if your, old range is cooking slowly or overheating. have a serviceman check all these things. Nappanee Giris Injured. (0V iMuea **r«*», Nappanee.
