BOY SCOUT WEEK FEB. 6th TO 12th Boy Scout Week, marking the 40th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, will be observed from Monday, Feb. 6 through Sunday, Feb. 12. The anniversary will be celebrated in every city and town and most villages and hamlets throughout the nation and its territories by 2,300,000 boys Mtd adult leaders. President Truman will greet twelve outstanding Boy Scouts in the White House during Boy Scout Week. The Scouts will present to Mr. Truman the “Report to the Nation” telling of Scouting’s service to the community „ since he greeted a similaj group of twelve outstanding Scouts a year ago. President Truman is Honorary President of the Boy Scouts of America. Boy Scout Week this year finds the organization at the mid-point of its two-year Crusade t o “Strengthen the Arm of Liberty,” which‘seeks to bring more boys into its ranks, give them richer experiences in all phases of its programs under volunteer leaders : of high character who take training courses so they can carry on effectively. The theme of the 40th birthday observance is “Strengthen Liberty.” In countless meetings across the nation, this theme will be portrayed in pageants, (demonstrations, public ceremonies and Parents’ Night gatherings. The highlights of the second year of the Crusade will be the National Jamboree at Valley Forge", Pa., at which 40,000 Scouts and leaders from every section of the nation and several hundred Scouts of other lands will camp together from June 30 to July 6. In many communities and at state capitals, Scouts will be greeted by civic leaders and will take part in ceremonies related to the Crusade. In accordance with tradition, Scouts everywhere will rededicate themselves to the Scout Oath and Law on ‘Feb. Bth at 8:15 P. M., in the respective time zones. During Boy Scout Week, parents of Scouts and friends will visit Troop meetings and see for themselves that the Scout Unit is a demonstration of democracy at work. The Scouts and their guests will enjoy an evening of campfire songs, skits, games and stunts. This year, as part of their observance of the Crusade, many meetings will feature a ceremony of lighting a special torch to emphasize its aim. KEYS Made While You Wait AT SYRACUSE HARDWARE CO.

Boy Scout Week is also the occasion when Scouts, their parents and the institutions sponsoring Scout Units, get together to honor the adult volunteer leaders whose contributions in unselfish service to youth makes the Scout organization possible. School authorities in countless communities have arranged for pupils who are Scouts to put on demonstrations in school assemblies. Many public and private schools act as sponsoring institutions for Scout Units. The latest National Council report to Conress shows that 16 percent of the 71,000 Scout Units in America are sponsored by educational institutions. During Boy Scout Week many store windows,, theatre lobbies and other public places contain displays of handicraft made by Scouts. Often the boys themselves take turns demonstrating some of the skills they acquire through the program. Thousands of new Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Exporers, as the new Senior Program is termed, will be inducted through investiture ceremonies. Sunday, Feb. 12 will be Boy Scout Sunday. Scouts and leaders will attend church services in unifirm. Those of Jewish faith will hold their observances in synagogues and temples on Friday, and Saturday, Feb. 10 & 11. WRECKS AUTO A salesman, Jerry W. Glucksman, age 51, of Cleveland, Ohio, lost control of his 1949 Chevrolet on road 6, just north of Syracuse, Tuesday afternoon on the snow covered road. The Car got off the road, cut down a hundred feet of small trees, and fence posts, crossed the road again and come to rest on a steep bank. Mr. Glucksman received a bad cut on his fore head which required eight stitches, and his auto was damaged to the extent of near $250.00°. The Nelson Auer wrecker was called and the auto pulled into the S. & Mu garage here. State Trooper Woodsworth investigated the accident. Tale Retold of Lincoln’s Visiting New England Site HINGHAM, MASS.— The oftmentioned possibility that Abraham Lincoln may have visited his ancestral home here 100 years ago has been revived. The question arose when the Lincoln house was presented to the Society for the Preservation of Ned England Antiquities. During a visit to Boston in September, 1848, Lincoln was supposed to have “vanished” ofr three days. The lost three days are discussed in Elizabeth Coatsworth’s new book, “South Shore Town.” Miss Coatsworth believes Lincoln may have visited Hingham in those three days to “commune with the ghosts of his ancestors and to draw vigor from their yeoman blood.” The first ancestor of Lincoln came to Hingham from Hingham, England, in 1637. The Lincoln house, a story and a half gambrel roof cottage. was built some time later on the original land plot of the Lincoln family- ’ ;

(1-ts) ECONOMY’ IN GOVERNMENT URGED BY INSURANCE COMPANY I New insurance sales totaling $98,891,000 during 1949 were reported today for the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn., by President ! Benjamin L. Holland, in his an- j nual message to policyholders, according to Richard N. Chapin, Supervisor for Northern Indinna. Mr. Holland told policyholders' it is difficult today to safely in- I vest their funds at a satisfactory interest return. He said that only a small portion of life insurance funds can be considered a source of venture capital. The nature of benefits, he continued, and the long term covered by contracts require the greatest possible security in the investment of life insurance reserves. Mr. Holland pointed out that a general shortage of venture capital today contributes to the problem of investing life insurance funds. He said, “When so much of the reward is consumed in taxes, much of what would ordinarily be venture capital now seeks security as a primary consideration. This abnormally increased competition for investments of the very type essential to a life insurance company.” As a solution, Mr. Holland urged return to an economy “where risk or venture capital resumes its normal function.” He listed several factors as being of utmost importance: “Economics in government must be inaugurated and sustained. A revision of the tax is essential to permit an adequate reward to those who assume the risks of enterprise. Ventures in industry should be given encouragement and opportunity for sound development.” Mr. James W. Bender, Syracuse representative, reports that the Company now has $21,671,083 insurance in force in Indiana.
