West when he goes back home this month, back to Washington, D. C. The boys, a mere fraction of the million and more enlisted In the Boy Scouts of America, will be attending their first national Jamboree. Dr. West, looking over that army of youngsters encamped in their 350-acr tented city along the Potomac, can recall the first group of children with which he worked.

Still a lad himself and the only one among a group of 180 in a Washington orphanage with no known relatives, he became the big brother to 60 others younger than himself. He was forced Into that job because, being crippled, he was unable to do the heavy work assigned to other boys his age. Besides tending the children, studying at high school four days a week a privilege he had to beg and acting part-time as night watchman, he did the laundry for the entire orphange. That was the kind of a fellow Jimmy West was throwing away busy ever since," he said. During that time, he has been the national leader of 7,665,851 boys and adult leaders affiliated with the scout movement, now attracting a million a year to its standards.

The national Jamboree of the scouts this year is a new venture for Dr. West, postponed from 1935, when the Infantile paralysis scare cancelled It. "It's a tremendous undertaking," ha said. "It's unbelievable what's involved." The cost of food alone for the 10 days June 80 to July 9 will be $350,000, The butter bill will be $22,000. "The jamboree 'will be self-liquidating," he added, "the most unusual thing In that respect we have ever had.

We are trying to make this a lesson in self-reliance." Every man and boy at the Jamboree will pay his own way. Congress and the District of Columbia have been asked for nothing except the use of land for the encampment. Even in that case, the scouts have promised to restore the camp site to its original condition and wiil spend $16,000 to replant It.
