Meet- ngs are being hrld weekly by the Dads Club of Pied mont for general discussions on matters of vital importance In Scouting. The club is being run as a troop, with Scoutmaster, assistant, and senior patrol leader. Roy E. Warner, commissioner, Is acting as Scoutmaster; while Charles A.

At these meetings the idSn is being worked out of a leaders' training school where older members and men may learn more and work HEALTH DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank M'Coy UTHO Of THt FAIT VAY TO 1 ALT Teach Courage IF YOU wish to correct your child from some of the' fears which agonized you, then be careful not to teach him fear.

There is no sense in being afraid of a mouse, or of being alone, or of thunder, and yet these some of the most common fears. A mother who makes a study of modern psychology has a wonderful advantage, for she can teach her child to be courageous and even teach it to overcome fears which it may already possess. Just because a child is afraid of something does not mean that he need continue to be afraid of It Schools often make the mistake of building the fear habit in the children instead of courage habits. The child gets to fear he cannot pass his examinations and In time the habit of fear may transfer Itself to other problems. Making children afraid, we crush the national courage.

Children's fears may seem foolish to us, but the trouble Is that they usually remain through life, in one form or another. Chronic fears dialn the vitality and slow down the powers of the body. They interfere with digestion and the proper tone of the muscles. It Is good to realize that courage and bravery are habits. If the child Is properly grounded in thest habits, you can always be proud of him.

WIN SPINGARN MEDAL Word has just been received that Max Yergan, American Y. M. C. A. secretary who has worked for ten years among the native students of South Africa, has been awarded the nineteenth Splngarn Medal for 1932.

The committee has just announced that "he is a missionary of intelligence, tact and self-sacrifice, representing the gift of cooperation and culture which American Ne-goes may send back to their motherland; he inaugurated last year an unusual local movement for inter-racial understanding among black and while students." Yergan was born in Raleigh, N. and is a graduate of Shaw University. In choosing South Africa for his work, he went into a land with much color prejudice and cruelty. In South Africa the natives are herded into reservations and limited to the poorest land. If diamonds or precious metal are found on their land, they must get out without being paid any damages.

They are simply transferred to other land and the government takes their riches. The racial feeling is bitter; so bitter, in fact, that Yergan's inter-racial student conference last year was severely criticised by the government Despite great handicaps, he has carried for ward- great work in South Africa.
