The crusade, which jjs aimed at enriching program, procuring more leaders, and making the program available to more tqys, will be cHmaTfrd in 1950, marks the 40th anniversary of the movement. District esmmissioners, under the leadership of Council ComnSissioner E. H. Pitcher, are heading jgie committees that? will plan actifrities to tie in with the nationaUy-pJromoted crusade. 1 A recent statement by J.

Edgar Hoover, director of the FBK pointed out that "Boy Scout training makes a deep and lasting impression In the many FBI men who werjjj Scouts when boys, I have seen theiypersonal qualities which Scouting develops: self reliance, dependability, and an unselfish devotion to dutr. These are qualities which broughf victory to our armies on the far fiSmg battle fronts of the wo-worlc wars. MANLY TRAINING "America needs men with such qualities now, and she will always need them in all walks of life and in all occupations. "There is no better way to prepare our teenage boys today for leadership in the atomic age of tomorrow than by giving them the kind of manly training in" citizenship that the Boy Scouts America provides." figures just Released by the National Council of Boy Scouts, over! 15,000,000 boys have been Scouts since the movement's beginning in 1910. Scouting tor boys is carried on through mcfre than 70.000 Cub packs, Scout troops, or Senior outfits in the Unites States, Alaska, Hawaii, Canal Zone, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands anfi Guam.

That is, the Hoover clan has thrown inter-school tournamen.s for district and city championships to the winds.

They'll battle for their own school's top spot in the seasonal games and let the playground teams that crave it go far afield for the greater glory. Seems the stay-home decision stems from a long series of wins during which period the Hooverites took on all comers on the junior high circuit and many teams from the senior high schools and came through "with straight four years' undefeated record in all games," says Coach Sarzen. That's a quote, son, take note. QUITE A BUNCH "Not only repeated victory- was theirs, but the winning scores were so lop-sided almost without exception," says he, "that finally the boys began to gripe about spending time arM money traveling just to see the other fellow lose. It was then that tl -s idea to pit the Hoover teams against each other according to grades took root in the coaches' fertile minds, and what started as a somewhat dubious experiment before the holidays has developed into a sure-firesuccess which leaves no room for argument.

Twenty-four basketball teams currently are battling foif the school banner, in which the daily margin of victory or loss tcj date hasn't exceeded six points and far more often has been determined by one or two points.
