8, the actual birthday of the Boy Scouts of America, more than 4,500,000 boys and leaders recommit themselves to the Scout Oath or Promise at 8:15 p.m. At that time the second year of the "Onward for God and My Country" four -year program will begin, with emphasis in 1957 to be placed on to Country." Scouting is America's accepted program for boy development. Leaders of the free world acknowledge everywhere that in the ideals of the Scout Oath and Law, principle of the "daily good turn," and emphasis on World Brotherhood is the hope for peace. Of the six and a half million boys in 60 member nations of the World Brotherhood of Scouting, three and a half are in the United States. In 1957 a British Jubilee Jamboree will be held at Sutton Park near Birmingham, England August 1-12 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of Boy Scout movement, and the centennial of birth of Lord BadenPowell, the founder.

Four boys and two leaders will attend from South Mississippi. In America, the big event will be the fourth National Jamboree which will attract 50,000 boys leaders to Valley Forge, July 12-18. From Pine Burr Area Council more than 130 boys and leaders plan to attend. What is the purpose of the "Onward for God and My Country" program? Perhaps an explanation of its origin would help in understanding its purpose. A study made the "turncoats," refused to return to America following the Korean conflict, pointed up the lack of belief of the young men involved -either in God as the ruling and leading power in the universe, or their country and its heritage of liberty.

The Boy Scouts of America- as a supplementary program to our nation's basic institutions, the home, the church, the school- has as its fundamental purpose the training of the boys of America in qualities to and citizenship maintaining that our free way of life and, through these boys, to demonstrate to the world the values of freedom. The citizens should be developed to be "physicalstrong, mentally awake and morally straight." Health and education are important in the free world, but to remain free, ideals and spiritual convictions are basic. To these principles Scouting is dedicated. The symbol of the "Onward for God and My Country" program is the picture of the Cub Scout, the Boy Scout and Explorer--the hope of America's future- in the foreground, and George Washingtonthe Father of our Country--on his knees in prayer at Valley Forge in the background. If the young man in Korea could understand that Washington was willing, as one of the wealthiest men in America, to turn his back on a life of ease and undergo eight years of military campaigning in the cause of freedom to win the Revolutionary War, he would be more willing to accept the fact as stated by Jefferson that "the fires of liberty must be eternally reaplenished with the blood of patriIf he could furter realize that the "Father of our Country," when the colonies were falling apart under the Articles of Confederation, gave an additional three years of leadership to the writing and adoption of the Constitution, and as a final sacrifice served eight years as the first President to help firmly establish the principles of freedom, he will fully appreciate and believe in his American heritage.

The second National Jamboree also was held at Valley Forge in 1950, and as in 1957, 50,000 boys and leaders came to understand that when problems and hardships reach the limit of human endurance, it is time to get knees as Washington did and go to God in prayer. South Mississippi is indeed fortunate in having God-fearing men who are willing to give, even at personal sacrifice, of their time and effort to see that its boys of all races receive the advantages of the Scouting program. As an example, L. O. Crosby Jr of Picayune, in serving two years president, did miss a Council or Regional meeting, and gave unlimited time and resources in the projection, construction and dedication of one of the finest Boy Scout camps in the nation.

In his two years of office, both boy membership and advancement increased and his administration was described one of the best in the United States, Ben M. Stevens Sr of Richton, has assumed the presidency, has worked closely with Mr. Crosby for five years on the finance program. and is pledged to continue and tend the record. He have will predecessor as vice president in charge of Exploring.

Crosby as president, has continued to work diligently as a vice president, and will be in charge of Boy Scouting in 1957. With the leading men of the section giving dedicated leadership, and nearly 2,800 volunteers working on the Council, District and unit levels, more than 7,000 boys in 314 units now are enrolled in the program in the Pine Burr Area Council. Nationally, nearly 1,200,000 volunteer leaders give leadership to more than 3,300.000 boys in 111,000 units. of Only men good character are accepted for leadership positions in the Scouting program. Their educational and occupational background are well above the average.

The greatest limitation to the growth of the program in this field-of men who are willing to unselfishly give of their time and effort, to make sacrifices If necessary, for the general welfare.

Otto Paul Kretzmann, president of Valaraiso University, told Mississippi Southern students today "there are no good alternatives to high religion." Following ceremonies which marked the opening Religious Emphasis Week at Southern, Dr. Kretzmann told a overflow crowd in the main auditorium: "Good reasons for religion are more clear and decisive now than at any time in history of mankind. "When all the histories of the 20th Century are written, there will be one historian who will say that! the most important thing that happened in this 100 years was the complete change toward religion.

"For 200 years, the world has worshipped the little gods- money, security and power." The speaker, who also is president of the National Lutheran Educa-1 tional Conference, called for a return to religious values. The address followed an official welcome of the religious leaders to the campus by President William D. McCain, Ten REW speakers were introduced. Similar convocations will be heids each morning at 10:15 through Thursday. Seminars and panel discussions will be held daily and the leaders will meet with various groups at dormitories, fraternity houses and the Pan Hellenic House.

Goren On Bridge ANSWERS TO BRIDGE QUIZ Q. 1- As South you hold: KQ 10 7 6 49 7 4 AQ 5 AK 9 7 The bidding has proceeded: South West North East 1 spade Pass 2 hearts Pass What do you bid now? A -While all the suits are stopped rebid of two not trump is not recommended because the hand is not strong enough to justify such action. Very little over a minimum is held and a rebid of two spades does justice to the holding. To qualify as a sound rebid of two no trump, the opening hand must have at least 15 high card points.

Q. 2-As South you hold: 4 KJ 10 QJ 10 6 4 A 10 05 A 4A 7 4 The bidding has proceeded: West North East South heart Pass 2 hearts What do you bid? You might as well accept a short profit. You have no reason to feel confident that you can make three of anything with this unattractive distribution and a double by you would obligate partner to bid. Q. 3- As South you hold: AA 864 073 Q6 7 5 The bidding has proceeded: North East South West Pass Pass 1 spade Pass 2 no trump Pass What you bid now? A.

-After partner's previous pass his jump to two no trump is not forcing, but there is no doubt that we wish nevertheless to proceed to in game. However, an effort should be made to find the safest contract. The suggested call is a bid of three clubs. If partner returns to three spades we shall go on to four. If he persists to three no trump, then surely that will be the best final contract.

Q. 4--As South you hold: 72 9753 4 7 4 The bidding has proceeded: North East South 2 no trump Pass What do you bid? A. This hand stands a very good chance of producin gfive or six tricks for partner and consequently is on the verge of a slam. The best way to indicate such a holding is by a big jump of hearts. Our own preference is for five hearts.

However, the situation may be handled adequately by first responding with three hearts, intending to make a leap beyond game on the next round. Q. 5. As South you hold: AK 96 4 K3 AQ7432 The bidding has proceeded: South West North East club 1 heart spade Pass 2 no trump Pass 3 spades Pass 4 spades Pass 2 What do you bid now? You have already done your full duty by this hand and should not be unduly influenced by the distributional features which you have already described. Your hand is quite minimum as to high cards and you may assume that partner is guard that you may have a 6-5 distribution.

His reon, sponse of one heart has done nothatling to improve your hand and any slam suggestion should come from him if there is to be a sound play for it. Q. 6-You are South and have 60 part score: 742 0 2 4Q 10 6 3 2 76 5 3 The bidding has proceeded: North East South heart Pass What do you bid? me timid if you choose but my vote is for a pass. It is my practice to go to great limits to keep the bidding open when a advanced part score is held, but this is going too far. Too frequently have complications set in by virtue of South's "sporting" bids of one no trump in situations such as this.

Partner has received no warning and caries on the fight against the expected competition to his great lisaster. One cannot expect always to be right in these situations, but I am persuaded that the pass will be wiser in most cases. Q. 7-Partner opens with one club and you hold: 4Q 74 0J 63 742 4 95 What is your response? The choice lies between one spade and one diamond, with our vote going to the latter. This is a common sense response and is calculated to make the opener's rebid 88 easy as possible.

If he has A secondary heart or spade suit he may show it at the level of one. A spade response by you would make it difficult for partner to show the heart suit If he has It. The only highly improper response would be one no trump. This would make it impossible for partner to rebid at the level of one, which he might well desire to do. Q.

8- As South you hold: 10 8 6 06 5 4A 4 3 4 752 The bidding has proceeded: East South West North spade Pass no trump Pass 2 hearts Pass 4 hearts Pass Pass Pass What is your opening lead? A- A trump. This is better than first taking a look with the king of diamonds. You must start getting dummy's trumps out so that declarer will have less opportunity to ruff spades, which you have well bottled up. When you get in with a diamond, is very likely, you will be able lead another trump in an effort to complete your sabotage. QUITS PORT AU PRINCE.

A great many people have the mistaken idea that in order to paint they must pay for a great outlay of materials. Actually some of the painting media are quite inexpensive. An adequate set of pastel colors, for instance, including the paper, can be bought in Hattiesburg for less than $2.

The low cost of pastel does not regulate it to a lowly state as far as art is concerned. In the hands of a master, pastel acquires a beauty that is almost impossible to duplicate in any other media. The wonderful paintings of Vegas give ample proof of this fact. With its low cost, speed and simpleness of execution, it is understandable that pastel achieves great. popularity among students wherever it is taught.
