Bloomington-Normal, III. March 16, 1977 Scouts7 name the same Pantagraph A-7 Boyce Council, said emphatically that the legal corporate name of the Boy Scouts of America had not changed, and that the misunderstanding arose from the Boy Scouts' adoption of a new symbolwhich uses the words "ScoutingUSA." This new logo was mistakenly re- yum Mm t- 'ffeft; i 1 ported as the new name of the Boy Scouts of America. The Boy Scouts of America's new red and white logo includes a contemporary version of the traditional Boy Scouts' fleur-de-lis, plus the new "communicative" name, ScoutingUSA. Use of the ScoutingUSA symbol began last summer, but full implementation of the new logo is expected to take several years, according to DeChant. The traditional fleur-de-lis of Scouting will continue in a modernized form, DeChant explained, but badges and insignia denoting advancement and office will not be changed.

Also not changing will be the three symbols for the Cub Scout, Scout and Explorer phases of the Boy Scouts of America program. DeChant explained that Scouting serves young men and women as well as boys, and that the word "boy" was dropped from the Scout phase of the program several years ago. This was not done because of any pressure from minorities' or women's groups, but because surveys showed the youths themselves did not like to be called "boys." ScoutingUSA was chosen as the Boy Scouts of America's logo because women are now serving, and have in the past served as volunteers, by being den mothers, and in professional capacities as district and explorer executives. Several women are employed by Boy Scouts of America in the programming aspects of the organization. Also, a need was seen to identify Boy Scouts of America with the United States, as the national organization does not serve youth in Central and South America, Mexico and Canada.

DeChant said women have full merr bership in the Explorer phase of Scouting. One post, the Mennonite Hospital Explorer Post, has had two of its women members advance in national speech competition. The legal corporate name, Boy Scouts of America, was established by a chart er from Congress in 1916, six years after Scouting's founding in the U.S. turning out record amounts of the product to meet orders before deadline to stop production.

D. Boyce Council Monday in response to a number of inquiries based on several national news stories. Last month, reports on national wire news services said the Boy Scouts of America, caught in a "modern day identity crisis," was changing its name. The reports indicated that pressure from minority and women's groups caused the name change, as the word "boy" was described as old-fashioned and even offensive to many of its (the Boy Scouts of America's) members.

He moved to the home office in 1969 as superintendent of regional data processing operations, and was promoted to director in 1970. Stolen ISU van found in Mahomet An Illinois State University electrician's van stolen from the north end of the ISU quadrangle Saturday morning was recovered in Mahomet Sunday night by Champaign County sheriff's police, ISU police said. The van was on the quad because electricians were working to restore power to some buildings including Moulton Hall. The outage lasted from 1:25 to 4:43 a.m., police said. The van was apparently undamaged when it was found, police said.

Physical plant workers were to recover it Monday. Battery, cables taken John Fields, Gridley, told Blooming-ton police a battery and battery cables were stolen from his truck during the weekend while it was parked at the rear of the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad depot. The items were valued at $50. Car battery stolen Jim Goggin, 202Vz Packard, told police a $40 battery was stolen from his car overnight Sunday. Police said the vehicle was parked at his home when the theft occurred.

By James Keeran In 1969 the federal Administration (FDA) Food and Drug banned the sale of something hardly anybody had heard of and it touched off a minor revolution. The something was cyclamates. Studies had shown, apparently, that cyclamates caused cancer in the bladders of rats. Cyclamates were used to sweeten diet soft drinks and other processed foods, and when they were taken off the market, that old reliable, saccharin, got back in the ball game. Now, says the FDA, saccharin also may be taken off the market because of the cancer threat, and an industry that does $2 billion worth of business a year, employing thousands, is on the line.

So are the taste buds of millions who use a drop or two or three to sweeten their coffee or tea. Gardner, Katthoefers er Park Zoo of saccharin sweetener only, and the fifth reported a five per cent increase in sweetener sales only. People apparently believe that if saccharin is taken off the market, one store manager indicated, something similar will take its place. Dr. Jacqueline Q.

Karch, a professor of home economics at Illinois State University, said there are artificial sweeteners other than saccharin or cyclamates. One is a combination of two amino acids, aspartic and phenylalanine. It, she said, has yet to pass the FDA test. Another is the dehydrochalcones group derived from the peel of citrus fruits. They vary in sweetness from 300 to 1,500 times that of sugar, five times that of saccharin and 50 times that of cyclamates.

Miss Karch, however, expressed a concern about the demand for artificial sweeteners. It seems as if people have worked their habit for sweets up to point that it is no longer healthy, she indicated. Natural sweeteners, she said, may be fattening, but they do not carry with them the possibility for cancer. But, for the time being at least, saccharin is still on the market and apparently in plentiful supply. When it isn't, something, sai Up-ham, wiy be.

RoyUpham, chief of the food and drug division of the Illinois Department of Public Health, the manufacturers of processed' foods began the search for new, calorie-free artificial sweeteners when cyclamates were banned. He said in many instances manufacturers already have changed their formulas, although saccharin-sweetened foods and drinks and saccharin sweeteners still fill the shelves of Twin City supermarkets. And, despite the threat to saccharin products, there appears to be no rush by the public to horde them. Three of five large grocery stores in Bloomington-Normal reported no change in the sales of saccharin or saccharin-sweetened products during the weekend. A fourth reported an increase of about 50 per cent in the sales FAIRBURY Admitted Sharp, Floyd, Chatsworth Kuenzi, Miss Mary, Fairbury Martin, Tony, Odell Hallock, Randall, Fairbury Jean, Stanley, Pontiac Hacker, Mrs.
