The "roundup" will offe. an opportunity to "teach 'n recruit" those boys who want, to be Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Explorers. Since its beginning in 1910,.

the program of the Boy Scouts of America has encouraged boys to build useful lives, based on action and doing to-achieve the" objectives of build-, ing character, citizenship, and personal fitness in the boy.

The Scouts are currently engaged in a membership campaign inviting all boys 8 to 18 to "Follow the Rugged the Scouts." Editorial Scouting Appeals to All Boys Boys like Scouting and they want to be Scouts. A major effort of the Boy Seouts of America from September 13 to December 17 is to make Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Exploring available to many more boys in our area. The fall membership campaign stresses the theme, "Follow the Rugged Road" to Scouting and to adventure. The experience and excitement of outdoor activities help build boys into men who are physically, mentally, and morally fit. As a partner with many local religious and community organizations, Scouting has become a vital educational force in the lives of thousands of boys.

Great strides have been made in congested urban areas, sparsely "populated rural areas, fast-expanding residential areas wherever boys live. Now, however, the fall roundup program of the Boy Scouts of America becomes a potent force to "reach 'n' recruit" more boys before they grow out of the ages 8 through 17. "Breakthrough Youth," the two-year program of the Boy Scouts of America, represents a new emphasis on bringing Scouting and its values 'to the many boys now without the opportunity to be Scouts, The 1965 fall roundup Invites new Scouts into existing Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, and Explorer posts, and it is also a plan to organize new Scout units to take care of the exploding youth population and to recruit more adults as volunteer leaders and committeemen. We encourage every boy who wants to be a Scout as well as interested adults to join Scouting during the 1965 roundup. guard; Peter Tabone, chaplain; Nicholas Chacona, immediate past district deputy of Sayre; Joseph J.

But even though the mishap is the' fjult of the child, no motorist would want any such unfortunate accident on his conscience that could have been avoided had he been alert to thp ever present possibility that a youngster may for one-fatal moment forget." Last year there were 7,553 Pedestrian accidents. Many, involved children and of these accidents were caused by people jay-walking and. coming from behind a parked car.

"Last year estimated dollar losses caused by fires in the United States totaled $1,367,128,000 a decline of 1.3 per cent under 1963, said J. Dewey Dorsett, president of the American Insurance Association. 1 2 "However, in 1965 they are on the rise again," he added.

"Vigilance is essential in holding down fire losses, and the best way to prevent unnecessary fires is to try to keep them from happening." Mr. Dorsett gave high praise to educational institutions in particular for the setting up of periodic fire drills to familiarize students with how to get out of the building quickly in case of emergency. "Fire drills are important for schools. They are equally important for similar protection of families at home," Mr. Dorsett declared.

"Every home," he added, "should have an escape plan. I suggest that if your home does not have one that you draw one up tonight. "Gather all of the members of the family together and figure out at least two escape routes, so that one of the two may be used if 1 the other is blocked. "Assign adults and capable older children to the job of getting the little ones and elderly people outside the house fast. "Get everybody outside, then call the fire department if necessary from another location.

"Never under any circumstance, re-enter a burning building. "Only by observing fire prevention rules and planning, can we cut down the tragic toll in lives lost in fires, a greater loss in terms of value to our country than the destruction of property." Pointing out that 11,900 persons lost their lives in fires in the United States last year, and that thousands more were injured in fires, Mr. Dorsett said: "A building can be rebuilt. A life lost can not be replaced." TWO-WEEK TESTS: About 20 experiments will be conducted aloft during the 14-day orbital flight planned for next year, say 14. Cmdr.

I'm afraid my shoulders will droop from carrying heavy books to and from classes and leaning over my desk every day. Do you know of anything I can do to prevent round shoulders? A.

Books won't round your shoulders but bad posture will! Stand straight, sit straight, and, until it's a habit, think straight. This exercise will help: Lie flat on your back on the floor with both arms out to the sides. Begin arching your back, as if a string were pulling your chest to the sky with no help from your elbows. Let your head slide as you go until the top of it touches the floor; the rest of your weight should be on your hips and heels. Count to three, slide back down on your back, and repeat five timet, gradually increasing to ten.

And, after homework, put one of the books on your head and walk around the room two or three times. Q. People are always asking me to repeat things I say. I (nought I spoke clearly, but mow Tm beginning to wonder. Do yoa have aay suggestions? A.
