HELP BOYS GO TO JAMBO­REE, WARDEN LAWES URGES Lewis E. Lawes, Warden of Sing Sing Prison for the past 18 years believes that the National Scout Jamboree to be held at Washington, D. C., June 30 to July 9, provides an unusual op­portunity for Americans “to per­form a constructive service for our future manhood.” The Jamboree, he says, will be one of the greatest events in the history of American boyhood. It will bring together more than 25,000 boys of every state in the nation and from 24 foreign lands for ten days of camping together, pageants, excursions and fellow­ship at their 350-acre “tented city” on both banks of the Poto­mac River. “Today, in many communities of the country,” Warden Lawes said, “boys are preparing to go to this great Jamboree. But, there will be countless other who though willing and deserving to attend, will not be able to do so because of economic reason. Permit me, therefore, to make the following proposal, which I assure you is my own, and not suggested to me by the National Boy Scout or­ganization: “May I propose that citizens provide the means which will en able at least one Scout from every community to attend the Jambo­ree?” Warden Lawen feels that in its 27 years the Boy Scouts of A- merica has become a vita1, force in American life, having touched the lives of more than seven and a half million boys and men. He disclosed that an impartial survey of the Boy Scouts showed that while one of evefy 240 noh- Scouts was a Juvenile Court de­linquent, only one of every 978 active Scouts was a delinquent. While he believed it would be er­roneous to conclude that Scouting itself accounted for this vast dif­ference in ratio, there can be no doubt, he said, that “the favorable influence of the Scout Movement was to a large extent reponsible.” “Children usually pattern their behavior upon that of someone with whom they come in contact, and respect. The ideals which are instilled in their minds represent an essential preparation for later life. The influence of trained so­cial leaders is therefore of vast importance. I urge as many of JUNE 30th TO JULY 9th We wish all our brother American Scouts good luck, fine showing and Good Camping. Lets show the international re presentation what we American Scouts can do what all good scouts are required to do. As Ameciran-Hungarians we greet and welcome Our Hungarian Scout Delegation from Hugary. We wish with all our hearts that your representation will bring to de^r old Hungary the recognition that she rightly deserves from the world. God help you and guide you. “Isten áldása és testvéri cserkészi üdvözlettel!” VERHOVAY BOY SCOUT TROOPS OF U. S. A. our citizens who can qualify, to take up this task of educating our youth along lines of good citizenship.” "When the National Scout Jam­boree convenes in Washington, Scouts from this country will take part in many activities. Those young men — of our country and of other nations — represent the leaders of tomorrow. We know that very often complications be­tween countries arise because men lack an understanding of their fellow beings. "Is it not desirable, therefore,” Warden Lawes concludes, “to en­courage as many young men rrom various nations to meet at a time when lasting friendships can be made, and when the horizon of understanding can be broadened? Insight into the ideals and char­acteristics of those who live apart from us in other sections of the world tend to create a feeling of good will which augurs well for future peace among nations.” DUTCH SCOUTS FOR WORLD JAMBOREE Boy Scouts of The Netherlands are busier than ever these days. They are making ready their 325- acre camp at Bloemendaal, Vogel­­ensang, as an “international town of tents” to house 25,000 Boy Scouts of all parts of the world gathering for their Fifth World Jamboree from July 29 to August 13. World Scout Jamborees are held every four years. The camp is on a historic estate behind the sand dunes of the North Sea, ten miles west of Ams terdam. Eight thousand Boy Scouts of Great Britain have charted eight steamers to take them across the North. Sea to the camp. A total of 1,050 reservations have been alloted to the Boy Scouts of America whose contin­gent will leave for The Nether­lands gathering at the close of its own National Jamboree at Wash­ington, D.

The “Spirit of St. Louis”, the other half of the famous Lindbergh team—"We”—will be visited by more than 25,000 Boy Scouts of all parts of the nation when they converge on Washington, D.

WORLD SCOUT JAMBOREE MARKED BY POSTAGE STAMPS The Netherlands, hosts to the Boy Scouts of 48 nations for their Fifth World Scout Jamboree at Bloemendaal, Vogelensang on the North Sea next July 29 to August 13, has issued three speci­al stamps to mark the event which will bring 25,000 boys together for two weeks of camping to­gether and fellowship.
