PAGE 10. June 26, 1937 Well, we just couldn’t hold him, his girl we understand is pract­­his girl we understand is practic­ing good knot tyings. Watch out, For our Sunday dinner we cook­ed steak, smothered in onions and boys, were there onions, potatoes, sweet corn and for desert peach­es. After scrubbing our coooking patrol outfit to shine again we went on a hike for tree study after some enjoyable hours, we were forced tb run for camp be­cause of an approaching storm, and boy what a storm. After the rainbow, we were hungry again — and then, the “szalona sutes,” we sliced up large (1” slices) slices of bread, covered it with onions and then went to town with the drippings from the bacon. Just imagine eating this with good cold spring water to satisfy our thirst. Before, we knew it boys from other troops were forming appetites which we were happy to satisfy for them. At the rate it was going we thought it would be a good idea to make it a part of our" scout camp out-door dinners. Before I forget Troop 16 our troop got first place in cooking, well could you expect anything different. Zoltán Süveg JERSEY CITY TROOPS No. 683 First Honors to our Verhovay Troop at Decoration Day parade. Yes sir, that’s the report that comes from assistant scoutmas­ter, Andrew Petrus, Jr. On De­coration Day, May 30th our Troop was the only one fully represented in the parade. That’s some re­cord for the us, because there is approximately 120 troops in Jer­sey City. We had pictures taken and as soon as we have them de­veloped we will forward them so other Verhovay Troops may see us. 1 am breaking in a new troop scribe to take my place so that the new cribe will have more time to write on our activities, because I am kept busy with the rest of the scouts in the troop. A SALUTE TO MR. HETYEY — CHAIRMAN of our Jersey City Troop. After the fine show­ing that our Jersey City boys made in the parade Mr. Hetyey in­vited us to his home and,-----------­then. Hot Dawgs, cake, soda------­— ice cream and well use your imagination, a feast for any king. After digesting this King’s Din­ner, Mr. Hetyey witnessed the finest scout demonstration of his life, in retalition for this genuine Hungarian hospitality. Gee, some­times we wonder how Mr. Hetyey is such a good scout — when he never was a Boy Scout. Besides the above, we are busy looking for a new meeting place because our present one is getting too sma’l to carry on our ac­tivities. The boys are all studying harder than ever to pass their tests so that our troop will be the leading troop in Jersey City. We’­re out to get the championship of the best troop in New Jersey. Andrew Petrus, Jr. 1 Assistant Scoutmaster. P. S. Mr. Hetyey the Verhovay Scouts salute you — we in con­­ideration for the fine guidance you have given our boys in Jersey City and the hospitaility you have shown them dedicate our next month’s issue in your honor. May the almighty God give you ever­lasting strength in your most sin­cere undertaking with our boys. Albert Ari, Acting Scoutmaster Verhovay Boy Scout Troops. Jay Linn, we salute you as new senior patrol leader of Jersey City a scout so thorough in the carry­ing out of his scout laws as you will have no difficulty is teaching good leadership to the rest of the boys of your troop. Jay, good luck to your leadership. A1 Ari. Scouter Skunda, the showing that your troop made in the parade held on Memorial Day is the phayjcal representation of . tjhe fine leadership you show in the guidance of destinies of your troop as well as the scouts in. Verhovay is grateful to you. =VfrhovayQkvfgpja -OUR ACTUARY’S COLUMN Boy will be Men The wonderful growth of the International Boy Scout Move­ment is very much due to the fact that the world' has realized the day is past when we can excuse the foo’ish and silly pranks of our youth and young men by say­ing, “Oh well, Boys will be Boys”. It makes no difference where you find the boy, if you study his character and get to know him thoroughly, you will discover it j is the height of his ambition to become a man as soon as possible. “Boys will be boys” has excused many a youthful prank and short coming. “Boys will be Men” of­fers no excuses, and points a fin­ger to the future that has too often been ignored. The boy of yesterday has be­come the criminal, the racketeer, the revolutionist, the good citizen, I the honest business or profession­al man, the educator or spiritual guide, the leader in Government today... depending upon hi« en­vironment, his experiences and the kind of leadership to which he was exposed. The problem is only what kind of a man will your boy become. It is a problem that knows no national boundaries. In every country of the world the same kind of boys are growing up today, to become the men of tomorrow. How will boyhood experiences, environment and leadership in­fluence the lives of the youth of Japan, £hina, India, Egypt, South Africa, Hungary, Italy, Germany, France, North America etc.? What kind of leaders will these boys be tomorrow? Good sportsmanship speaks a common language. Clean play and clean living in youth are bound to play a part in moulding mature men. Boys are hero-worshippers. They always flock around a lead­er. Leadership helps boys to de­velop as leaders of men. The kind of leadership given to boys in any country is important in determin­ing what kind of men they will become. The International Committee of Young Men’s Christian Associ­ations last August established in­ternational camps in sixteen (16) countries, and held the symbolic “Fire of Friendship” ceremony. Every summer thousands of boys light their torches, all making the same pledge of friendship for boy» of all nations, races and cr$ed^, thus gaining a deeper appreciation of the power for peace that lies in friendship a­­mong the people of all nations. In these camps boys of different religions, beliefs and nationalities compete on the most friendly terms. Forty-five years ago a young man graduated from one of our Medical Universities and was sent to India to superintend the physical department of the Y. M. C. A. Later his territory in­­chided China, Japan, Korea and the Philipines. He had much dif­ficulty and opposition when he suggested to the different cities and communities that they should have gymnasiums, playgrounds, swimming pools and stadiums. Last year many of these same communities sent teams to Berlin to compete- in the Olympics. Our churches, schools and col­leges have long since realized that the physical as well as the social condition of their boys and men should be developed a’ong with the religious, moral and mental. Our social centers know that it is absolutely foolish to preach a sermon or deliver a lecture to a hungry or starving man. After they first feed his stomach then they offer to improve his mind. The ambition of every boy it to become a strong man in every way. THE FOURTH “R” Years ago our schools were satisfied when they taught the “Three R’s” Reading, (W)riting an (A)rithmetic. The fourth “R” at that time was recess and for about fifteen (15) minutes each morning and afternoon the school children were turned loose pell­­mel’i into an open lot to run their heads off if they so desired. Now we have Recreation as the fourth “R” in our schools — classes in calisthje,nid|s, manual training, gymnastics and other phases of physical training. STRONG BOYS AND WEAK BOYS I once heard a social worker say that she never saw either a bad boy or a good boy but every where she went she always found strong boys and weak boys. The boy’s chief desire is to be good and not bad. Weak boys are in­duced to be bad even though they want to be good while strong boys refuse to be led astray when temp­tation assails them on every side. Boys need leadership that will offer them clean manly sports and gains that will he’<p to make them better citizens in the future. THE FATHERS’ RESPONSIB­ILITY I once heard a famous preacher say that no man was fit to be a father until after he had learned to do nothing in the presence of his sons that he would not want them to do when they reached his age. The wise father should act like a brother toward his adolescent boy. He should help his son avoid the pitfalls that the father fell into. Why should our boys not be warned to avoid making the mistakes in their younger days that they would regret for the rest of their lives? Boys can and should be taught to live the clean cut lives that will make it easier for them to become noble citizens who are respected in their com­munity. The early training of the child is what counts the most. It has often been said “Give me the child until he is Seven, and then you can have him until he is Seventy”. No one deny that in due time “Boys will be Men”. The only question at issue is what kind of a man will your boy be­come. WHAT ABOUT YOUR BOY? Let us, for the present, forget the boys in India, China, Japan and other foreign countries and consider the question as to how we may help, aid and assist the sons of our Verhovay Members. If we fail to teach them the neces­sity of being thoroughly honest, industrious and thrifty, all of our efforts to help them are in vain and simply wasted. The very best way to prevent your boy from becoming a wasteful playboy and spend-thrift is to procure for him A Verhovay Juvenile Membership Certificate for as much insurance as you can afford to deposit or invest for his account. It does not need to be on the Twenty Year Endowment Plan, because, at the age of five (5) you can purchase $3,350.00 insurance in the Whole Life Plan for an outlay of only Eleven cents (11) a day which is the same amount that you would invest for $1,000.00 insurance based upon the Twenty Year Endowment Plan. This aver­age daily outlay for the Twenty Year Endowment would be reduc­ed to less than 10c. when we estimate the future Verhovay Di­vidends to be only one-half (%) the amount that has been paid during the past few years. For the present let us forget dividends, and consider only a Juvenile Twenty Year Endow­ment Insurance Policy, issued on a child five (5) years of age next birthday, and let us suppose that the father is the beneficiary and is paying the dues annually (or otherwise) until the child is able to earn sufficent to pay the dues himself. The father has complete control of the certificate until the boy reaches the age of sixteen (16) at which time there is a re­serve of $730.00. After the child has passed the age of sixteen (16) years, he has complete control, of the certificate and if he needs to borrow money to carry on his education or for some other pur­pose he has this reserve upon which his loan value or cash sur­render value option is based. Let us picture the father explaining matters in this way to his sixteen (16) year old son. “More than sixty-five million (65,000,000) people in the United States are now carrying over One- Hundred Billion ($100,000,000.- 000.00) dollars worth of life in­surance and during the three year period from January 1, 1934, to December 31, 1936, more than Six-million ($6,000,000.00) dol­lars has been paid to insured or beneficiaries every day by our insurance companies and associa­tions.” “As you increase the amount of your insurance always remember to choose the Level Premium Plan. Never let yourself be decieved into believing that you are saving yourself money when you select the Step-Rate Plan instead of the Level Premium.” “Why should you want to pay 72c. a month when you are 20 years old and when you reach the age of 65 your monthly dues wi’l be as high as $3.17. Later when you are 75 years old you will have to pay $7.42 monthly and even at 75 after you had paid dues for 56 years the Step-Rate Certificat» will have no non-forfeiture fea­ture options such as, Cash Surren­der, Faid-Up or Extended In­surance; neither do they ever have loan values for the payment of dues or otherwise.” S.
