In tho post thro decades tha nearly nine Million former or present membera have rendered notable service to our community and our nation. In times of distress from floods, hurricane, tornado and other disasters they have demonstrated the effectiveness of organised boy service. During tba period of economic stress they contributed In many ways to the relief of suffering, and they havo rendered noteworthy service In flood arms. Tba Scouts have also contributed to n deeper appreciation by tbe American people of tha higher conception of good cltlsanshlp. THEREFORE, I, MARK ANDERSON. MAYOR OF THE CITY OF PROVO, do hereby recommend that citizens of this City do whatever they can to observe Boy Scoot Week and glvo their support In strengthening tho work of the Boy Scoots of America, particularly through the Utah National Parks Council which administers the Boy Scout Program in this Community. I earnestly recommend that our civic organisations, our churches and our schools cooperate In carrying out a program for n definite recognition of the effective service rendered by tbs Boy Scouts of America, In order that the work of the Boy Scoot Program may be extended to n larger proportion of tbo boyhood of this Community. The Boy Scout Movement offers unusual opportunity for volunteer service. It used men to serve In various capacities as leaders of boys. I hops that all wbo can, will, through tbo organisations with which they are connected, enlist for such personal service. Anything that Is dona to increase the effectiveness of tho Boy Scouts of America will bo n genuine contribution to tbo welfare of thin Community, tho State, and tho Nation. In witness whereof I bsva hereunto set my band and caused tbo seal of this Community to be affixed, Done this 1st day of February, In tbe year of onr Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty.
