Xhe citiz ensof the Orem ar-' ar-' ea will be given a chance to answer that question from the heart during the months of October Oct-ober and November, for it is the time of the annual drive for i funds for the Boy Scout move-c move-c ment. ' IS THE GOAL TOO HIGH? tyith the Council goal of $36,-185 $36,-185 00 the Sharon-Orem District Dis-trict goal amounts to $3000. ' Some people may feel that this " amount is too much. It Is true ; that it may seem like a huge 1 sum of money for Scouting but the amount is really small when compared to sums raised for other community projects and almost insignificant when compared com-pared to the $53.22 per capita : spent by the people in the state of Utah last year for liquor and ; tobacco. Is the boy worth at least a fraction of that "amount as a member of an organization ' that will help him as much as Scouting? Others say "There are too many drives for funds. I can't support them all". We : usually pay for the things we ; desire most. Is Scouting desirable? desir-able? The Boy Scout program is one of universal appeal to boys- For years the Sharon-Orem district has achieved results that no one will question.

FEW OBJECT TO PROGRAM Let us analyze the chief arguments arg-uments against the proposition. The first of these is: "I don't object to the contribution, but . I do object to the money bein? aken elsewhere. Why not pay some of our efficient local men I and forget about bringing .in paid scout executives?" The an-swer an-swer is that scout supervision is a profession. Scouting is carried car-ried on largely by volunteer leaders. We would not be able to buy their service to boyhood for any amount of money. They , do it because of their interest in boys and their faith in the ; Scout program as an aid to their development.

We owe them at least this much help from men who devote their entire time to Scouting as a career. There are also many other services and facilities proved pro-ved by the Utah National Parks Council which the annual campaign for funds makes possible. poss-ible. WHY NOT THE CHURCH Scouting .is not a church program pro-gram as such; it is a program adopted by the church, but it belongs to a national organization, organiz-ation, it was agreed by church authorities back in 1913, when we church accepted the pro-sram, pro-sram, that the ecclesiastic body wuld support the national or-Samzation. or-Samzation.

LeGrande Jarman, an esteemed citizen of great integrity in Orem, is running run-ning on the Democratic ticket. Both would represent Orem Jianorably and efficiently. Only one can be elected.
