EDITORIAL MANY BLUNDERED A fine summer cabin was built and placed at the disposal of the citizens of American Fork vandals from among the ranks of these same citizens have nearly destroyed this fine cabin. The building mentioned is the Youth Camp and is commonly com-monly referred to as the "scout cabin." Its destruction is evidently the work of teenagers. It is hard to explain why a thing of beauty should be so shamelessly mutilated, so as to be perfectly worthless for future use even to those who destroyed it. The important thing to grasp is that something was wrong in the educational program concerning this building, and it has been disfigured. The cabin was a gift to the young people and it represented represent-ed no effort or toil on their part and while they enjoyed its use they failed to realize its worth. Parents, teachers, scoutmasters, scout-masters, and all others concerned with guiding these groups, should immediately map a program whereby the teenagers will annually contribute their labor to the upkeep and improvement im-provement of this summer house. Once it it theirs by reason of their sweat and strain, they will police and protect it. Meantime, if the culprits who are guilty of destroying it are apprehended, the woodshed and father's razor strap should serve to remind them that their recent course of action is not sanctioned by society in general. WASHINGTON WATCH- By Senator Elbert D. Thomas THE SOLDIER EDUCATION BILL on8 -1. r:- A Ufa Enjoy the r? whiskey that's W CUM rf - r"Vr,, it! i on w Ham t v id, f ' v Whiskey m -A Blend NATIONAL DISTILLERS PROD. CORP., N. Y. . 86 PROOF 65 GRAIN NEUTRAL SPIRITS During the early period of the war I was with President Roose velt and a group of men who were giving their reasons why France fell and why Eugland found herself in her terrible pre dicament. I told the president did not agree with what was be ing said. "France," I said, "fell because the French government failed to raise leadership to take the place of the men who were destroyed in the first world war England was caught In her pre dicament because she failed to do the same thing. And, ' Mr, President, if we do not' begin thinking about the leadership of the next generation, we too are going to slip back". It was estimated at that time we would lose approximately 1 500,000 boys and girls in the cam paigns In Africa, Europe, and Japan. The President asked for my Ideas. The end result was my Soldier Education Bill which was incorporated in the G. I. Bill of Rights. This phase of the bill has nothing in its theory which is anything like the rest of the bill. Trained Leaders The Soldier Education Bill was not primarily written for the benefit of the individual veteran although he has been the chief beneficiary. It was created for the benefit of America and all of the American people. America cannot afford to neglect to create leadership In any single genera tion because our American de mocracy depends absolutely and entirely upon a well-trained citizenry. In one of the addresses I de livered at the last international conference I attended I told the history of this bill. I thought the whole world knew what American democracy meant and it was with this enthusiasm spoke only to find myself almost squelched when one of the lead ers at that conference asked "What is America going to do with so many leaders?" My answer was, "I am not worried so long as those leaders are taught proper principles. Two Million Train As of December 19482,302,624 ex-soldiers were going to school or receiving training and 53,893 had exhausted their entitlement These figures do not take into consideration the rehabilitation phase of the G. I. Bill of Rights Now to bring our story to the local leved for the area covered by the Salt Lake Office of the Veterans Administration, as of December 194813,806 boys and girls were taking advantage of the provisions of that law. I repeat, re-peat, I am not afraid to have that many leaders created in Utah to assume the responsibilities of democracy and the obligations of our heritage. vwsmmp mm? ml mm. mwm ? aimmmumr .
