Each stake takes their top troop and Church leaders will select the top 50 from the thousands of troops sponsored by the church. The selection was done by Dennis Mower, charlman of the Roosevelt Stake scouting committee, Bert Dannenberg, district scout executive and Ronald Norton, YMMIA Stake William Cowper, an 18th century English poet said O popular It thusly: applause! What heart of man Is proof against they sweet seducing charms? The wisest and the best feel urgent need of all their caution In thy gentlest gales; but swelled Into a gust who then, alas! with all his canvas set and Inexpert, and therefore heedless, can withstand they power. So It Is with the Job of the presidency of the United States. What makes men aspire to this office? Is it the money? Is it the honor and the glory? Or Is it truly a sense of pride In doing something for your country? These thoughts should be weighed heavily by Americans this week, as they reflect upon the impact of the announcement that President Johnson will not seek the nomination for another term. The announcement came as a shock to us, as it did most people in the nation. Why would a man, who had spent a lifetime building a political career climaxed three years ago when he was inaugurated president after an pull of votes at the polls, suddenly throw up his hands and say, "Ive had enough. Surely he knew of the demands of the presidency before taking office. He certainly understood, too, that he would be subject to criticism. Or is It possible that these demands and attacks are being member. Judging Is based on the number of boys who wear their full uniform, the number of overnight campouts, church activity, patrol and troop organization and how well It functions and other fields. over-whllml- ng de ology, accelerated? We rather suspect that the latter Is true. Gone are the days when a president sits on an Ivory tower, Immune to the verbal attacks by critics. He Is by no means a figurehead, but Is In demand 24 hours a day, seven days a week. His decisions yield great Influence in the lives of millions of Am- ericans. It will be Interesting to see bombhow this political shell will affect the drive for nominations In the two major parties. It is certainly throws new light on the scene, particularly in the Democratic party.
