Last week was National Boy Scout Week, and this week is National FFA week. And although these two programs have no connection, they both qualify in our book as builders of strong Free With changes in thinking nationally, with young people turning from the profession of working the soil, because of the prospects of hard work and little recompense, and others scorning the kids stuff training received in scouting, it is refreshing to realize that these two great organizations are not giving up. To . the contrary, they are expanding their programs to reach even greater numbers of boys and help them shape their lives. One of the joys of being av . newspaper publisher is in support- ing such programs. Weve attended many FFA banquets, even judged one sweetheart contest, and have been named as honorary chapter farmer of two different chapters. It has been enjoyable over the years to see these young farmers grow and gain a love of agriculture. On the other hand, being in the newspaper business has its drawbacks. Weve always loved work- -' ing with young people, camping, hiking, etc., but with Scout meetings traditionally on Tuesday evenings throughout the years in the areas where we have resided, we have not been able to become as involved with Scouting as we would have liked. There was only a little over one year, when Scout meeting was moved to Monday evening, that we were able to serve as a Scoutmaster, and we thoroughly enjoyed it, even the winter camp. But then, Monday evening was designated as a time for family gatherings, so Scout meeting was moved back to Tuesday, and we were out of a job. But we've been able to work in the background. Weve worked with boys as merit badge counselor for many years in half a dozen different categories; as troop committee member of three different troops, as an assiatant scout: master, as finance chairman, and on the district committee. As we look back on Scouting experiences, we can still feel great appreciation for our Scoutmaster, who even obtained a part-tim- e job, and donated all of the earnings from this extra work, to help finance some of our activities as a troop. He laid some of the groundwork that helped us develop and take our place in society. Another memory that stands out involves a group of Explorer age boys, and the joys of working for, planning for and enjoying a three day outing in the Boulder Mountains for six years in a row. With a different group of boys each year, we saw strengths grow, and weaknesses overcome. It was a great time. But perhaps the greatest surprise and thrill we have received in Scouting came last week at the district awards dinner, when we received an Award of Merit, along with Mrs. Alva Snow. Not of Scoutbeing in the fare-froing, we had never anticipated such an honor. But it was ip- -' ' IV to beat the weakening of the ice as temperatures begin to warm and ice g softens.
