Show around the (f Q J j SUGAR TOUSE E j With the Editor R j An opportunity for you Bulletin Bulle-tin readers to say what you think about any subject opens this week in a column which was laid aside a few months ago due to shortage of space. The title is "In My Opinion." The only requirement we make is that you have something worthwhile to say. If it's criticism, crit-icism, make it constructive. If it's an essay, be sure your facts are straight. If its advice, be sure that it's well-founded. 1 I Our first letter is written by ! Milton Weilenmann, an insur- I ance executive and World War II infantry veteran. Mr. Weilenmann Weil-enmann recently returned from a two weeks training period with the Infantry at Ft. Lewis, Wahington. The conditions I he observed there, reminded l ' him of lessons he had learned in Italy during the war. His observations ob-servations should remind all of us that "eternal vigilance is the price of safety. We are grateful to the Sugar House Chamber of Commerce for some late pamphlets on Utah. It helps us supply information infor-mation so constantly requested about Utah. (Ed. X'otc: The following lines were written last week. Space shortage prevented their use.) . The Bulletin's first (and only) on-ly) . "foreign correspondent" reports re-ports " that his tour of duty abroad is about to end. Young Boy Scout George Garwood, who for the past four weeks has been sending in reports on the progress of the Scout jamboree jam-boree at Moison, France, writes i this week from Le Havre, the port from which he will sail for home. In this week's report, two dispatches dis-patches are included. In the last two weeks George has traveled over country and seen sights such as few boys are priviliged to do. His letters to Bulletin readers have been filled with interesting and intelligent observations. ob-servations. This week he tells of his fleeting visit to Paris and Versailles, at the Jamboree's close. His next letters will be postmarked from eastern U. S. and then he will be home and back in school once again. It has been a very pleasant relationship rela-tionship for us at the Bulletin and we shall miss his newsy weekly articles. We're still blushing around here at what we did to the old and new bishoprics of Bryan Ward last week. The proof-i proof-i reading department was on va-J va-J cation. At least that's our excuse. ex-cuse. Anyway, we humbly apologize apol-ogize to Bryan Ward. We had former Bishop Sorensen living in the wrong house and all the ether members of the old bishopric bish-opric jumbled up in a most disconcerting dis-concerting fashion. Aug. 18, Moisson, France Today marks the ending of the sixth Scout World Jamboree Jambo-ree at Moisson, France. Our days here have been spent in meeting and making friends with scouts from all over the world. The first night of the Jamboree Jambo-ree we had a great campfire meeting at which all of the nations na-tions were introduced. The gigantic gi-gantic spectacle ended in fireworks fire-works display. The next day we began meeting scouts. Practically Prac-tically all of them could not speak English. But that only made it lots more fun. Le Havre Early Tuesday morning (the day after the Jamboree) . we got in and hiked to National plaza, where we boarded buses to Rosny Sur Seine. Traveling by train from there we arrived at Versailles at 8:30 in the morning. morn-ing. We inarched to the King's palace and went through it. The gardens are about the largest and most beautiful in the world. We ate lunch 'midst the fountains and flowers and then went shopping in Paris. In Paris The next day we journied to Paris and spent most of the day visiting the points of interest. That night we stayed in a hotel and slept on a nice soft bed. Boy was it nice after 9 days on the hard ground. Next morning j we slept until 11 o'clock, as we I were so tired. When we finally got up we rushed to. the station because we had been told the night before that our train for the ship would leave at 12:39. When we arrived there the station sta-tion master told us partly in French that the train had been cancelled and for us to come back either at 5 or 8:30. We decided to catch the five o'clock train. But when we got back the Jamboree official said that they had decided to just use the 8:30 train. Train Mix-up Our patrol compromised and took another train to Mantes (about 20 miles from Paris, where we changed to another train and finally at S:30 arrived back at camp. What a lot of trouble just to travel 40 miles. It was still a lot of fun though, and we did make it nack. That night I was lucky e-nough e-nough to get the 2 to 4 watch, and since we had to get up at 4:15 it meant that i woull have only 4 hours of sleep. I am still only half awake, as we came into Le Havre, where we board ed the Gen. Harry Taylor (a sister ship to the Muir). Yours truly, Geo. Garwood. |
