OUR BOYS

One of the brightest s po ts o n

the horizon of t he n ew y ea r which

dawns today is the new life that isbeing i n je cted in to the Boy Scout

organization.

Th e "triple alliance," consisting

of the executives, the boys, an d

their parents, bids fair to accom

plish results. This is t he o ne an d

only foundation on which to build.Unless t he mov emen t h as the

s up po rt o f t he home, neither the

boys nor those who give so

largely of thei r t ime an d energy inl ea di ng t hem c an r ea ch t he high

goal of good citizens toward

which they all aspire .

Ou r boys ar e a priceless heritage. T he y will be the future

le ade rs of the community. No

finer group of , boys eligible to

membership exists anywhere.

They are a ct iv e, a le rt , b ri gh t,

wide-awake, an d keen to observe.

They are at the most favorable

impre ss ionab le age . Narberth

should, an d could, h av e t he b es t

Boy Scout u ni t a lo ng t he entire

Main Line.. A - ~ c l - N g W Y e ~ r ' s resolution

for every father of a bo y in the

Borough could be patterned after

the Boy Scout oath, paraphrased

o r ead : " I will do my du ty t owardmy boy this ye ar ." T his could

easily be l iv ed up to by assistinghim in joining the organization and

then accompanying him to as

many meetings as possible.

The boys ar e wilIing. All t hey

require is the encouragement of

their fathers. There is a responsibility In t he mat te r, which can

easily be placed.Th e Borough needs a good Boy

Scout organization. Th e pros

p ec ts o n this New Year's day are

; lhat i t will soon have one.
