Wescctt said Monday, "Everyone who contributes to the fund drive Tuesday will be buying a n investment i n citizenship. There is r.o finer organization for boys for building good character and making tcp-nctch citizens. The results obtained through the scouting program will be well worth whatever donation anyone may be able to give.'' Dr. Eibert K. Fretwell, chief scout executive of the Boy Scouts of America has said, 'The Boy Scouts are a great team, a team that works and plays together. For 36 years they have been building ritizens equipped for the great ad venture of life.." Service to Gthers The -scout program seeks to train those boys for service to others and useful citizenship. The program tends to promote better relations and enlightenment be tween the youth, and therefore the peoples, of all nations. The out door activities, the opportunities for community service, and the paiticipation in world friendship movements offered by the Boj Scouts provide a sound basis to: training and developing the youth of America to be individually of sound body and mind, and to be collectively the leaders of this country and the woild in the fu ture. Sccut Leadership The preservation of America and its way of life through four difficult years of World War II was due in part to men who re ceived benefit in youth from the Eoy Scout?. During the war. scouts gave abundant evidence cf the value of their scout training. Again and again military leaders in this and other countries have stated that former scouts stood cut by reason of their lead ership ability, skills and their character. Among the people of the world there is great respect for scouting. ' Scout work is a powerful weap on against jouvenile delinquency through its teachings. A donation to the scout fund will be a sound "investment in citizenship' for Plattsmouth's v-. , ,. m or.g men an.i luture leaders. . 35 UNO Delegates Returning to U. S. I.

EDUCATION AONirriTSATJO & 13XA X Add rCm?HG FIELD SERVICE XT zit J i HOLLYWOOD (UP) Movie dir ector Clarence Brown, who has had many years of experience with the temperamental whims of movie stars, fond that the whims of a younjr deer and a growing '. lield of corn were too much for man to cope with. "Never again," said Brown as he finished the last shot on "The ; Yearling," which took nearly three ! times as long to make as the or ; dinary movie, mostly because of the deer and the corn. ; Brown leported no difficluries ! all with his human stars, Gregory i Peck, Jane Wyman, and youthful ' Claude Jarman, Jr. But he vas used to directing subjects like i them. I "You'd have to try to direct a i deer, or a stalk of corn, to under stand my problems," Brown said. "In the first place, the fawn we , selected for the title role in the i picture jumped the fence in Flor ; ida and was never seen again. "The story of 'T"he Yearling' 1 covers exactly one year in the : lives of the boy and his pet deer. The boy stayed the same size, but : the deer grew rapidly. So we had! to round up a dozen fawns that looked just alike, except they grew progressivly larger. And by the time the picture was over we used up 30 fawns, all in the same part." Brown admitted ' there was plenty of corn in "The Yearling.'' "But it's the growing kind," he added quickly, and it posed an other set of problems. The corn was shown at differ ent seasons of the year, but Brown couldn't just wait for it to grow. And sometimes he had to go bacK to shoot a scene showing the corn in its early stages. "I had the property men get to gether 30,000 cans, and in each one we planted a kernel of corn. We stored them in six barns and every day we planted the corn we needed of the size we needed." Th picture has a 100 per cent Florida background, and Brown took the troupe to Ocala, Fla., to shoot it. But after finishing up in Florida, the company went to Lake Arrowhead, in California, for a month's shooting. Brown refused comment on that production problem. He said he did not want to start any feuds over which state had the prettier scenery.

The late President's son had just excused himself to rush for a train, and the rest of the party was lining up for photographs. A thoughtful look came over Eliza beth's face, and she broke ranks to rush after Roosevelt. She caught him at the door. ''Oh, Mr. Roosevelt, you almost got away," she gasped as she fum bled in her pocket. Then, drawing out a pencil stub and a slip of pa per, she asked: "May I have your autograph?''
