Chief Executive Portz announced this course would be free and -different—.. in many ways from any previous course given in Greene/County and would provide sufficient' recreation and good time to make it attractive to Scout Leaders and Committeemen from all over the county. It is in­ tended to give th meen a logical view-, point of ,scouting and a systematic basis upon which he may build future activities with boys. . The class will be conducted some­ what in a manner to make it as much like a real Boy Scout Troop as. pos­ sible. Students will be organized in­ to troops with a definite patrol or- name, yell, song, etc., with its lead­ ers, scribes and' other officers needed. There will be enough lectures to make it extremely interesting. Students will - have projects of various kinds to car­ ry out which will be added to exhibit. The whole course will contain songs stunts, poems, games and contests that can be taken back to the leaders own troops. Mr. Portz assures this coming class , that he will use some of the big men of the .council for instructors and promised to make all the meetings full of pep and interest and hopes that a large, number from Cedarville will en­ roll.

The theme of Dr. Orr’s discourse was the expres­ sion often used by Jesus in his minis­ try—"Be of good chccr.’ ’ It was .ad­ dressed to the weary, the discouraged and to the. sinful, and was sufficient for every emergency in human life. "Dr. Orr distinguished between this and the common bromides of the pres­ ent day \vhit>h may he trite, arbitrary and even banal, their only require­ ment being that they have the approv­ al of the majority. “Keep on smil­ ing,” "laugh, clown, lqugh” and “ everything’s going to be all right” were not to be compared with the meaning of this blessed assurance of Jesus which tehdod to sustain the suf­ ferer while the seat of the trouble was given the attention it stood in need of, . “ It is not true that everything is all right. Many things call for radi­ cal change, but while this is in pro­ gress, good cheer is exceedingly help­ ful.
