In the International world of scouts, Poland has the largest organ ization after the United States, and Great Britain. Thanks to its large membership and high ethical level, the Polish Scouting Association is an or ganization which is gradually begin-, ning to penetrate into every domain of national, social and economic life. Scouting in Poland began under very adverse circumstances. — The young enthusiasts of maj. General Ba den-Powell’s idea had to work under the very difficult conditions of the pre-War era, when Poland was under foreign domination. During the War and especially immediately after, — when the country was in a state of devastation and exhaustion, there was no time to increase the ranks of the organization. Even trained instruct ors, who could teach the youth an xious to join the organization, were lacking. The well conceived and directed works of the Polish Scouts and Guides gradually began to yield good results. When in 1930 the energetic Wojewoda (Governor) of Silesia, Dr. Michal Gra zvriski, became the leader of the Pol ish Scouting movement, it was pos sible to begin the so called offensive on the youth. That this action attain ed the best results is proven by the fact that during the following four years the membership of the Polish Scouting Association increased to the figure of 215,000 scouts and guides. The field of activity of the organi zation had to be considerably enlarg ed. Dr. Graiyfiski organized the first camp in the beautiful locality of Bucz. in Silesia. It was at this camp that the world conference of scouting or ganizations waS held in 1933. It is now a training camp for girl-guide instru ctors. Gradually the Polish Scouting Association began to own more and more”places suitable for the schooling of youth. Two tourist shelters, one on the Gloddwka near Zakopane and a nother on the Kostrzyca near Woro chta in the Eastern Baskid mountains, have been erected. Both are now used as the central headquarters for ski ing. a sport keenly followed bv the Polish scouts and guides, besides be ing important tourist centers. Yaenting and sailing on the lakes, rivers and streams is rapidly develop ing with clubs on Lake Narocz near Wilno, in Warsaw, in Grotniki near IMi, and in other places. Sea-yachting is also very much In favour with the Polish scouts and guides. Every year a large number of ••Sea—wolves" board the yacht Zawi sza Czaray, which cruises during the summer on the Baltic. The girls re celve training tm the y««e«.S. Griiynn. j Gliulm; » a very ■«"* ! among the Polish girl and boy scouts At the world congress of scouts in Godolo in Hungary the Poles amazed < those present by their acrobatics and I skill Incidentally, be it mentioned the scouts built their own gliders. The Poles are also the first scouts to own an aeroplane. It was presented to them this year and is used for the instruction of young pilots. In 1933. in Flock near Warsaw the first scouting short-wave radio sta tion (signal call SPIT) was erected. About 50 scouts were trained there during the first few months. Soon the whole country was covered with a net-work of short-wave training sta- ! tions which were privileged to work j nver the whole area at Poland, I And last but not least Is the splen- j did work done by the scouts to Telleve unemployment In 1934 the first volun teer detachment was created In. Ma linka (Silesia) for the putyose of pro curing wutn for thi greatest yerribi* number of unemployed scouts on ur gent public works, such as road con struction, regulation of livers, etc. The idea of creating the first scout working -camp proved to be a happy one. And excellent results were yield ed. Shortly afterwards, a second u\Jt was formed at Rudaltowice, and dur ing the Jubilee congress of the Polish Scouting Association at Spate, a third one was inaugurated. It was this lat est detachment which built the camp for 30,000 scouts in the forests sur rounding the summer residence of Pro fesaor Ignacy MoScicki, President of the Polish Republic. The combating of the crista baa led to the establishment of all kinds of scout and guide workshops, such as sewing-shops etc., in LAdt, Krakdw, L«wicz, Warszawa and Katowice, — which have given work to hundreds of boy-scouts and girl-guides. From this general outline of the functions of the Polish Scouting As sociation an idea may be gained of the immense educational work done by it,—work which la developing very successfully and which la training the youth who pass through its ranks to become valuable citizens of the coun try.

The public is invited to attend. Mme. Curie—Mother j of Radium Last Saturday, November 7th mark ed the 69th anniversary of the birth of the birth of Marie Sklodowska-Cu rie, Polish scientist and “Mother of Radium.” The New York State Con ference of Polish Clubs in yearly ob servance of this great event held state wide celebrations in her honor. Mme. Curie was the fulfillment of that belief that now and then men and women are born to serve mankind in some big way. Her discovery of rad ium has advanced science and relieved human suffering. The spirit in which Mme. Curie and her husband Pierre Curie have done their work has challenged the minds and souls of men. In her autobiogra phy she has written: “So it is fortune that we have sac rificed in renouncing the expoitation of our discovery, & fortune that could, after us, have gone to our children. * • * Humanity needs practical men. who make the best of their work for the sake of their own interests, but it also needs dreamers for whom the unselfish following of a purpose is so imperative, that it becomes impossi-1 ble for them to give much attention ; to their own material benefit." Mme. Curie chose to be one of these ' dreamers whose only thought was to I contribute something to man's wel- I fare, and she never complained of the ’ | poverty, illness and hardship that fol- j | lowed her choice. Her death on July j 5, 1934, a martyr to her work, de prives the world of a benefactor, — great scientist, teacher, writer, wise wife and tender mother. She exempli-' fled the highest feminine achieve ments, but remained a simple human being through the years when fame was hers. The City of New York pays to the memory of Mme. Curie and her achie vements a well-deserved recognition when It darned one of its streets in Manhattan, “Marie Curie Avenue.” — Servant of mankind, her name, like Newton’s "belongs to the ages.” BARN DANCE The Pulaski Club of America and Auxiliary will give a November Barn Dance on Thursday, November 19th, at the American Legion Ballroom, 25th and L Streets. Music will be fur nished by George Gloeb’s Barnyard Hot Shots. Admission 35 cents. Door Prize will be given away. Last year the Barn Dance proved a big success. Everyone who attended it had a good time. The committee in charge promises that this year’s dance will be even more interesting. Those that have been following Pulaski Dances know that a grand time can be had at them. And those who have been missing out on them . . . well they should come, and really enjoy themselves. An Ode to Liberty Not unexpectedly, the fiftieth birth day of the Statue of Liberty, as cele brated recently in New York, was the occasion for many oratorical out bursts on the subject of "liberty” and “freedom.” But it remained for an obscure young European, newly ar rived in this country and scarcely able yet to speak the language, to give the clearest and simplest explanation of what liberty means to the Ameri can people. The incident was related by Dorothy Thompson, the journalist She wrote: "Why did you come here ?” I asked. "They would have called me up next month for military service,” he said. “You don’t want to fight?” X asked. “For what? he said. "No, X don’t want to fight Not for what I had there. I couldn’t make a living. Not what you’d call a living. I wanted a chance.” "A chance for what ?" I asked. "A chance to work," he said, "to make some money and keep It and get a home and do as I please. I want to get what I'm worth and I want to keep it. Back there you don’t get enough ever to save anything, and what vou’ve got they tax away from you. They take care of you when you are sick, according to their own ideas and they'll give you bread if you’re out of a Job. but there’s no future. There’s never anything to look for jhe weekly Constitutional -«-frvMAX BEPNS .— ■■ Frequent Elections 7,i; Why doe* our Constitution fix thei term* of member* of Congress? I History shows that many govern ments became despotic because offi cials remained In power tor Ute or for Indefinite terms and so were not responsive to the will of the people. There was no way short of revolu \ion to retire unsatisfactory rep resentatives. For example. In 104 the English Parliament fixed Its own term of office at three years; In 171S It Increased the term to seven years including the terms of mem bers then In office who thus kept their party In power for a longer term than that for which they were sleeted: In 1911 Parliament reduced the term to five years. Blmllarly, The Federalist, great authority on our Constitution, points sat that “Elections In Ireland were 'egulated entirely by the discretion W the crown, and were seldom re peated. except on the accession of a ew prince, nr some other contln eut event. The Parliament which •mmenced with George II was con anued throughout bis whole reign, a 'erloo of about thlriy-flve years" Under our Constitution Con groan hu no power to Hi Its term of offlen as Article I states Congressmen "■ball be chosen every second year," and Senators “shall be chosen (or ■lx years." This protects us from the des potism of a legislative body with In definite terms and makes Congress responsive to the people by periodic elections.

"Who do you mean by they?” I vasked. “The government the bureaucrats, the soldiers, the bosses. They don't give you a chance. They don't let you alone." "What is freedom?" I asked.
