i TAVCEN ON THE
The Polish Scouting As
sociation—in Action
By JERZY WALDENBERG j
The Polish Scouting Association is j
the largest organization of youth in j
Poland. 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.

Plans for the New Tear’s Party
will be completed at the December
meeting.
Z. Ulanowaki, former member of the
Police Glee Club was elected director
of the Glee Club.
Anthony Zaleski, attorney, read a
poem of Peter Nlewiarowski, which
appeared in the program of the Polish
War veterans. The club passed a re
solution of appreciation to Mr. Nie
wiarowski for the splendid work he
has been doing along the literary line
for the Polish people. Many of his
works having appeared in the West
ern Star and leading Polish dallies in
the East. The poem read by Mr. Za
leski was proclaimed an outstanding
piece of work by this author.
Other speakers of the evening in
cluded Frank P. Kawa, who thanked
the club for the support shown in con
nection with the Polish War Vet
eran's 15th Anniversary Celebration,
which was held last month, William
Skocz and Joseph Gloeb.
In "Heroes or American History"
which appears in all the Hearst pub
lications, pas printed a history of gen.
Pulaski on October 11th. It appeared
through the efforts of Joseph Gloeb.
The club will also sponsor a “Barn
Dance" at the American Legion Hall
on Thursday Evening, November 19th.
The proper manner of dressing for
this event will be in old clothes, typi
cal country dress apparel. Stanley
Kamaah, president, urges all mem
bers to attend this dance. 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

Why doe* our Constitution fix thei

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

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.
