decided that the Boy Scouts meet
the requirements of the situation
better than any other organization
that could be divised; and an effort
is being made to stimulate the en

A campaign for the extension of
J the organization among Catholic

Virginia. Thi present movement
has the hearty approval of the Right

It is evident, from what . as al
ready been done, that the idea has
impressed many pastors very favor
ably. More than 400 inquiries have
been received by the War Council
asking for information as to the
methods of organization. This pamp
hlet has now been prepared. and
will be sent out to our agencies. It
may laso be obtained by addressing

anxious to include in his troop all
Catholic Boys who will care to af
filiate wH+i his troop. Catholic
Scout Masters are also needed and
anyone desiring to act in that ca
pacity are invited to pet in touch
with Mr. Carne. Independent troops
of Catholic boys may be established
by the local Knijrhts of Columbus,
under their leadership. St. Joseph's
Parish should have a Troop, and ef
