TTTF.TR husbands?
Are wives nice to their hus
bands as they are on the tele
phone to their friends ? ? ?
To hear some wives on the
phone, you would think that
they ; were extremely nice, but
you should see and listen to
them when their husbands come
in from work. Their voices
change and all the niceness is
gone. Watch out wives? As
you cannot keep your husband
by being nice to other men and
nasty to your husbands.
SCOUTING FOR NEGRO
BOYS IN CHURCHES
The Need of a Program
Most children in this 'stream
lined age' have an abundance
of. time on their hands. Usual
ly they spend but a few hoursi
in school and perhaps a few
more at home tasks and home
tasks are becoming fewer with
each generation. This spare
time creates a great opportuni
ty for the Church to sponsor
programs helpful to the spirit
ual life of her youth.
The program of thje Boy
Scouts of America is especially
designed to fill this leisure time,
and can be used effectively in
the development of boys of
the Church into genuine Christ
ian men. ,
What is Scouting?
The Scouting idea, as we
know it today, originated with
Baden-Powell almost 40 years
ago. j Doing things for other
people was one of its distinctive
features, something unknown
in any boys' work program up
to that time. It brought into
play the romance and practices
of the Knights of King Arthur,
and added a dramatic appeal to
the program as well as to its
possibilities for character build
ing and for training boys to be
good citizens of their church
communities. -
SCOUTING in this manual
refers to the whole program -Cub
Scouting for boys 9, 10 and
11 years of age Boy Scouting
for boys 12, 13, 14 and older
Senior Scouting for young men
15 years of age and older.
Cub Scouting is centered
around the home or the im
mediate church community and
is organized in small groups
called Dens. Its numerous ac-

Prom three to eight boys form

A Scout once gave this simple
definition,:, of Scouting in his
own words: "Scouting- is a
spirit that gets into a fellow
and-makes him want to be bet
ter than he was."
Builds Character
"The Boy Scouts of America
is not an end in itself, but a
means to- an end in character
building,' . undergirding the
home, school and church. It
emphasizes that no boy can
grow intoVthe best citizen with
out recognizing his obligation

NAACP URGES REMOVAL
BIASED STATE DOCTOR
New York Governor Dewey
was today called upon by Wal
ter White, executive secretary,
NAACP, to take prompt and
corrective action against Dr.
Nolan Lewis, director of the
New York State Psychiatric
Hospital whose anti-Negro pol
icy was revealed in an article
by Albert Deutsch, in the New
York newspaper, PM, on Feb
ruary 10th.
Mr. Deutsch reports that Dr.
Lewis excused himself from the
Institute's failure to take Ne
gro patients by saying that
"Negro patients don't fit into
our projects . . . Efficient re
search requires uniformity in
group studies. We don't com
plicate the problem by introduc
ing the biological or racial fact
or." And on the topic of Ne
groes on the professional or
medical staff, Dr. Lewis stated,
"The white doctors wouldn't
stand for it although he ad
mitted that he had never polled
them on the question.
