The university team will be

gruelling competition. Competi-
tions started with a basic group
of 18, selected for outstanding
scholarship. It was then narrow-
ference works to establish com-
mon grounds in thinking and ac-
tion among all its member as-
sociations. One of the major
highlights of 1967 will be the
Twelfth World Jamboree to be
held at Farragut State Park in
Idaho next August. The first to
take place in the United States,
it will bring together more than
15,000 scouts from 100 free na-
tions. Although they will speak
many dozens of different lang-
uages and come from widely
varying religious, economic and
cultural backgrounds, they will
for a time share common exper-
iences and pleasures and be unit-
ed in the purpose of building
world friendship.
In the work they are doing, the
Boy Scouts deserve the respect
and support of all of us. Building
character in boys today shapes
emn of whom all the world can
be proud tomorrow.

from the Hon. Roland Boyd,
which we print below. His sug-
gestion for the creation for a
Pioneer Farm Life Museum for
Collin County, in our opinion is
a very timely one. The Examiner,
having served the rural areas of
Collin County since its founding
some eighty years ago, will sup-
port heartily any efforts made by
local citizens in getting such a
museum underway.
Mr. Boyd had this to say:

Household discards are of value
to the Salvation Army, notes
Major Byron A. Freeman, com-
manding officer of the Men’s Re-
habilitation Center for North
Texas.
“Summer or winter clothing,
bedding, repairable appliances
and furniture, and many other
household items are always need-
ed. We invite our friends in Mc-
Kinney to call Li 2-3336 and a
Salvation Army truck will pick
up these discards from their
home February 6 & 7,” he added.
The Salvation Army cleans and
rebuilds household items. This
process supports the rehabilita-
tion of over 1100 men each year.
Through working in Salvation
Army shops men seeking rehabi-
litation learn skills which will
help them become self-supporting
after graduation from the center.
