our ability to do an effective piece
of service in response to this first
call to action is gratifying and im-
poses upon us all a special trust.
As the President's letter indi-
cates, this task is serving an im-
portant purpose in informing the
American people promptly of the
opportunity to share in the defense
program of the Government, and
also is providing an opportunity
whereby Scouts and Scouters may
have the satisfaction of knowing
that they are doing their part
through personal service to aid
the nation.
It goes without saying that the
trust thus imposed upon us makes
it necessary for us to do a real job.
We are confident that under Lo-
cal Council leadership, spreading
out as it does to cover every part
of the nation, we are prepared to
plan carefully and place this pro-
motional material efficiently in a
way which will reflect intelligence
on the part of all the leadership
of Scouting.
It is important that the limited
number of posters available should
be placed where they will do the
most good and where they will be
seen by the largest number of peo-
ple and under conditions which
will most likely be productive of
the results desired, namely, the
purchase of Bonds and Stamps.
In the various Councils different
plans will achieve this end. Posters
are available only through Local
Councils. A reproduction of the
poster is on this magazine's cover.
We are confident that all will at
once recognize in this whole pro-
ject an opportunity and a great
challenge. We are sure the task
will be given priority over every-
thing else and that each of us who
is related, whether as an Execu-
tive or a volunteer—yes, or as an
individual Scout—will make a
most earnest effort to see to it that
a thorough job is done. Each and
every one of us will, we are sure,
be moved to say "On my honor,
I will do my best."

National Council to Meet
o
TO WASHINGTON" has
renewed significance this
year as representatives of
the Boy Scouts of America return
for their National Council Meeting
to the place where our First An-
nual Meeting was held in the Na-
tion's Capital in 1911, and where
the First National Jamboree en-
camped four years ago. Headquar-
ters for the meeting will be the
Willard Hotel.
The theme—"Physically Strong,
Mentally Awake, and Morally
Straight"—is the keynote for the
meeting which is a combination of
two main features: It is the legis-
lative meeting of the National
Council; and it is an inspirational
gathering, a place for discussion of
ways and means for advancing the
program of the Boy Scouts of
America locally.
The program will open with for-
mal sessions on the morning of
Friday, May sixteenth, and will
continue through Saturday, May
seventeenth, when the reports of
the Committees on Resolutions and
Nominations will be submitted at
the final session.
The luncheon on Friday will be
addressed by Sir Willmott Lewis,
Chief Correspondent of The Lon-
don Times, now in Washington,
who knew Lord Baden-Powell per-
sonally and once worked with him.
He will speak from intimate ex-
perience and a rich life, having
served as a foreign correspondent
in England, France, China, Japan,
Korea, Philippine Islands and the
United States.
At a Friday session, Senator Ar-
thur Capper of Kansas, a member
