this same section are references to
other books and pamphlets which
will help you, your PL's, and your
ASM's,
Now refer to your Scoutmaster's
Program Notebook. In it you will
find: (1) Troop roster, (2) yearly
Council events, (3) teaching aids
and games, (4) outdoor camp pro-
gram suggestions, (5) suggestions
for each month, (6) objectives,
(7) pages for putting your weekly
programs down in order, (8) camp
and hike records, (9) advance-
ment.
This book provides plenty of
space for your own notes, and in-
cludes a quarterly yardstick and
yearly summary. It's a publication
every Scoutmaster should have
and use. The Skipper's Program
Notebook does the same job for
the Sea Scout leader.
The 1942 Diary contains many
helpful program ideas before each
month's entry, and these check
with Scouting programs and the
Notebook. The three publications
are tied together, and together
they will reinforce the program of
your Troop. Use them well in these
days when every one of us must
be strong for america.
At any moment, anywhere, we
may be called on to perform just
the jobs for which the program of
Scouting prepares us. Let us ask
ourselves this serious question. Is
my Troop ready? We can't blink
the answer. If it is "yes," let us
improve on perfection. If it is "no,"
then we all have the tools with
which to make the program work.
ATTITUDES OF YOUTH
IN a recent address before the
students of Lafayette College,
President William Mathew Lewis
pointed out how easy it was to
become emotional, petty, and pug-
nacious in a world chaotic with
war. With each hour bringing some
unexpected and tragic situation,
and with established
ideas and ideals seem-
ingly going by the

soldiers at the annual Valley Forge pilgrimage.
board, it is easy to become excited
but difficult to remain cool, objec-
tive and confident. The opportunity
and responsibility of leaders at this
time must be to cultivate serenity
in the midst of calamity, to seek
for truth undisturbed by passing
events, and to develop a scholarly
attitude relative to the great prob-
lems which confront civilization.
President Lewis emphasized that
the present world crisis will be
over in a few years, but if during
this period the youth of the world
with their ears to the radio and
their eyes on the headlines develop
a feeling of depression, hopeless-
ness, and cynicism, the greatest
opportunity of their lives for ade-
quate life preparation will be lost.
However, if these youths have an
opportunity to develop attitudes of
tolerance, sincerity, humility and
ideals of service and brotherhood,
civilization will be safe. This is not
to say that we must teach them to
ignore the suffering and destruc-
tion — to do so would be stupid
and inhuman, but we must give it
only its due share of consideration.
The challenge of this time to
every individual, particularly those
of us engaged in the great work
of shaping youth, is to emphasize
those elements of mind and spirit
which shall insure stability, seren-
ity, and altruism. These will safe-
guard democracy and the orderly
progress of civilization.
CALIFORNIA TROOP
FIGHTS FIRE
Living up to their Motto, "Be
Prepared," and displaying cour-
age and resourcefulness, the Senior
Scouts of Troop 284, Inglewood,
California, a few months ago ex-
tinguished a raging desert fire
which threatened the small settle-
ment of Mitchell's Caverns.
The fire, first sighted by a local
ranger, was several miles north-
east of the Troop's camp and a
steady wind was driving the fire
towards Mitchell's Caverns. Senior
Scouts Finch and Blanchard im-
mediately followed the ranger to
investigate the seriousness of the
