Boy Scouts Use World Theme On Anniversary
Boy Scout week, Feb. 8-14, observed in commemoration of the 35th anniversary of the movement's founding in America, will have as its slogan this year, "Scouts of the World-Brothers Together." This theme was chosen for the week of celebration, as well as for the rest of the year, because of the probability that in 1945 the organization will be reborn in liberated nations throughout the world.
As each country is liberated, Boy Scouts plan to take up where they left off at the outbreak of World War II. Then, Mussolini, Hitler, and Hirohito, fearing the power of the Scout movement, had abolished the organizations in their countries. In place of Scouts, they organized a new type of youth movement which instilled in its members hatred and revenge. Hitler tried to abolish the groups in each invaded country, but there is evidence that in many nations the Boy Scout movement was closely connected with the underground movement.
Just as they have played an important part in obtaining peace by working with the O.W.I., Selective Service board, and war chests, the 3,000,000 Boy Scouts throughout the world will play an important part in maintaining peace. Not only their actions, but the very ideals for which they stand will help build the post-war world. All Boy Scouts are dedicated to cooperation, tolerance, good-will, and friendliness.
Admiral Ernest J. King undoubtedly had these ideals in mind when he said, "During the post-war period, this country will need the benefit of every thinking mind to shape and direct our destiny. The Boy Scouts of America provides the best of training today to help young men prepare themselves to take their place as American citizens tomorrow."
In summing up the future work of the movement, Dr. Elbert K. Fretwell, chief Scout executive, said, "The time will come soon when the 'Scouts of the World—Brothers Together' will do their part to build the triumphant new world, more glorious because of their devotion to Scouting's high ideals."

Mr. Carey, ceramics instructor, tells the story of a man who was quite friendly with his attractive secretary. Several members of his office staff found a place where they could watch his private office. One day while the secretary was sitting on his knee, the observing colleagues called from an outside phone. The man answered in his customary business greeting and a voice at the
other end said, "This is the voice of God—aren't you ashamed?" The secretary hurriedly collected herself from an abrupt deposits on the floor, and it took several days for the boss to recover from his case of office-maid's knee.

Nancy Teichgraecer, Moving Van Inc., was driving the painting and drawing department's closest skeleton to its new abode in Ad. Evidently it is considered a novelty to be escorted by a bag of bones perched coily by your side. At any rate, two passing medics commented with raised eyebrows that the coeds were certainly getting hard up for dates.

Five former students at the University of Kansas are enrolled in a "University in Captivity" in a German prisoner-of-war camp, according to information received from the World Student Service Fund, New York City.
The fund serves prisoners of war in 33 countries, supplying theatrical, art, and sports materials in addition to quantities of books and study materials. "Universities in Captivity" are organized in camps by secretaries of the fund. In one camp for 3,000 American prisoners in Germany, 130 hours of course work are given weekly under prisoner-instructors.
