SCOUT NEWS

Troop No. 7 Things starved off with a bang last night as the first real meeting of the summer got under way. Due to the unusual number of boys who took long vacations this summer, things have not been well as usual. Last night put an end to all this, as boys seemed to come from everywhere to fill the cabin on the golf course. One of the more important events on the program was the unanimous election of the boys to accept as our new Scoutmaster Mr. William Corley. Mr. Corley will take the place of our former Scoutmaster Mr. Larry Montague, who is now in the R. C. A. F. in Canada and will soon joining the fighting forces in England. The troop also was very happy to have as our new Assistant Scoutmaster Mr. James Gilmore who, after being inactive with the troop because of other duties, will now be with the boys again and take up where he left off. Among other things at a meeting which was mostly business, it was decided to change back from our summer neckerchief to our regular plaid ones, of which the boys are so proud. Plans were made for participation in the annual swim meet. Our meeting was closed with a circle of friendship followed by the Scoutmaster's Benediction. The Scoutmaster minced lines given over to our new Scoutmaster, Mr. Corley. JOHN MeWHORTER, Senior Patrol Leader.

Pan-American Airways Forges New Link Between Americas

A new link in the international air services binding the Americas together has been forged with Pan American Airways' new schedule across the Caribbean Sea, from Miami to Barranquilla, Colombia, by way of Cienfuegos, Cuba and Kingston, Jamaica. An additional Clipper flying boat has been placed in service on the regular trans-Caribbean route to the Colombian port, bringing the schedules on that run up to three round trips weekly in the place of the former two. Heavy demands for accommodations on this run between the United States and the northern coast of South America made the 33 per cent increase in service necessary, reported Pan American Airways' officials. Also, during the winter especially tourist travel is heavy to Jamaica, the midway stop. The Miami-Barranquilla route is 1,1150.4 miles in length, almost directly southward from Miami, over Cuba and Jamaica. The trip is made between breakfast time in the United States and dinner in South America well before dark. At Barranquilla connections are made with Douglas airliner services eastward to Venezuela and Trinidad, westward to the Panama Canal Zone, Central America and the South American west coast, or southward by "Avianca," the Colombian air line to Bogota, Medellin, Cali and other interior cities. Growing commercial activity between the United States and South America is also reflected in the heavy traffic on the high-speed, non-stop, "over the weather" air service between Miami and Balboa, in the Canal Zone, which, combined with the high-speed Pan American-Grace Airways services down the west coast and across the Andes provides a 3 1/2-day service between the United States and Buenos Aires. This service is complemented, on the east coast, by similar high-speed schedules to Rio and the Argentine. As an indication of the tremendous expansion necessitated by present defense and commercial activity throughout the twenty-one American republics, the air line's officials revealed that Pan American Airways is now operating seventeen schedules weekly to South America, thirteen of these providing service indirectly, or through connection, with the Canal Zone and, over the lines of Pan American-Grace Airways, to the west coast route to Rio and Buenos Aires. Other connecting services are currently operated in Cuba, Mexico, the West Indies, Colombia and Brazil, while on the west coast, Pan American-Grave Airways has added new services in Ecuador and Bolivia.

Skilled Labor Needed in State

TALLAHASSEE—A definite demand for skilled and semi-skilled workers in the aircraft and shipbuilding industries exists in this state, and the needs reported by these industries also indicate a definite shortage in other key occupations, according to Boyce A. Williams, chairman of the Florida Industrial Commission. Williams explained that on a state-wide basis the defense labor supply when compared with demand showed fewer shortages than were reported by some areas, but that the shifting of the labor supply from one locality to another was an uncertain problem. The largest statewide shortages occur in the shipbuilding industry. In two other occupations, job setters and forging press operators, there are no available men registered in the office of the State Employment Service. The greatest demand in the state is for machinists, and all industries needing machinists are apt to face shortages as the demand for this type of skilled workers exceeds supply in all areas. For the next few months ship carpenters will be strongly in demand in both Jacksonville and Tampa, although Jacksonville does not report any shortage at this time.

Defense Quiz

Q. How do I get the highest return on my investment in Defense Savings Bonds? A. By holding each bond for its full term of years you will secure the full maturity value. A Defense Savings Bond of Series E increases in value 33 1-3 per cent if held for 10 years. Q. Is the Government concerned over whether I buy my Defense Savings Stamps at post offices, banks, savings and loan institutions, retail stores, or elsewhere? A. No. The Government is interested in having as many persons as possible take a hand in the National Defense Program. Toward that end the Treasury is making bonds and stamps available for purchase in the largest number of places possible. Note—The buy Defense Bonds and Stamps, go to the nearest post office, bank or savings and loan association; or write to the Treasurer of the United States, Washington, D. C. Also stamps now are on sale at retail stores.

Fingerprinting of Local Defense Workers Ordered

TALLAHASSEE, (SDC). — All persons in Florida engaged in defense programs will fingerprint the printer's ink in the fingerprinting department of law enforcement agencies in every county in the state, it was announced by officials of the Florida State Defense Council here today. John Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI, in co-operation with the SDC of Florida, is having prepared a special national defense application card on which all civilians may be fingerprinted. "A survey completed of fingerprinting equipment in Florida indicates that both personnel and equipment are available for handling this important assignment," George L. Burr, Jr., executive director of the SDC, said. "In the few counties not having adequate facilities or trained personnel, arrangements are being made to secure equipment from adjacent counties so that the program may be carried out in every county. The cards, when completed, will be filed in Washington under a special 'defense volunteer' classification. This file will be maintained, we understand, long after the emergency is over and should serve in years to come as a memento to the patriots in Florida who have so willingly volunteered their services in the interest of civilian defense." To Contact Law Officers The SDC has asked all county defense councils to contact the sheriffs, chiefs of police and other law enforcement agencies having fingerprinting equipment, and advise them of the number of persons expected to be fingerprinted. In order that co-operating law enforcement offices may not be unduly burdened, the SDC has suggested through the county defense councils that definite times be arranged for fingerprinting and that wherever possible volunteers be trained to use the equipment and to assist officers in rolling prints and securing supplemental information as called for on the card. No actual fingerprinting should be undertaken until the special cards are received, it is announced. If this activity has gotten under way in any of the counties in Florida, arrangements should be made to have such cards as may have been submitted to the FBI transferred to the special file. For the sake of state-wide uniformity, it is desired that no further prints be taken of civilian defense volunteers on other than the special card. Lieutenant-General Albert H. Blanding, former National Guard Commander, and SDC division chairman for Civil Protection, points out that "this plan will make it possible for a known espionage agent or criminal with an arson record to remain undetected in an important position in the defense organization or in vital industrial employment." Useful Purpose Another useful purpose was outlined by Dr. G. S. Osincup, SDC division chairman for health and housing. "In case of disaster in peace time or emergency, it is difficult to identify the wounded and those who have lost their memories," Dr. Osincup said. "Fingerprinting will be a valuable aid in reuniting these people with their families. There is no stigma attached to it, but it is a patriotic duty and opportunity." The next step in the SDC fingerprinting project will be to extend the system into telephone exchanges, power plants, harbor facilities and other industrial and business establishments. The labor and personnel division of the SDC, Lisle Smith, Haines City, chairman, is cooperating with the health and housing and civil protection divisions in the fingerprinting program.

LESSON-SERMON ANNOUNCED

Churches of Christ-Scientist "Man" is the subject of the lesson-sermon which will be read in Churches of Christ, Scientist, throughout the world on Sunday, September 7. The Golden Text is: "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God" (I John 3:1). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-sermon is the following from the Bible: "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if the children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; (Rom. 8:16, 17 [to second). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science Text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Immortal man was and is God's image or iden, even the infinite expression of infinite Mind, and immortal man is co-existent and co-eternal with that Mind. The spiritual man's consciousness and individuality are reflections of God. They are the emanations of Him who is Life, Truth and Love. Immortal man is not and never was material, but always spiritual and eternal" (p. 336:9-12, 14-18).

“Advertise? I no need to advertise! I sell da apple without your “advertise.” I tink datsa foolish!”

TRY SOME OF THESE FINE APPLES 3 for 10c TALK ABOUT ADVERTISING to Tony and he'll say, "I no advertise!" But, of course, you know that he's doing just that, perhaps in another way. He does it when he puts up that sign . . . when he paints his cart a bright red and blue so that it can be easily identified, so that it looks gay . . . when he stops at a busy corner, because Tony knows that he can sell more apples when more people see his apples . . . when he shouts "Apples!" as he pushes his cart along. TONY HAS LEARNED the first principle of successful selling: bring your wares before the eyes of great numbers of people and you can sell profitably. But not everyone in Coral Gables is a Tony, and few business men specialize in apples. Moreover, Tony is satisfied with the number of apples he sells. A progressive merchant would never stop there. Tony is advertising—yes, but in a feeble, limited sort of way. If you are not like Tony—if you are not satisfied with the number of "apples" you are selling, and you want to sell more—you'll advertise in a newspaper that has a loyal local following, one that is read by the people who are able to buy your "apples." In Coral Gables that paper is The Riviera. Advertise Where You Get the Best Results THE CORAL GABLES RIVIERA READ BY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BUY
