B-r-r-r Brother it's cold — and I mean it's the cold shoulder
you'll be agettin' from your teen-agers if you don't remember
to let them build their Explorer programs around their in-
terests and desires. Shure and you might be gettin' out the old
shilla (how do you spell it?) to keep 'em in line, but programs
unrelated to their interests are just plain boring! Right? Right!
It's almost plantin' time again, and the houses are full of
beautiful tomatoes —catalogues. Maybe your plans for Phil-
mont are like that. I shore hope they get past the plannin'
stage. All you gotta do is plant the seed — stake the plant,
and you're in.
Nothin' like a good spring cleanin' to straighten a father
out and put his mind at ease, and there's nuthin' like a good
"hobby college" to straighten a feller's thinkin' out on what
he's agoin' to do when he grows up. Getchur self one o' those
Hobby College reprints from the Explorer Service or turn to
page 24 of the Council and District Explorer Activities Manual
(Cat. No. 3145) for details on how to run such an affair. The
same book has some good ideas on conservation and service
too. Check with your Local Council fer what you can do to
help the camp be purtier.
As fer May — well that's Mother's Day, and you'll want
to do somethin' special for your gueen. And it's gitten along
about school closin' time too, so you'll be wantin' to get a job.
Why don't you invite a personnel man or some business man
in town to meet with you, and then you fellars can right out
and ask him how to git a job, and what's more, hold it.
You'll find the following booklets helpful fer Roundtable
discussion in your meetin's. Order them from Science Re-
search Associates, 57 W. Grand Avenue, Chicago, Illinois:
Helping Youth Choose Careers, Choosing Your Career,
How to Get THE Job, Work Experience — Preparation for
Your Career, What Employers Want, School Subjects and
Jobs, Getting Job Experience (40c.ea. or 3 for $1).

CANDID OPINIONS AND CANDIED PHRASES
Purty near everything is good at something or other —•
even a porkeepine has its points. Your Explorers in your
Troops must be doin' something — send in their story to
Blue Ribbon Events at this here magazine and we'll send
'em a fresh new unused certificate.
"Forward on Liberty's Team" has been handed down
from Revolutionary Days, and it shore makes me feel
right proud to be a team mate o' yours. Each generation's
been fightin' to maintain our liberty and I reckon it's up
to you and me to thwart the efforts of those who would
undermine the liberty of our young men.
If you have trouble droppin' off to sleep some night,
instead o' countin' sheep start countin' the good things
about your country, your home, your family. You may sit
up all night but it'll be worth it.
Outdoor Director Schmidt, the Ernest one from Schiff
Reservation, says, "If this snow keeps up, it won't come
down." Ernie has writ Litepac — all about how to make
your own personal camp gear. Send 15c to BOYS' LIFE
fer your copy.
