SOMETHING
WONDERFUL HAPPENS
When Your Child
LEARNS TO EARN
Over a million boys and girls have
learned to help themselves by sell-
ing American Seeds. Each year
from January to June these ''junior
salesmen" earn spending money
and prizes selling 15c packs of
American Vegetable and Flower
Seeds to family, friends and neigh-
bors. They make no investment,
they take no risk since any unsold
packs may be returned.
We send each boy or girl a box
of 48 packs of seeds on credit. When
sold, they may keep one-third of
the money collected or they may
choose a prize from over 50 prizes
offered in our Big Prize Book.
They learn responsibility, sales-
manship, self-reliance, thrift . . .
and best of all, they enjoy 'the
wonderful feeling of earning some-
thing for themselves.
Help your child LEARN TO
EARN. Fill out the coupon below
for an order of 48 packs of seeds, or
we will be glad to send you further
information.

Scouting in
Public Housing Projects
^^VER HALF A MILLION BOYS of
Scout age are now living in federally
aided low-rent public housing projects,
according to the Public Housing Ad-
ministration. This is an important
three per cent of our available boy
crop. Here is a wide-open opportunity
for achieving better than average
Scout density. Local housing authority
officials welcome the assistance of out-
side agencies that will help them do
a hetter job.
In nearly every project there are
both boys and adults who have been
Scouts or leaders in their former loca-
tions. Most of them want to continue
Scouting. The familiar activities of
Scouting may serve as a welcome aid
in adjusting to their changed environ-
ment.
Project managers constantly collect
and evaluate information concerning
tenant needs and the means of meet-
ing them. Most managers are glad to
cooperate in making surveys of boy
facts and leadership potential.
P.H.A. policy calls for "providing
families of low income with adequate
community services to meet the needs
of project families." P.H.A. directors
consider Scouting an important part
of the needed community resources
to project residents. Many projects
with more than 50 dwellings provide a
community room for such activities.
Contact the executive director of
the local housing authority and, with
him, develop a program of Scouting
in the projects under his jurisdiction.
Make Scouting available to boys in
public housing projects. Now is a good
time to get started.
