Hong Kong
Mrs. William Glasky's idea of mailing
Scouting magazine to libraries is ex-
cellent, but the address should be ac-
curate. "Hong Kong, China," is not
correct. Hong Kong is the name of the
British colony, like U.S.A., or Canada.
Victoria is the capital; write it "Victoria,
Hong Kong," and it should get there.

Natural for the Navy
As a Navy man and a Scoutmaster, I
was interested in a statement by Admiral
Roy S. Benson in Our Navy magazine
for November. If Admiral Benson had
his way, he says he would accept any
man who had been an Eagle Scout into
the Navy regardless of educational
background. "To be an Eagle Scout," he
said, "you not only have to have persist-
ence but courage and initiative. It just
seems to me that an Eagle Scout would
be a natural for the Navy."

Boys only
Scouting magazine had an article
"For Boys Only," stating why leaders
should not attempt to go through the
ranks of Scouting. I agree. Scouting is
and should be for boys only under the
leadership of adults. Leaders who have
not gone through the ranks as boys when
they were young should not invade the
organization that is set aside for boys
to try to get ahead in Scouting. This
gives boys the false idea that they can
get badges of rank and merit badges any
time they want them. Scoutmasters and
other leaders should try for the Scouter's
Key or the Scouter's Award and not for
something they did not get as a boy.
This gives the boy something to look up
to and to know that here is a leader he
would like to follow.

Rockwell paintings
I greatly admire the pictures in The
Golden Anniversary Book of Scouting
by the famous artist Norman Rockwell.
Many of the pictures would be ideal for
decorating the walls of unit meeting
places. Is there any way I can obtain
reproductions of these spiritually mov-
ing and interesting pictures?

(The National Supply Service has both
framed and unframed reproductions of
eight of the Rockwell paintings for sale.
