Sweetwater Reporter, Texas, Sunday, November 2, 1952
Many Boys Wailing
For Boy Scouting;
Manpower Lacking
Boy Scouting in the Sweetwa-
ter district is lagging because of
lack of manpower. H. D. Norris,
scout executive, told Sweetwater
Kiwanis Club members at their
Friday noon luncheon at the Blue
Bonnet hotel.
Boys are asking to get into
troops, some troops are not func-
tioning and the situation is behind
the demand because there are not
enough men volunteering to ' open
the door for the boys," he said.
Norris pointed out 'hat "this
community has all of the assets
needed to do a good job for the
boys. We have the good will as an
organization, the desire on the part
of boys and everything except vol-
unteers. One troop is temporarily
being led by a mother because
there is no man to do the job.
"Our district has 32 units but
the total of 760 boys is down 89
from Jan. 1 for one reason—lack
of enough volunteer men to carry
on the larger program needed. In-
terest is high with the bovs.
Scouting has been proven as what
the boys want and as a program,
that provides something needed.
There are 550,000 Boy Scouts in
the nation today."
Norris said "the only trouble is
that it is volunteer work and men
are prone to put off getting in the
harness to help in whatever way
they can. If a man wants to do it
bad enough, he will find the time.
And 1 believe if he stops to think
how vitally important this is, he
will want to do it."
'I've Voted Today
—Have You?' Will
Be Tuesday Slogan
Sweetwater Kiwanis Club has en-
listed 24 members for two hours
duty each to help with the "get-
out-the-vote" campaign Tuesday',
Nov. 4.
Lapel buttons saying "I have
voted today—have you" will be dis-
tributed at the two local polling
places by Kiwanians.
Those who have volunteered for
this work are: Bill Yorke, Wayne
McNeil, R. C. Dill, the llev. It. G.
Purrington, Sam Shaw, "Goldie"
Boyer, J. L. Haney, John B. Dar-
nell Sr., B. F. Gee, Margel Wil-
liams, Maurice Richards, Ray-
mond Kerr, the Rev. R. I'-. Bow-
den, Wayne Patten, Howard Milli-
gan, R. E. Connelley, Hoy DeBusk,
J. O. McKenzie. Horace Bartlett,

ably others.

mander W. R. Penick announced

B&PW Club Works
For Citation On
100 Percent Vote

sional Women's club has stressed
the importance of "everyone vote
as you please but vote" this year,
the city's citizenship committees
said Saturday.
The club is making an all-out
effort to earn a citation from the
national federation of B&PW Clubs
by making a record of every club
member voting on Nov. 4.
Bicycles Without
Lights Dangerous
Police Chief J. E. McCoy said
Saturday that a number of per-
sons have complained about bicy-
cles in traffic without lights or re-
flectors.
"While we do not have an ordi-
nance forbidding this specific
thing," the chief said, "everyone
surely realizes the extreme danger
of riding on a bicycle after night
without lights or good reflectors
on the wheels."
He said that he believed par-
ents would, after giving this mat-
ter a little thought, help provide
the needed lights or reflectors in
the interest of their children's
safety.

Bolivia Warns U. S.
About Interference
LA PAZ, Bolivia. Nov. 1—UP—
President Victor Paz Estenssoro
has warned the United States not
to interfere in Bolivia's nationali-
zation of the country's rich tin
mines, including the American-
controlled patino mines.
Paz Estenssoro said it would be
an "error" for the United States
to "assume an attitude which
might be interpreted as protection'
for the Patino, Aramayo and Hoch-
schild firms, which were taken
over by the government.
The president asked other Amer-
ican nations to support his govern-
i ment's nationalization action which
he said opened the way out of
| "near economic bankruptcy" for
I Bolivia. Bolivia took over the
| three mining firms Friday.

-THE GREATEST STORY EVER FILMED —
An announcement of importance to moviegoers of both
the older and younger generations came today from
The Management, of the Kit/ Theatre, who has made
arrangements fer a showing of (he original classic
(talking version) 'Ten Night In A Barroom" which
will open a two-day engagement in Sweetwater on
Tuesday and Wednesday. "Ten Nights In A Barroom"
by Timothy Shap Arthur was first published in 1854,
was a hest seller for dccades and was made into a stage,
stock and tent show play that included the song begin-
ning, "I* ather, de;.r father, come home with me now".
''Ten nights" was the only stage play that could draw
larger crowds than "Uncle Tom's Cabin". The stage
play longevity is still unequaled. The play ran three
(■{) years in New York and for many years toured the
cities of the United States, Canada, Europe, and Aus-
tralia. Just recently, under the will of the late Samuel
Schoonover, a temperance-minded school teacher,
Stroudshurg s Pa., schools were to receive $25,000 on
condition that they always keep on school library
shelves 10 copies of the famed novel "Ten Nights In A
Barroom". "Ten Nights" went out of print, but when
Stroudsburg's need became known, hundreds of offers
to sell copies, often at high prices, had to be politely
refused. The schools did not have to buy any. They
had been given.; more than 7:1 volumes from 00 edi-
tions.
Faithfully based on (he immortal story by Timothy
Shay Arthur "Ten Nights In A Barroom" remains a
milestone as one of the greatest human interest motion
pictures ever filmed.
Those of (lie new generations, who have never had
an opportunity to witness the picture or play, can now
sec the talking version in motion picture.
