Boom |n Newsprint ^
Remember when many folks
were predicting that radio would
put the newspapers out of busl-
ness? Or when, just" a few years
ago, the 8ame people were saying
that television would make news-
papers obsolete?
Thosejoriecasters will need some
alibis after noting the latest pro-
duction and use figures, for news-
print. Although the production of
newsprint in North America has
been higher than ever in recent
months, supplies on hand have' di-
minished, threatening shortages In
some places. That is because news-
papers have been using more pa-
per than at any time in history.
The figures show that more peo-f
pie want to read. news, even
though many of them hav^ heard

The American contingent, re-
presenting the finest traditions in
Scouting in the United States is
expected to bring back to units,
sponsoring institutions, and local
Boy Scout councils the values
gained from this world scout
jamboVee. .
In 1927, the late Lord Baden-
Powell of Gilwell, founder of
Scouting, S£fid: "The world will
never wipe out war until it
teaches international friendship
to its children. Until this takes
place all the disarmament con-
ferences and League of Nations
in the world cannot bring about
peace".
"Every four years we Scouts
hold an international jamboree,
when the boys from every coun-
try get together, rub shoulders,
and find out that they are all
built about like the other fel-
low. This I think is one of the
most important things we do."
