BOY SCOUTS HERE AND ELSEWHERE. Last Saturday afternoon, folks who were interested, saw the several troups of Patton Boy Scouts on parade. and to the town in which it is published. Many folks on the outside can instantly ascertain the progressiveness of a town by the appearance of its news- paper. We hope that the Courier will give them a good impression of Patton. It is for our advertisiers and read- ers to judge, and the advertisers can help us, themselves and the town by recognizing and realizing that never before in the history of Patton have they been offered the flacilities for thorough advertising ‘coverage in this community, with so little trouble and expense, as the Courier now opens to them. ee ————————— TIME IN ITS PROGRESS, ETC. In glancing over some of the early files of the Patton Courier, this week, we noted with amusement, that back ni 1889 Bicycles were considered as speedy and dangerous instruments of Pennsylvania state legislature: “Sec. 1. Be it enacted, etc., bicycles, tricycles and all vehicles pro- in rally. We feel that every last parent|ejjeq by hand or foot, and all per- who saw his or her boy in that rally,|sons py witom bicycles, tricycles, and could not help but have a feeling of | sch other vehicles are used, ridden or justifiable pride in their offsprings.

With our present day heavy and No better way to keep the boy of [speedy automobile traffic, combined today “clean and pure”, to make a good citizen and man of him is offer- ed than membership in the Boy Scouts of America. Frank Brown and the other scoutmasters who have so faith- fully sponsored and instructed the Patton Boy Scouts have been instru- mental in bringnig to our community a much needed movement. After all, it is not the spirit of prohibitory laws that elimiates the criminal; it is the spirit of education in the way of right living that does it. This the Boy Scout movement is and has been doing. We feel, that not one single Patton Boy Scout will ever regret his member- ship in that organization as time goes on. He will likely boast of it as a matter to be proud of. The best fea- ture of all in the Boy Scouts is that it recognizes no class or creed, but endeavors to make good Americans of all its body. The Patton Boy Scouts have been an active organization, and déspite the several years that it has functioned, interest now is just as great and great- er than it was at the time the move- ment was started. Of course, the Boy Scouts of Patton would long since have passed had it not been for the sterling and stead- fast “push” behind it by a very few local citizens who themselves are of the calibre that inspires the growing, grasping boy looking for the better things in life, rather than the ques- tionable. The trouble is, too few of us in Patton are behind the movement in interest to the extent we should be. The entire community should ma- terially rather than passively be with a net work of improved, graded and smooth highways, the above law causes a smile, in our modern day. Folks back in 1889, saw tremendous dangers to life and limb arising from the reckless speeder on a bicycle. Editorial caution in the early nine- ties against the cycles was at high point. But with all our progress, with all our mastery of speedy travel by means of ‘the present day automobile, far greater caution should be advocated by everyone today to abolish the reck- less automobile driver from the high- way. During the past week, perhaps a score of automobile acidents has happened in Northern Cambria county alone,and many folks were seriously hurt in them, Nine times out of ten these accidents happen because some- one involved in the accident fails to observe the law of safety, Usually it is the man who passes another car at a point in the road where he is unable to ascertain whether or not another vehicle} is approaching, resulting in a wreck in which usually two inna- cent, law abiding parties are concern- ed. Then, too, we have the drunken driver—and he is the greatest menace of all on the road. The automobile laws in the State of Pennsylvania are strict, and are meant to cover in- fringements in both of the above cases. However, enforcement to the letter is a problem, for police cannot be every- where on the road, but out of it all, sooner or later, Pennsylvania will en- act meang to remove these human staunch supporters of the Boy Scouts. |is done, the better.

The Patton Courier now boasts of a circulation in our home community that amounts virtually to a complete coverage of the field that any adver- tiser in our community desires to reach. Advertising stimulates business. Re- gularity in advertising keeps the suc- cessful merchandiser before the public all the time. Primarily the Patton Courier has gone to the trouble of establishing a subscription list that will amply just- ify its claims as a thorough adver- tising medium, and it will endeavor to create and hold a reader interest in its news columns to make its adver- tising columns all the more attractive. But we have done one thing in establishing a bigger circulation, and in making a bigger and better news- that this great country of ours, insti- tuted that all men are free, ete., would soon be “bone dry.” Legislation by the spirit of the Vol- stead act meant to have us so, and now the Wets accuse the Drys of refus- ing to listen or to sense the trend of public sentiment. The United States has never been dry from a social angle at any time since the Volstead Act became law. It is just as wet now in Pennsylvania and other states of the Union as it was before the age of Prohibition. Sometimes, we are inclined to believe that conditions are worse now than they were in the day of the high lic- ense saloon—bad as they were—and with the disrespect of the saloon- keepers being greatly responsible for the edict of Congress brought us an apparantly far greater evil in the per- sons of the criminal bootlegger, the illicit manfacturer, of evil-affecting alcoholic concoctions, the high-jacker, and the millions of ultimate consumers. After all it is the consumer who is responsible for all of it. If there were no customers to pay high prices for “alcoholic inspirations there soon travel by many people, and that the| The Literary Digest poll is the begin- cyclists, in order to protect their rights ning of a trend of sentiment by law- had the following bill passed by the]abiding people that cannot be over- That | result with explanatory high-sounding manaces to life and limb and property| for Philadelphia where she expects to from the highways, and the sooner it Medical and surgical science are fast|spent the week end with her brother, discovering methods to stamp out some | Charles Bowman, driver.}of Smoke Run visited with relatives would be no “inspiration” for sale. Why are we a nation of hypocrites” Why don't we face the issue as it is apparant to all of us? Why do we have laws that so many of us disre- gard entirely? Why does a very, very questionable majority try to prohibit what the remginder of the citizens of the United States want? And why do we have those in office who speak “dry” and drink“wet”? Prohibition, at least in Cambria county, Pennsylvania, has given us the youthful drunkard, and more than that it seems to have given us both the boy and the girl drunkard. If some of the good folks most vitally interested in Prohibition, would open their eyes and see the utter loss of respect that some of our boys and girls have.at dances and parties held nightly in Cambria county alone, they might, if they are fair to theinselves, ‘seek some other solution to the evil. We hold no brief for the old high- license saloon. It was an evil, too, but it was an evil of far less import than the conditions in this section, today. looked. “Drys” cannot camuflage its words. We hold no support for the Prohibi- tion Amendment—neither do we uphold the Saloon of pre-prohibition times. Out of it all, however, we believe that sooner or later, there will develop some half-way arrangement for the sale of liquor, regulated directly by the govern- ment. Likewise, to our mind, the claims of the “Drys” that eventually the “Volstead” act will be rigidly en- forced, is the “bunk.” Our country is inhabited by too many folks who talk “dry” but don’t act that way in their habits. Prohibition talkers should be total abstainers. If all of us became | te-totallers, there might be some hope for the ultimate realization of Vol- steadism. In the meantime, why kid ourselves.
