JANUARY, 1958 Boy Scouts Urged To Work For Textile Merit Badge In choosing ik which Merit L?v Badges he will work for, a WfY Boy Scout will naturally select subjects which he is interested in. For this reason a program is being started by Scoutmasters Charles Leatherwood and Ellis Huffstetler to urge all Clinton and Lydia Boy Scouts to work lor tne Textile Merit Badge. Even in areas, such as ours, that are predominantly textile, this merit badge has received scanty attention, in M spite of the fact that many ^ textile plants sponsor troops . and have supervisory personnel and others who are active I in Scouting, either as scoutmasters, council officials or i committee members. Clinton and Lydia are justly proud of the Scout troops in their respective communi uus anu in uiuui iu jjiuiuui.tr | interest in the textile merit badge. Superintendents CI. M. Huguley and D. H. Roberts have offered to work with the scoutmasters in the community and to help in any way possible with this project. The require#ments for the textile merit badge are listed in the Boy Scout Handbook. T o o, there is a booklet on textiles in the merit badge series. Any scout, who is interested in work on this merit badge, may obtain one of these booklets from his scoutmaster on request. Perhaps the section of this booklet entitled "Textiles and You" best outlines the rea sons this particular merit badge can be of value: "You are surrounded by < textiles; the Scout uniform you so proudly wear, the tent ' that shelters you on a camping trip, the blanket that I covers you, your clothing, the sturdy pack that carries your equipment'?all these useful things are textiles. "You can travel from Maine I to Alabama and find spinning and weaving mills in every i state. You can visit any largo city from New York to Los * Angeles and find clothing factories in every one. You will find cotton fields from I South Carolina to California growing textile fibers. "Millions of American men and women are making a living in this industry. Some day you mav bo working in it yourself. You don't have to he a worker in textiles, however, to profit by a knowledge of them. You will be buying textiles all your life, and you'll he better satisfied if you know what you are buying." Usher: "How far down do you wish to sit. sir?" Boh: "Why. all the way. Miss ... I'm kind of tired."
