Editor. The Chronicle:
One of Clinton’s most progressive
citizens the late Mr, John H. Young,

city council.
In order to make a start towards
what Mr. Young had in view, the
Kiwanis club sponsored the building
of a Boy Scout hut on this land; and

Government aid could probably be
secured for this.
2. A fence shbuldlie placed around

ground.
It will be readily seen that the^
above plans call for money. Such a
project is beyond the means of the^

The writer suggests that committees

been begun. '
I We are spending, and rightly so,
millions for the defense of our coun

our first line rof defense is at home,
among our young boys and girls, w’ho

older generation has passed on. The
Boy Scout movement takes these
young people^at an age when they
most need .care and attention in or

right thinking and acting. We have
in our town hundreds of these future
leaders needing such help as the plan
outlined would give them, providing
the whole system of play-grounds
should be put in charge of respon
sible leaders, appointed by city coun

ganizations which we hope will unite

of these young people a generation
