Narrowing World
*Man has come forward some since his poor
showing at the Tower of Babel. Languages
are less of a barrier to him, we found out when
planning the many-tongued "Thank You's" on
page 8. In answer to our question as to how Lux-
embourgers say "Thank You," our informant re-
plied "They speak French." When we asked for
the "native dialect" of Mountain Province, Phil-
ippine Islands, we were told — firmly — "English
is the language of the Philippines."
Clipping
Says the Wisconsin State Journal of Madison,
Wisconsin:
"When Louis Milsted, 14-year-old son of De-
tective Capt. and Mrs. Harry L. Milsted, 410 Stang
St., received his First Class Scout award at a
Court of Honor in Trinity Lutheran Church re-
cently, his dad was called upon to make the pres-
entation.
" 'The only thing,' the Scoutmaster explained
to Milsted, 'is that the badges have not arrived
yet, so you won't be able to pin the actual badge
on your son.'
"With that, Milsted left the church, hurried
home, and dug out of a chest a Scout badge he
had received 28 years ago.
"So when Louis appeared to receive his badge,
his detective father had one to pin on him and the
Court of Honor wasn't held up a minute."
Camp Fees
Because rising costs of maintenance far exceed
the funds available, the Forest Service will ex-
periment on charging camping and picnicking
fees in National Forests beginning this vacation
season.
If you are planning on camping in a National
Forest, be sure your budget includes enough to
cover the following fees, set by the Forest Service:
"Fifty cents per day per car party of not more
than six persons, or $3.00 per week. For parties
of more than six persons, an additional 10 cents
per day per person for all above six."

The Crusade Float pictured above was the grand
prize winner in the Rodeo Parade at Douglas, Ari-
zona. The float was designed by John Salem, of the
Camping Committee of Cochise Council.
Junior Leaders at Philmont
Thirty-two — count 'em, no more and no less —
junior leaders will return to their Councils from
Philmont this August with the grandest training
experience under their belts any junior leader
will see for many a year. A special forty-day
course begins at the famous Scout ranch in New
Mexico on July 14, and after real outdoor Scouting
the Patrol Method way, will wind up with a
buffalo banquet on August 23.
The 32 Scouts will be chosen from applications
submitted by Councils. Each Scout submitted must
be at least fifteen years or older.
Marquette, Zey Are Here!
The spirits of Marquette and Joliet sing out
"Won't You Come With Me Down the Mississippi,"
and four French Rover Scouts have heard their
song and responded.
On May 17, the anniversary of the day Father
Marquette began his voyage in 1673, the Rovers
began canoeing down the Mississippi, retracing
the route of the famed expedition.
