TWX: Von Nuys 7576 as all of us are tremendously interested in the development of the youngsters who are coming along, and in the way they will turn out as citizens of our country in the future. To me, however, the situation of the underprivileged boy usually from broken homes is of paramount issue and I believe that our clubs in all areas should give serious consideration to them in particular.

The great Scout movement, of course, is doing a wonderful job for thousands of boys, but I wonder if a great number of the underprivileged boys without parents are getting the help they should receive in developing them into fine citizens of the future. Here is one place that Hoo-Hoo clubs fit into the picture and one very great benefit that we can confer on these lads is in working out a program with their school to provide them with an equipped woodshop ancl manual-training instructor so that they can get instruction and training in the working of wood.

I personally think we have the answer in a woodshop projec_t similar to those now being carried on by the Memphis Hoo-Hoo Club in the Boys Town instituti-on in Memphis, and our own splendid LeRoy Boys' Home Wood Shop project at LaVerne.

Our Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club has received wonderful stimulus from this worthy project into which we members have all poured our enthusiastic support, and I pray and hope that these two splendid woodshop projects will be a fine example to our chain of clubs thrbughout the U.S.A. and Canada, and that before many months roll by we shall hear of similar woodshop projects being organized in many places.

I_ had_ _the pleasure of attending Hoo-Hoo Club meetings in- Las legas and Phoenix just a few days ago and the idea of woodshop projects for both of these fine c-lubs seemed to lppeal to them, so are _hoping we shall see action along this line real soon in Nevada and Arizona.

In Hoo-Hoo there's two things I've found in my travels that keep a club together without fail:-

1. The companionship we get from Hoo-Hoo, much strengthened by our mutual interest for, and our common bonds in, the lumber industry, and

2. A dedicated objective through a sound, constructive, pg{poseful club project. Nothing makes a Hoo-Hoo group of brothers closer knit than a good project in which every single member has a vital interest.
