Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. So spoke a patriot some two hundred years ago. Today the Chickasaw Council is sponsoring a one day patriotic event with the theme: Scouting On Display; Our Country Every Day--Open to every Pack, Troop, and Explorer unit to participate. The event will take place at Tom Lee Park, down town Memphis on the majestic Mississippi River. Each unit that pre-registers will be a warded a free patch to every Scout and Scouter. There will be aproximately sixty (60) booths that are thirty (30) feet in length and twenty-five (25) feet in depth available to Showcase Scouting and our country's patriotic theme. There is space on the Jamboree Pre-Registration Form for a description of your unit project. These forms may be picked ttp and received at the · Scout . Office in the Jamboree folder no later then June 20, 1980 for review and selection on a first come first serve basis. Consider the richness and variety of the Scouting Program · for your ideal of Scouting interest. Some ideas could be a Philmont Camper display or the Scout Uniform complete with patch and neckerchief and slide collections. The Order of the Arrow could be a theme or what is a Webelos anyway and what do · they do and how did they get there? Don't forget any part of the Scout Law, Motto, or Slogan as a theme. Scout advancement in rank or a merit badge may serve to answer the question: What can my unit do? Don't forget special Scouting activities such as Cub Scout Handicrafts or tote'n chip axmanship. ·The conservation theme is strongly suggested not to mention our two hundred y<~urH of locnl, Htnte, und n a tional history. Use your imagination and ingenuity. All questions concerning organizetion or program may be forwarded to Hal Foster, Program Chairman; or John Newton, Communication Chairman, 7619222 from 6 P.M. to 7 P.M. any Sunday evening in May or June. There will also be free hot dogs and cokes for pre-registered units at noon after the booths are set up that Friday, July fourth from 8 A.M. till noon. After lunch the booths must be manned at all times and scheduled so the · Scouts may participate in the two game areas available. Clean up and departure is scheduled by 8 P.M. that same day. Let's come out to our country's 204th birthday and do ourselves a Good Turn in the process.

Umer Goodman, founder of the Order of the Arrow, died March 13 at the age of 92. Dr. Goodman founded the Order in the summer of 1915 while serving as a Camp Director of the Philadelphia Council, and he became a Professional Scouter in Philadelphia in that same year. He was appointed the Scout Executive of the Chicago Area Council in 1927 and held that position until 1931, when he joined the National Council Staff. It was during his service in Chicago that he wrote a tune that we know as the "Owasippe Hymn." Dr. Goodman retired from an outstanding Scouting career and has lived in Florida since that time. In recent years Dr. Goodman h 'as had to limit his activities somewhat and he usually· attends only the National Conference and other special occasions. Dr. Goodman was the featured Speaker at the December 28, 1978 Annual Owasippe Lodge, Order of the Arrow banquet. Dr. Goodman was a legend in his own time and will be sorely missed by Scouting.
