Holy Land's Old hatreds Give Way Before Friendly Code of Bay Scouts That the youth of Palestine --Jew- ish, Moslem and Christian—are for- getting the age-old antagonisms and hatreds of their elders and accepting and living the brotherhood code of the rapidly growing l3oy Scout move- ment, was the statement of Stephen A. Haboush, world traveler, and for- merle a Galilean shepherd, a recent visitor to 'Ottawa. "The Boy Scout movement in Pal- estine is breaking down the religious and racial barriers that have existed, throughout the centuries, and already has eliminated many' bitter prejudices and misunderstandings between Mos- lem, Christian and Jewish boys," the visitor from Palestine, declared. • "When I was a youth, Moslem and Christian boys never thought of greeting one another with a. friendly word. We were enemies,' by virtue bf ancestry and religious beliefs, and when we met it usually was to -fight. "Today, thanksto the Boy Scout movement, boys from Moslem, Jew- ish and Christian homes are meet- ing on a basis of mutual brotherhood and understanding. , Through their - association in Scouting, and instruc- tion in the world brotherhood prin- ciples of the Boy Seouts' !code, . the boys are learning to play the game oflifetogether, and to forget the differences of race and creed." This was true not only in Pales- tine, according to Mr" Haboush, 'but equally amongst the youth of Trans- jordania, Syria and Iraq, and. promi- ses to play a possibly important part in the ultimate solution of the racial "I've thought, lately," he said, "that we were getting together in rather a nice way, you and I, Ellen that we were getting to be friends!

It was a barbaric, staccato measure to, which they danced.' It was passion- ate and bold and full of effrontery, that music; it caught them up into a strange, savage world. Ellen could feel the heat of jungles closing in about her, and the drowsiness of strange unnatural flowers. She was glad when the music stopped on a high quafering note, when Tony led her back to their table. She was glad that the food he had ordered was workingman's food steak and succo- tash and things like that. She needed something commonplace. "You said, once," she remarked ov- er the steak and succotash, "that I was a good cook, Tony, • And. you said it when you'd only eaten one of my fried egg .sandwiches.
