But don’t let it bother you. Any embarrassmentwill be on our side. And we’re willing totake the chance.

All you stand to lose is three cents and a halfhour. To gain, a more interesting and helpfulSCOUTING.

What I mean is, you’re No. 1 man on ourBoard of Experts and your opinion is veryimportant to us.

We know that you have one, that you makeup your mind very quickly as you thumb anissue as to whether a page seems to interestyou, whether you’ll read it or keep thumbing.Finally, whether it was worth your time, likelyto help you in your Scouting work.

We can’t talk with you personally about yourideas, and a long questionnaire would probablysend you scooting, so here’s a plan to do it theeasy way. It may look sketchy to you, but itwill really help us a lot.

Here’s how it works—when you have finishedreading this issue—that is, all of it youfeel the urge to read—turn back to this pageand use the contents column as your surveyblank. Put checks opposite each article in thecolumns that best describe your reaction. Thenwrite any comment you wish to add in thatsmall space at the bottom, note your Scoutingposition, cut off the Contents strip on the dottedline, slip it into an envelope and mail to us.

I hope we will hear from you. It’ll be a realGood Turn to all your fellow Scouters.
