The central highway linking
Lima with several Andean

government for at least a week.
A total of 32 landslides were
reported since Feb. 23.

WASHINGTON (UPr - Boy
Scout leaders in this country
presumably are keeping a close
watch on the situation in
Santiago. Chile, where a rebel
faction recently overthrew the
scoutmaster.
“Be prepared” is the Boy
Scout motto. And that goes for
scoutmasters as well.
Although there has never been
a major scout uprising in the
United States, that doesn’t
ne essarily mean it can’t
happen here.
The Santiago rebellion was
sparked by militants who seized
scout headquarters to make it
more responsive "to the needs
of the nation’s youths."
I happen to know there also
are some militants in the Boy
Scouts of America. In fact, one
of them lives in my neighbor-
hood.
