COVER: Playing First Base, by Bill White. Rafting a Wild River, Page 19.

THIS MONTH'S HIGHLIGHTS: Our authors, artists and photographers have been as busy as a swarm of bees turning out a honey of a May issue. . . . One of them, Norman Lerner, packed camera and notebook to Idaho to get the facts for the second of BL's Adventures in Scouting series. After a wonderful week with a great group of guys, he returned with marvelous memories of rafting On the Middle Fork, which start on page 19. Writer Ray Wood didn't have to globe-trot to get his facts for the World's Fair Service Corps, page 24. He simply went to the fair and let the world come to him-and The Wonderful World of Scouting pavillion, where service with a smile is performed by Scouts in red jackets. . . . Bill White also performs his service with a smile- and a style that is unmatched by any other first baseman in the National League. The Golden Glove award winner of the world champion St. Louis Cardinals really digs into Playing First Base, with an assist by writer Ray Robinson, opening on page 26. . . . Maytime is also fishing time. And BL's right in season with a study of the most respected fisherman who ever lived: Izaak Walton. Elizabeth Sturz does the telling on page 33. . . . Author Carl Henry Rathjen describes the fish's side of the story in Sockeye. From page 30 on you'll be swept along by the incredible battle of a salmon fighting obstacles threatening his journey to the spawning grounds. . . . After that you'll want to read how a human survives against all odds. In Be Brave, My Son, on page 34, Fred Grove puts you in the moccasins of a Comanche boy who escapes his soldier captors only to face even greater danger of hunger, thirst, loneliness and the fear of recapture, which test every ounce of his en- durance and courage. . . . Fire is yet another danger confronting man, and in Ladderman, page 22, author Howard Brier tells a thrilling tale of the fires that rage in buildings-and in the men who fight them. Until the blazing conclusion, you'll be guessing who wins the conflict between an old-time smoke eater and a young science-minded fire engineer. . . . OK guys, happy reading till we see you in June.

Later this month the CBS-TV Lassie show will feature a patrol at Boy Scouts accompanying the heroic collie on a lifesaving expedition. The date will be May 16, so keep your eyes peeled for a local listing.
