The South African government permits Albert Luthuli to travel to Stockholm for the Nobel Peace Prize, yet its action is seen as tainted by a caveat that he does not truly deserve the award.

Daniel Carter Beard, National Scout Commissioner, arrived in Middletown to speak at the Scouts Annual Banquet at the Elks Temple. Five troops represented, 65 men attended, and W. J. Beck and L. T.
