                        TRIBUTE TO JAMES ASHMORE

                                 ______


                          HON. DAVID E. BONIOR

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 1, 1994

  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mr. James 
Ashmore. Mr. Ashmore is a fifth grade teacher who has been continuously 
active in the Boy Scouts of America since 1948. He was honored at a 
dinner last evening in recognition of his commitment to Scouting.
  James Ashmore has been involved with scouting for 46 of the Scouts' 
84 years. Brought here from England, Scouting has taught millions of 
young Americans to do their ``best for God and country,'' to ``help 
other people at all times'' and to remain ``morally straight.'' As a 
young Scout, James internalized these values and has passed them on to 
many Scouts in the Clinton Valley Council of the Boy Scouts of America. 
Mr. Ashmore currently serves as an Ojibwa district member at large and 
a merit badge counselor.
  Taking an active role in our community is a responsibility we all 
share but few fulfill. James Ashmore has devoted himself to this task 
as an educator and Scout leader for many years. His dedication and 
professionalism are an inspiration, and I ask my colleagues to join me 
in a salute to Mr. James Ashmore for his efforts as a teacher and 
Scoutmaster.
