 The local Scouts are also conduct ing an active campaign for the suc- cess of the sale. With an honor medal promised for the sale of ten bonds, every local Scout is bent on reaching this goal. Bond literature is being distributed and a canvass of every house is being made. Several Scouts are said to have already won a medal. Henry Mildrum, 13 years old, son of MT. and Mrs. Ernest W. Mildrum of East Berlin, proved that he is closely to a successful business career, by following on the heels of his father disposing of $1,100 worth of bonds and winning a Scout medal.

It is believed by the committee that bet ter results can be secured by calling on the prospective purchasers person. ally than by calling meeting.
