been handled by the scouts OF Will

we're taken from the school. This is
the first time that the President OF the
United States has made a direct APP
peal to the scouts Of the entire coun-
try for assistance. The results Of the
nrst days work was 81 .227, 400 which
covered a report from sc cities, towns
and villages. covering over 100000 in
dividual subscribers. From tho head
quarters staff. New York, 147 different
subscriptions have been secured. re-
