Tommy was ready to do his bit for his

discovered that he was afflicted with

Schiff first tried to enlist in the army

PHOENIX WANTS OUR
 BOYS ON THE FARMS
CFrom Wednesdays Daily.) )


 Phoenix wants 100 Prescott boys of high school age to work in the food battalion which is helping the ranchers of the Salt River valley take care of extra acreage, in order to in crease food production. The modest request was made in the form of a letter to Scout Executive Hoogc- straat
 It will be recalled that recently, Prescott Boy Scouts put in 3O-acre ranch, devoted to the raising of beans and potatoes, and now have on its way to success, project that will probably add more to the available food supply of Arizona than all the boys the Phoenix food battalion can raise. Prescott invited the Phoenix boys of Boy Scout age to come mp and join in the Summer camp. At the same time, the Phoenix Rotary Club was planning to get 100 high school boys together in Phoenix, get them equipped for camp life and farm them out to the ranchers in squads. Because they were interested in this proposition, they turned down the Prescott invitation, which was not intended to bring any high school boys north, but was directed to the younger lads. Now, according to this letter, we want 100 older boys from Prescott" In the same letter, it is noted that a lot of Phoenix boys, tired of the excessive heat, are asking ii they can't come to Prescott for the Summer under the scout camp plan And the letter goes on naively to ask, Are you establishing a scout camp in Prescott this year."
