is also distinctly stated that no So
licitations which are made prior to
Saturday, April 81, shall he counted
40 lS Wv hi inh or n
be awarded the Boy Scouts.
? Information has come to me and
am very glad to say in compara-
lively few cases, that this rule has
been violated by some of the Boy
Scouts and that they have been So
Letting prospects and that they have
either persuaded their relatives or
have tacit understanding with them
that their subscriptions shall be held.
In one case l understand that a Boy
Scout already has subscriptions to
the amount of $2,700. Remember,
Boy Scouts, that you are on your
honor as a Scout to live up to the
rules of this game and, therefore,
call upon all those Boy Scouts who
have already taken subscriptions TO
turn those subscriptions over to-
Scout Headquarters in the Calder
Building at once in order that they
may be given to the members Of
the Third Liberty Loan committee
of Harrisburg who hold cards for
the prospects who have been signed"
