SCOUTS Campaign
TO Be CONTINUED
-
Leaders Consider Few More
Days Necessary to Make
Quota a Certainty.

The campaign for associate members
Of the Boy Scouts OF America is to be
continued In the District of Columbia
for a few days this week. 1T was an
nounced last night by e. B. Eynon.
jr., chairman Of the District commit
tee in charge of the drive.
This has been found necessary in
order to make certain that Washing
ton shall obtain its full quota OF the
l,000.0 900 associate members which the
country has been asked to provide In
order to aid in the further develop
, ment and growth of the scout move
ment.
Accurate Count Impossible.
It was impossible to make an &C
curte estimate of the number OF ap-
plicants for associate membership
here last night, owing to the fact
that many of the committees are stlll
taking applications and had failed to
make reports to the central commit
tee.
In the churches of the city a spe-
cial appeal is to be made today for
applicants for associate membership in
the Boy Scouts.
The District of Columbia has given
its support generously to other
patriotic organizations and move
ments in the last two years. The
Boy Scouts organization IS one OF the
most vitality important to the country
at the present time, it's supporters as
sert, and they believe that the resi-
dents of the capital will respond to
the final appeal to put washington
over the top with it's full quota and
something more.
Division Is Victor.
Division was the victor in the final
field day of the six divisions of the
Boy Scouts of the District Of Colum-
bia yesterday on the Ellipse south of
the White House. This division, which
is from the northeast section of the
city, was in the charge of Deputy
Commissioner Alfred D. Smith. Dtvi-
sion 1. in the charge of Deputy COM
missioner Bell, won second honors.
Troop 10 took first honors of the
various divisions, under the direction
of Scoutmaster Alfred Bowman. Troop
"a was second, with Theodore Thomas
