not now exist.
All captains Of the Kiwanis and
Rotary club teams, who are soliciting
subscriptions for this drive, all the
representatives, Of the various churches
and the scoulmasters who are serving
as team captains are urgently requested
10 attend the meeting tomorrow night
and make reports of the amounts OF

If The Boy Scouts themselves could
have served as solicitors to receive

before this for there are few who
could refuse TO give financial aid 10
the manly little chaps 4 ruling Of the
national and local council, however,
prohibits The boys from taking sub
scriplons and for this reason IL has
been up to their adult friends TO do
this work.
The campaign was to have ended on
Saturday last but The workers were
unable to complete the raising Of the
fund by that time so IL was extended
few days longer to give everyone the
opportunity 10 subscribe.
10 is not hard 10 see why the Boy
Scout movement deserves the financial
support Of the public when instances
Of the good turns they are constantly
doing for the community are pointed

that the workers D those countries
