The safe way is to bring all COM
nunications for the National Office to
the Executive. In fact our National
Headquarters do not wish to have
either Scouts or leaders writing to
them direct All communications are
desired through the local office. This
saves much time and expense. In the
month OF March alone the New York
office was forced TO pay out ;22 ex-

in ordering supplies. etc.
The Executive sends in an order
regularly about the Goth and 5th or
each month. Firing in your wants
and he will attend to them for you.
