SCOUT DRIVE:
| MORE WEEK
More Donations Are Reported
to MISUNDERSTANDING to
Fill Quota


Since the reports Of the canvassers
covering the city in the endeavor to
raise $4,000 for Boy Scout activities
have been held back this week, and
also because the solicitors in the Boy
Scout Week drive did not care to in
terfere in the factories with those COL
lecting money for the Salvation Army
campaign this week. it was decided
this morning to grant a continuation
of the scout drive, having it officially
terminate a week from tonight. in
stead as was formerly intended Of
tonight.
The headquarters in the Board of
Trade building will be kept open
throughout next week up to the hour
of every night so as to allow ample
time for the team captains and work
ers to make complete reports of
money secured during each day. 1t

mittee which has supervision of the
drive, that all participants and heads
of teams, bring in returns to head
quarters every night of the money
gained throughout the day, so that it
may be ascertained just how much
toward the $4,000 goal set for attain
ment, has been secured.
quarters that not half the prescribed
quota allotted Perth Amboy by the
National Citizens Committee, headed
by William G.. McAdoo, has been pro-
cured. Confidence is still expressed,
however, by the campaigners that the
necsary money to keep scouting here
up to a high standard will be forth
coming before next week comes to a
conclusion, as many of the teams have
not even started yet to cover their
districts in the house to house can
vass, thus many people who might
have contributed being missed.
The scout demonstration camp at
Madison avenue and Gordon street,
which has aroused interest during the
week, will also be conducted next
week If present plans of the executive
are carried out. The boys, however,
will lnot be there all day. since some
