ing OF the national council, and also
tRat The Scout organization may be
vital factor in this community.
l. Weaver M. Marr, an enthusiastic
boy yorker and one of the leaders in
Fh1s project, said this morning that
we earnestly plead for the unani-
nous support of churches of this CITY
and Various clubs, for this reorgsni-
zatlon must he a success He said |!
that since there is no Y. M. C. A. or |
any other organization for boys in
this city, it is urgent that High Point
furnish some other immediate activity
for boys:
lie gave some very interesting fig
ures.s concerning the boy population of
High Point. The last census shows
that there are 661 boys in this city OF
Scout age, that is between IL and 18
years; there are over 1,1O0 between
eight and 18 years while 25O boys
beco4les OF Scout age every year. This
shows the dire need of some interest
ing activity for the young male popula-
tion of the Furniture City
Mr.. Mari further stated he hoped
BY January the first to have sutfi-
cient leaders for the organization of
i've troops. He believes that the
Boys Of High Point will be only too
slad to boost the reorganization, if |
,n1y the men will volunteer for the RI
erviee Of scoutmasters.
The Scout council will be elected |
IS stson as possible, in order that |
hings may be rushed before spring.
This council will be composed of not
ess than ten members. It's duty |
hall be to elect a Scout commissioner,
which office A. T. Wishart now holds,
nd to supervise generally the work
f the Boy Scouts of High Point.
