SUPPORT HEREsN
FOR BOY SCOUTS
Over S4O0 Already Collected
to Give Boys Good Time in
Camp This Summer.

With the public appeal for funds
to send local boy scouts to camp this
summer. only two days old, already
s436 has been received at headquar-
ters, enabling forty scouts to go to
Bear Mountain for n week orr
twenty boys for two weeks. The
state of the councils Golfers being
so low. the soliciting of support from
the community was decided upon as
the only way in which the scouts
might be sent to camp this year. ThE
unemployment. situation. also wouH
prevent many of the boys from at
tending camp. who, in normal times
might pay for their W vacations
but the cooperation of the CONF
munity predicts two weeks of good
times for every scout in the council
who wishes to attend but who is n.
nancially handicapped.
The Bear Mountain camp which IS
one of the finest in the country
charges ten dollars a week for each
boy and it is thought that people
here will realize that their money -
wei, spent if used for the education
and health of the boy.
