CAMPAIG TO RAISE BOY
SCOUT BUDGET IS GIVEil
ADDED IMPETUS TUESDAY

With the members of the Kiwanis
and Rotary clubs, organizations that
have brought to a successful termi-
nation everything they have ver-at-
tempted. getting solidly behind the
movement. the campaign for the Boy
Scouts took on an added impetus yes
terday. As reports came in from the
workers who had been assigned to
the drive by the two clubs it was in
creasingly apparent, according to
those in charge of the campaign that
the full quota of Maricopa county is
almost an assured fact.
In addition to the workers who
were in the field Monday, more than
20 others reported at the Y. M. c. A.
yesterday morning and before eve
ming it was certain that the increased
force had achieved results. All the
workers mot at luncheon at noon at
the Y NJ. c. A, where their assign
ments were re-arranged and the plan
of campaign for the remaining hours
of the drive worked out.
The attention of workers is direct
ed to these luncheons for a partic-
ular purpose. The luncheons provide
the only feasible method whereby the
drive can be kept CO. ordinated thing
At these noon day meetings the work
ers may exchange experiences. check
up on the work that has been done
during the preceding "a hours, and
new assignments given out in time
to give the workers an opportunity
to strike while the iron is hot. For
these reasons everyone interested in
the campaign is urged to adttend the
lupcheons and to receive the inspira-
ton whic hcomes from those gath
erings.
In checking The results of the two
days of the drive which were ended
last evening it was found that about
one-half of The workers have report
ed to the directors and that these
have interviewed about one-half of
/. the prospects who had been assigned
to them. This means that only one
quarter of the total number of pros
poets indexed by the directors have
been interviewed. and gives the most
cogent reason who those who are in
terested in the Boy Scout movement
would give their services to the cam
paign today.
Not enough workers are reporting
to carry the drive along according
to schedule, the difficulty being not
the work of getting contributions, but
the impossibility of calling upon the
prospects assigned to the various
campaigners in the time which has
been allotted to them.
While there is no doubt of the sue
cess of the campaign in the minds
of those connected with it,, they are
resolved, it was announced yesterday
to bring the drive to a successful end
without regard to the time taken
and for this purpose they are deter
mined TO continue the campaign as
long as is necessary. The budget de-
mands of the organization are inn
perative and there can be no cessa-
ton of effort on the part of workers
or directors until the fun amoun
needed has ben collected. The diff
ficulty, as was outlined in the fore
| going paragraphs, is not one of in
terest on the par of the people o.
| the city, but of time, and if it is nee.
essary to extend he time of the driv,
| this will be done without hesitation
A continuance of the drive, how
| ever, will hardly be necessary, 1t Il
! thought. The workers are announc
ing that the justice of the demand

l tecting now the citizenship of tn
