County To Be Covered In Campaign for $11, ,000 To Meet Scout Budget For The Coming Year

In s campaign planned to place the Boy Scout work of Maricopa county on g basis sufficiently firm to insure its adequate maintenance and ex- ransion for the coming year. a drive will be started on Monday morning, November 2S, by the Rotary and Xii wanis clubs to raise budget amounting to s11,s50.
 This sum, which is to be raised in three days of a strenuous campaign, is estimated to be necessary to carry out the Scout movement in this county for the next 12 months in a manner in which this great work for the youth of the county should be conducted.
 To make a systematic drive, the county has been divided into two sections. with the Salt river as the dividing line. The quota to be raised on the north side of this line. includ- ing Phoenix, Glendale and Peoria. is ss.o50 That of the south side of the line, including Tempe, Mesa and Chandler. is S3,600.
 Plan Intensive Drive
 Committees from the Kiwanis and Rotary clubs are now engaged in making plans for the short but inten- sive drive on the north side and it Is their aim to exceed the quota for their side. as it has been reported that the south side has nearly raised its quota Under the plans made. it is the intention Of the committee in carrying out the drive not to get large amounts from a few. but to get small amount each from more peo- pie in the county than ever has been secured before in any drive.
 The Boy Scouts is one of the most vital organizations in the county and more people, especially parents, have a greater interest in it than in any other organization. For that reason the committee intends to ask for small amounts from everybody. Every parent in the county should have an interest in this movement, it is urged, for no other organization affects the youth Of the county as does the Boy Scout organization.
 Under the plan of the committee, the north side of the county is to be divided into districts to carry on the drive, with a captain for each dis trict. Each captain will appoint his corps of workers and an intensive campaign will be inaugurated during the three days to raise the quota of sS.o50. Members of the Boy Scouts will lend their assistance to the drive but the main work of the drive will be done by the men.
 One Council In County
 It was intended at first in reor- Eanizing the Boy Scout program in Maricopa county, to have two sepa- rate councils, one on the north side and one on the south side but after considering the matter it was finally decided to have but one large coun- cil in the county. This council is to be called the Roosevelt Council. Boy Scouts of America, for Mari copa county, and officers for the council will be elected in the next two weeks
 After deciding to have but one large council. it was seen that funds would be needed to carry out the pro- gram of the Boy Scout movement in the county if the best work is to be accomplished. A meeting was held for the purpose of discussing the financial needs of the movement and was attended by 20 Boy Scout en- thusiasts in the county. A financial committee consisting of Dwight B. Heard. Ben Rice and Frank DeSouza was appointed at this meeting to take charge of the raising of the funds.
 After talking over several plans. a decision was reached that the best work would be accomplished for the Boy Scout movement if the matter Of financing the Scout program IS turned over to the Kiwanis and the Rotary clubs to enlist such support as is needed by the Roosevelt coun- cil. It was felt that these two CIVIC organizations can carry on the work better than a citizen committee and more interest will be enlisted for the aid of the Scouts through these or ganizations.
 Club Committees Appointed
 The two organizations agreed to carry out the plan and to see to the financing of the Scout movement, and to that end, each appointed a committee from their members to take the steps necessary to raise the s11,65 needed for. the movement in this county. Prior to turning the matter of financial needs over to the kiwanis and Rotary clubs, a budget for the remainder of the year 1921 and for the year 1922 was made and a definite amount placed as the needs of the Roosevelt Council. The bud get extends to January 1, 1923
 Under this budget the expenditure of the s11.650 has been divided as fol-
