WOODEN AVALANCHE
 HITS BOYS CLUB
Supt. Cooks Novel SCheme-- Did
 t Work? Ask Him

Building contractors who are wor- ried about the lumber question, need have no fears in the future, 1T they go down tQ the Boys club and talk matters over with Superintendent Marshall R. Cook, That official has conceived q plan, which proved fl success last evening far beyond his anticipation.
 Weekly Movies.
 Every Thursday evening the Boys club has a moving picture show. These shows are exceedingly popular and are attended by anywhere from 800 to 500 boys. The shows are not lim- tied to club members but each mem- Der is accorded the privilege of bring a guest. Since the club has a membership Of over l,200 this usually means q large crowd.
 Popular Program.
 One day last week MT. Cook an nounced that every boy who wanted to bring a guest to see last nights show would have to bring some "lum- Der" for the six or eight junior achievement clubs there. He went a step farther an announced program which would appeal to the boy na- ture. Such things as "The War Bon net" an Indian historical picture, fol- lowed by Colonel Nut and the sl0o Bill" and a final session of "Dubs Geography" completed the program.
 Price Within Reach of All.
 The boys waxed enthusiastic. The lumber market became exceedingly active. Most wooden junior achieve nent toys are made from cigar boxes, and local cigar store were besieged in vast numbers for boxes. Early last evening, while MT. Cook was acting in his official capacity as treasurer at a junior achievement council meeting, the boys began piling into the club.
 Each boy brought a guest and both member and guest brought a cigar box to pay his admission. The boxes flowed in, until the man at the door was almost covered by a sea of nico- tine smelling lumber. There were boxes all around. Wherever he looked was pile of cigar boxes, if he as much as moved a foot, cigar boxes filled the vacated spot and he was caught in an avalanche of smoke con tainers.
 Finally in desperation he ordered the boxes into the cellar. There were 400 boys at the show. When Mir. Cook arrived at the club he was directed to the cellar to see the suc- cess of his scheme. Needless to say the junior achievement clubs at the Bows club now have sufficient lumber.
