BIG DRIVE FOR
BOY SCOUTS
FUNDS STARTS
IN MORNING

Everyone in this town is going
to be given an opportunity tomor-
row to contribute something toward
the fund to carry on Boy Scout
work. Committees have been organ
lied and pretty nearly everyone in
town is going to be a worker in the
cause.
The first committee will be sent
out from Boy Scout headquarters
in The Winslow Mail building at
s o'clock. A small prescribed area
will be covered and the committee
will then report back to headquar-
ters, where lists will be checked
all through the day. AS soon as
the first committee is fairly started
the second will be sent on it's way,
and then the third, the fourth, and
so on, until all the committees are
out.
No time will be lost The ways
are creased for the committees to
cover the. ground in the shortest
possible time, and the aim is to Sc
cure Winslow's quota of the fund
needed by the Grand Canyon coun-
Gil of the Boy Scouts of America
long before the sun goes down to-
morrow evening. The quota for
the Winslow district is $1,000-not
a large sum, nor an amount that
would be missed if it were sent out
of the city entirely, which it will
not be. 1t will remain at home to
work and do good for all the boys
of the city, to. whose use it will be
dedicated.
Last Monday evening a meeting
of the executive committee of the
Winslow district was held in the
store room of Homer Vaughn,
chairman. The members of the
executive council present were r.
NJ. Bruchman, Charles Daze, Claude
Quebedeaux, Charles Dare, Sam
Proctor, A. R. Hipkoe, g. C. Gilpin,
Homer Vaughn, George Jackson
Charles P. Mason and Scout Execu-
tive Charles Mccormick.
Plans for the drive were dis
cussed and Chalres Dare, manager
of the United Bank and Trust COM
pany, elected chairman of the fl
nancial committee.
The names of subcommittee
were suggested, and it was first
decided to put on the drive next
Monday, with committees repre-
sentative of the various lodges,
businesses, clubs and orders to so
licit funds throughout the week.
AT a second meeting in the city
hall Wednesday evening the first
plans were abandoned and it was
decided to put on a more intensive
drive and clean the matter up en-
tirely in one day, if possible, and
opinion seemed to be unanimous
that with a tight organization and
close cooperation in the work,
more than the quota will be Sc
cured before tomorrow night.
A campaign committee was
named by Chairman Dare, consist
ing of himself, E. G. Gilpin and
Sam Proctor, assisted by Executive
Mccormick, to have charge OF the
scout headquarters that day. The
Headquarters committee will have
full charge of the details of the
drive, and will receive the co-opera-
ton not only of the several COM
mittee members, but the many citi-
zens interested in boys work, the
fathers and mothers of Boy Scouts,
and possibly a large number OF
high school girls who may take an
active part in the drive.
Full publicity will be given to
the results obtained all through
the day, and as fast as contribu-
tions are turned into headquarters,
thermometer in front of The
| Mail will be boosted up corre-
spending amount.
For the benefit of those whom the
committees may fail to call upon,
or have no opportunity to see, a
coupon is printed on this page.
Just fill in with pen, pencil or
brush on the dotted line the
amount you feel you can contribute
to this worthy cause.
Most everyone knows what
scouting means to the community

training has to offer Regarding
