les for $4,000. The money would be
raised by selling season tickets and
general admissions. Other sugges-
lions will be worked out and presented
to the officials at the August meeting.

greatest stage hit, and Warner Bros.

of the best pictures of the year and
Jolson's latest production. AS Gus,
a colored jockey, AL Jolson plays his
funniest role. "Big Bog" is a comedy
drama of the race-track, favored with
Jolson's songs.
"It is necessary to raise approx
mately $3.50 each year to defray ex-
penses of camp" the scoutmaster
pointed out. Each boy, in past years;
if he is able, pays SIS for the two
weeks outing, but this is not sufi-
cient for all expenses and it is necs
essary that 5000 be raised in some
other manner. 1t is hoped that every
body will respond by attending.
