Feted For Work To
Assist Boys

HARLINGEN, Aug. 3.-Charles
+. Perry, who will be honored by Boy
Scouts Of the Valley at Camp Perry
near Rio Hondo Sunday, has become
widely known for his intense interest
in boys and their welfare. 1t may be

At the age Of 20 he left the ranch
located in what is now known as

gen.
Here is what a book OF historical

He has been a constructive apoS-
tie Of civic and industrial develop
ment and progress in the Valley. He
has been associated with a number
Of business enterprises, largely in
connection with real estate develop
ment. His wonderful orange grove
development comprises of oranges
and grapefruit and what he has
Done has added UNNECESSARILY tc the
values that attract a constantly in
creaSing stream OF colonists into
this rich and favored section.
MI. Perry possesses a public spirit
that has repeatedly been exemplified
whenever any matter Of general
value to the community was at stake.
A few years ago, when he read the
published statement that the Valley
had not offered to donate a site
for an agricultural experiment sta
ton he Immediately responded with
an offer Of a hundred acres near
Harlingen.
Mr.. Perry's interest extends not
only to material DEVELOPMENT but to
the special welfare of the Valley peo-
pc. He has been a supporter CT that
wonderful organization. the Boy
Scouts. and in addition to support
ing the work by his personal in
1luence and by routine contributions
he gave special evidence of his deem
interest when he donated 10 acres
OF valuable land located on banks or
the Arroyo Colorado Just below Rio
Hondo as a site for a Boy Scout
camp. This land was decided TO the
four county judges CT Cameron. Will
lacy, Hldalgo and Starr counties
and their successors to be held in
trust for the use and benefit only Of
The Boy Scouts OF these counties.
1t was a we'll deserved compliment
and mark Of appreciation that the
camp was named after the donor.
Since the site was decided. a splen-
did clubhouse built by subscriptions
and l2rgely through the efforts Of
Mr.. Perry. has been erected. This is
enc CT the finest and most complete
cams CT the kind anywhere in the
SOUTH
The book also tells OF Mr.. Perry,s
handicraft. he has devoted recent
years TO his favorite hobby of carv-
ing and many articles he has carved
adorn his home. Huge mahogany
tables and chairs are among the
items but mere recently Mr.. Perry
has turned his attention to carving
statutes Of men on horseback. in
Guiding a remarkable likeness Of the
late Lon c. Hill.
The Perry family has been In
Texas for more than 80 years. Char
les was born near Buffalo Gap in
Nolan county in 1880. sen Of Frank
and Martha Ann Gregg Perry.
Frank Perry was brought to Texas

ITALY STILL WANTS

eminent spokesman said Saturday
night.
He asserted the hopes Of the TIA
lians that their country's needs In

places no great Importance "on the
work Of the council Of the League
of Nations" although the solution
OF the Italo- Ethiopian dispute ten
tatively reached st Geneva might
be regarded as q diplomftc victory
for Italy"
The reservation made at Geneva
by Baron Pompeo Oloisi. Italian
delegate. concerning the competence
Of the league to discuss fundament-
ais Of the affair between Italy and
Ethiopia. was made because ITALY
has discharged every obligation to
the league whereas Ethiopia has not
done So" the spokesman said.
Despite the fact Italy. France and
England have reached an agree
ment at Geneva providing for the
resumption Of the Italo-E ethiopian
Cancellation commission and o e
view Of the question by the council
September 4. Italy still feels the
problem must be settled by Italy "in
the most practical way" the official
s..id.
Asserting Italy believes the life Of
her East African colonies cannot be
preserved without q hinterland IN
Ethiopia. the spokesman said I'VE
hoped to provide this hinterland
through treaties with Ethiopia, but
now we realize there Is no possible
