the question of prosecuting per-

Brown was fishing in a boat

Attorney John Briscoe that they
would confer on the case and
would issue a statement later to-

The North Henderson school was
built at cost of around $4,000 and

AssOCIATED PRESS AND CENTRAL PRESS
GIRL SCOUTS OPEN
DRIVE FOR MONEY
5000 Sought for Support OF
Work During Coming
Years Period

Reports early this afternoon were
that good start had been made to-
dav in the annual campaign of the
Girl Scouts, who are seeking contri-
buttons of 5000 for carrying on their
work during the coming year. Mrs
r. F. Thompson, chairman, said in
formal soliciting had netted $22 dur
ing the forenoon, all of it given by
ladies.
Plans were to start an intensive
canvass during the afternoon among
business people, with groups of the
Girl Scouts themselves being escort
ed by lady sponsors in calls to &c
made in stores and offices.
No specific date has been fixed for
the conclusion of the campaign, but
the ladies who sponsor the Girl Scout
movement in the community have ap-
pealed for sympathetic and coopera-
tive support for the cause, explaining
that they feel the community owes
it to them to give some support to
this cause.
Mrs Thompson and the other ladies
in the organization are hopeful that
they can attain their goal, and feel
that's ince the amount asked is so
small they should realize the entire
amount.
