 Contributions Sought
 Several hundred volunteer work CTS during the period of February 15 to 26 will solicit on a neigh borhood basis for the necessary funds to carry on the maintenance and extension of the scouting, senior scouts, and clubbing organizations of the Boy Scouts of America and for the further development of Camp Mattatuck. The aim of the cam paign organization is to secure as many contributions as possible through this neighborhood canvass, explained Walter H. Deacon, general chairman of the finance campaign organization, in the following state- ment: '
 T believe that scouting needs to be of and by the citizens of each community as well as for the boy hood of the community. I believe that scouting is Q stronger move- ment if thousands of people will help to support 1t, than it would be if our total budget of $14,500 were given by one person. Through this method of neighborhood solicitation we have been greatly increasing the number of those maintaining the scout program and we have every confidence this year that we shall not only reach the goal of $l4,5OO which we must have in order to carry on our wor ka11d complete necessary developments at camp, but also that we shall have increased very largely the number of subscrip- tioaS."
 The campaign opens tomorrow evening with 8 diner meeting at the Hotel Elton at which Don w. Mover, New England Regional Scout Ex- ecutive will be the speaker and Rt. Rev. Msgr. Valdambrini will give the invocation.
