LOCAL BOYS IN
CONTEST FOR A
SCHOLARSHIP
L. G. Callahan, Jr., Allen School
field, And Alan GrOh Try
For $4,000 Prize

The chance to win $4,000 to pay
for a complete college education is
making a hit with seniors in the Local
high school.
Of course, there is catch to it in
the form of a special examination to
be given to all entrants in the Oppor-
tunity Scholarship Competition now
being conducted in schools all over
the country, but students here are
confident that the questions prepared
by Columbia University and other
educational experts won't stump
them. They are keeping their eyes
fixed on the career of David Sarnoff
President of the Radio Corporation
of America, sponsors of the competl-
ton, who rose through sheer ability
from messenger boy to head of a
worldwide organization.
Ten preliminary national winners
will be chosen by board of emf
nent radio scientists. These boys will
spend a month next summer in New
York and Camden, N. j., where they
will study the research laboratories
and engineering facilities of NBC,
and RCA Victor. Visits to the Worlds
Fair also will be made. All expenses
of the trip will be borne by the spon-
sor. Then, one student will be chos-
en- as the one most likely to succeed
in a radio scientific career, and to him
will be awarded the $4,000 scholarship
at a leading engineering college
Each of the other nine boys will re-
ceive $1OO in addition to the trip.
Local interest in the big competi-
ton is conferred on the chances of L

That there is a plethora of candi-

The camp regulations apply, DR..
Riley explained, to every camp or pic
mic ground that is used for six days

mits, camp operators are requested
to state the exact location of the ex-
listing or proposed camp; to indicate

the approximate number of persons
to be accommodated and the proposed
dul alton of the camp season.

buildings and grounds; concerning the
water supply; toilet facilities and the
disposal of sewage, garbage and other
wastes. Satisfactory arrangements
must also be made for proper hand
ling of foods, milk, cream and ice

to federal workers in violation of
the law.

charge, asserting the letters 81
