 Reports at Breakfast
 In addition to the teams, the Campaign Executive Committee members will also be at the break fast Report breakfasts will be held at 8 am, sharp on Thursday and Friday when it is expected the ac- tivities of the workers will result in a successful campaign.
 AS important as the securing of the funds for the Territorial bud get is the desire on the part of the entire campaign organization to sell Scouting to the citizens of Juneau. We expect no one to subscribe funds unless he is thor oughly sold on the values accru- ing from the Boy Scout movement and considers his subscription an investment in building men of char acter, trained for participating citi- senship,', said Chairman White head.
 Two Assistants
 Aiding pr. Whitehead with or ganizational details of the cam paign are Amby Frederick, first Scout executive to make his home n Alaska, and H. c. Mugar, Depu- ty Regional Executive of Region Eleven which besides Alaska in cludes the states of Oregon, Wash lngton, Idaho, and Montana.
 The National Council is par ,icularly proud that MT. Frederick has been chosen to serve as AL aska's Scout Executive. He has T wealth of successful experience in the Boy Scout movement, both as a volunteer and for several years past as a Scout Executive. In order to maintain such fine Territor- ial administration, community lead- CTS throughout the Territory are conducting campaigns to raise the ,unds to carry on successfully with this more intensive development Of the Boy Scout program. To launch the financial needs on sound foundation we are placing full con- fidence in the demonstrated ability of Alaskans to generously support whatever they believe to be best for the Territory. From the type of financial support received to date, we are more than ever convinced that Alaskans cherish the Boy Scout movement which does so much in developing high type par ticipating citizens" said Mugar.

Smyrna times., 1941-09-25

Anthracite coal is dense but
not very brittle, although upon
handling as one piece rubs on
another, small chips will break
off. If the coal bin is not cleaned
out periodically, sizeable amounts
of dust particles may gather.
This is an unnecessary condition
for it would only take a minute
or two to clean out the bin be-
fore a new delivery of coal is
made.
Not only is this important
from the dirt angle, but if it is
permitted to have this dirt ac-
cumulate in the bin, sooner or
later, large amounts of these
"fines" will be fired into the
heater. These so-called "fines"
will have tendency to "pack"
the fuel bed. This condition, in
turn, will cause sluggish draft
and a dull fuel bed. The fire will
not be lively and because suffi-
cient air cannot be supplied to
the fuel, the result will be un-
satisfactory heat and the COM
mon complaint of cold rooms. If
this condition of dust being fired
into the furnace continues, it
may ultimately cause clinkers to
form.
So be sure, before your load
of coal is delivered, to have the
coal bin cleaned out. 1t only
takes a minute and is well worth
the trouble. You will not only
have a cleaner basement, but
also trouble free operation of
YOUR heating plant. (26N

A. The easiest way is to instruct
your employer or banker to hold
back a small fraction of your sal

to $3.50, the purchase price of a
