(AMpAIGNER5. IN BOY SCOUT DRIVE
 pERFECTING PLANS
Eiqht Teams Will Canvass Juneau Next Wednes-
 day to Raise Funds

Boy Scout Campaign Executive Committee members had breakfast this morning at the Baranof Hotel with their Chairman. Charles Gold stein. At the meeting final plans for the campaign to be conducted next Wednesday were approved and committee assignments completed.
 Chairman Goldstein reported that eight teams would canvass Juneau residents at their place of business on the day of the drive. Workers will meet first for an early-morning breakfast next Wednesday. then make their calls during the day.
 The Chairman asks residents to be prepared to make their contribu- tions at that time, in order to avoid the needs for calls back on the part of the volunteer solicitors. Special teams will handle government of fices in Juneau, and the various civic organizations are being asked to contribute to the drive, the chairman said.
 Assisting Goldstein on the Execu- tive Committee and attending this mornings meeting were George Parks, Curtis Shattuck. Charles Burdick, Earl Cleveland, Wallis George, James c. Ryan, Dr. J. O. Rude, Frank Hermann, and Harry Sperling. Sperling will head up the committees work in the Federal Building, with other captains talk ing the various other governmental offices, Goldstein said.
 Juneau residents are being asked to contribute to the annual $40 900 budget of the Alaska Council, along with about 12 other Alaska com munities. Money raised is expended in the interest of cub scouting. boy scouting, and senior scouting in Juneau and Douglas, and all but per cent of it is spent in Alaska in order to make the scouting pro- gram available to the boys of AL aska, Goldstein emphasized.
 Once year the Alaska Council sends $400 to the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America, as its annual quota towards extending the program on a national basis. In re- turn, Alaska gets the advice and assistance of national officers, with once-a-year field visits from one Of the Regional Executives at Port land, Oregon. The Alaska Council has about 1900 members, the chair man said, with another 2,000 or 5000 boys available to membership as leaders and training are pro- vided.
