r28 WILL PRESS DRIVE FOR COUT FUNDS i Workers Determined to Get || $15,060 Needed to Com- | plete Two-Year Budget. An intensive drive is to be made | [ through this week to raise the $15,000 necessary to make up the $60,000 budget for the Boy Scouts, which will provide a two-vear fund for the organization. L. A. Snead, president of the local council, has pledged the executive committee to Taise $5.000, leaving but $10,000 for | Ui the 150 workers to obtain. A special appeal will be made in the churches today, and to the church societles, Catholic, Protestant and Jewish, all combining in an effort to raise the necessary funds, “Perhaps it is not generally known,” said Mr. Snead, “but the Boy Scouts are the second line of ald to tho police, the fire department and the Red Cross. This was particularly noticeable at the Knickerbocker disaster. The Boy Scouts were among the first on the scene and their service is testified to by many letters of commendation which we have received. It is the same atany time where quick and efficient aid is needed. The Boy Scouts are there. “I want the business men of Wash- ington to consider the Boy Scout movement, study it, know what it means. We want funds to make the Washington Scouts the premier or- ganization in the country.” Huston Thompson of the Federal Trade Commission is directing the 150 representative business men who are making the drive. The campaign will continue until Friday of this week. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. i.
