Cuipnian, the tniaclal director of the entire coun 0, in consultation with other oflclals of tie council has gone over the possible' pos-sible' expenditures of the ouncll duf fel te next twelve months an has made an allotment to each town. This allotment has been made according to the population approximately. Each fnindal chairman of each section has - bees' aiked to do bis utmost to raise -111 amount during the six days next week in order that the council may know bow much money may be ex vended next year. At a meeting held la Provo recently recent-ly practically every chairman In the council was present and subscribed to the plea presented, and . accepted the allotment made to his particular territory as " betnar about the -proper amount according to the allotments asdr te tb other...town.,. A!l went away from the meeting feeling that they would have little difficulty In raising the suggested " amount " Borne thourht the drive might be better carried on later, but owing to conditions and events that are com' .lug. the body assembled decided that aext week would be the best time to stage the camnalrn. " The plan calls for a thorouga can viss of every house In the Tlmpanogos District. Every family la the district will be given the opportunity of contributing con-tributing something to the Scout cause. This plan, . according to the Idea of those who suggested It. will serve a two-fold purpose: It will bring funds Into the treasure chest of the council which Is now depleted, and it will enlist he sympathy and the aid of all residents of the district for Boy Scout activity. If plans are properly carried out, men will begin visiting the homes Monday and will keep It up until every ome Is visited. All funds collected col-lected will be turned Jn to the treasurer trea-surer of the council and the budget for the year win be made up according accord-ing to the amount of money received. After all, the sum that each family will be asked to pay will be small compared to the benefits accruing to the community from the. expenditure of the money. Citizens' who are In terested In the next generation will five liberally, courteously, and cheerfully. cheer-fully. They will remember that those who are giving their .lime to the Boy Scout work in the various sections are doing It gratis, and will probably give as much money as those who do aothng but contribute besides. The Scout Executive, who spends his entire en-tire time ra Scouting, Is the only paid official. Tlmpanogos scout Council officers offic-ers follow: . '. President, p.". 8.

Harris - Believes In Scouting Convert the hoodlum, th trouble maker Into courteous scout, is his suggestion. That President Franklin S. Harri. president of the Tlmpanogos DUtrict Council is a firm believer In the Sont movement Is indicated by a statement he made to an interviewer Tuesday evening. -The President was enthusiastic enthusi-astic regarding the success of the work and the outlook. I am hoping," he said "that every boy between the ages of 12 and 18 years can be brought Into the scout work To me any work is- a great work that will convert a trouble maxer, or what might oe termed a hoodlum Into a courteous, gentleman ly scout who is always on the look out for an opportunity o o a good tun. Parents who understand the movement will surely not hesitate to back It in every way possible, or will not hesitate to do every thing In their power to convert their boy Into an active, live Boy Scout. "The Council, with the help of many loyal and trustworthy cltlsens, has carried out a very successful program during the past year. We are now attempting at-tempting to organize our forces in a war that will make It possible to make 1925 the banner year In the history, his-tory, of scouting in "this Council"" In order to do this we have asked the co-oneratlon of scout workers in all of the sections In carrying out a sue cessful drive for funds. Any work as big as the scout movement requires funds. If it is to be effective. Next week- is the week set aside for this drive. It is to be hoped that those who are asked to contribute to the great cause of scooting will respond willingly and Cheerfully. A small sum from each family will make it pos sible for a big program to be carried out next year. -Scooting in the past has been carried on chiefly by" volunteers. It must continue to be so carried on, or the work will die. $nt there are some necessary expenses. These must be taken care of or the wort will likewise like-wise die. One boy saved to a helpful, help-ful, Bseful life who otherwise might slip into difference and sin or crime win be worth all that any community will be asked to contribute to the cause, flcoutlng win help, if not save, scores of our own sons. "I am so thoroughly bavrted to the work that as rapidly a my boys arrive at the proper age I shall do an In mr power to enroll thein In this movement, and the money I may he anked to contribute will be counted light tuition for a school so much worthwhile.'
