Subsequently den leaders ' escorted es-corted their boys around to each home in Tropic to collect donations new 25" television and VCR to be used for training for the volunteer emergency organizations. The small amount left over from the purchase was given as extra funds to the EMT's and firefighters.

A total of $859 was collected and Syrett worked with K-Mart who offered a 10 percent discount and both a 25-inch television and VCR for the emergency services groups to use for their training courses. Some funds were remaining after af-ter the purchase and presentation of the new equipment, so $190 was given to both groups, the EMT's and volunteer firefighters.
