The average pupil expenditure last year was $314.04, not the larger figure quoted. A typographical error in a League information sheet was corrected during the discussion on the day of the tour. Unfortunately, the figure was not changed on the material given to your reporter, who arrived later in the program.

The League regrets any confusion that may have resulted from this error. Officials of the Irving City government and of the Independent School District administration have been helpful and cooperative in the extreme in furnishing inf or- mation, hospitality for the thoroughly interesting tours League members and guests have enjoyed this fall.

Alden L. Baum re sident To the Editor: The 33rd Good Turn Day, whereby the Boy Scouts collect useable and repairable materials for Goodwill Industries, is over. It was a huge success. With your very fine help in publicizing this project, we were able to gather 62,000 bags of raw materials for our workshops. The work of the thousands of Boy Scouts and Cub packs and the contributed transport trucks and volunteer unloaders, would all be defeated, if the housewife had not been motivated to take the Good Turn Day bag, which was brought to her door and fill it with the things we need.

That is where you made it a reminding her of the Lniportance of filling the bag and setting it out. She was motivated to have the materials ready when the Scouts came for it on Sunday. This material will provide steady employment, as well as services, for our clients through the entire winter, and we are deeply grateful to you. Gerald L. Clore Executive Director To the Editor: It is a beautiful idea to have the Christmas spirit all year long, but the very word denotes an intangi- ible quality.

Why do the Christmas decorations and displays have to appear the first week in November? I have no proof of this, but it does seem that they arrive earlier every year. Is there an unpublicized race among the merchants to see who will be first? At this rate, they might just as well leave them up from one year to the next. I suggest that in 1965 the shopkeepers let us first give thanks before they start on their commercial Yuletide campaigns. Mrs. N.
