SCOUT CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS SHOWS FINE ENTHUSIASM: MEETING LAST NIGHT INDICATES CITIZENS WILL BACK MOVEMENT AMERICAN LEGION EXPRESSES WILLINGNESS TO ASSIST Everything. Points. to Success of I Drive to Money for Cause Much enthusiasm marked the opening of the Boy Scout campaign for funds held last evening at the new headquarters in the Chamber of Commerce rooms. A splendid talk was given R. J.

Stewart, general chairman, who, outlined the work and stated that the 'campaign which will last one week, will be confined to the downtown district of the city, the chairman voicing the opinion that every manufacturer, merchant, doctor and lawyer a8 as all other men in the professional and business walks of life should be interested in this splendid work for boys. President A. J. Stukenberg told of having met a gentleman yesterday, who said he and his wife saw. two lads fishing in yellow creek, and the one lad held up a large fish and they commented on what a splendid spectmen it was and they asked him if he caught it.

The lad replied "yes," and they were about to move on, when the little fellow said, "I think I should tell you that it was my pole and my line and my hook, and put the worm on and. put it into the water, but a big boy came along and pulled out the fish," Mr. Stukenberg said to this man "could you tell ine the name of the boy," and he said "yes" and he immediately recognized him as one of our Boy Scouts. "This," said Mr. Stukenberg, "only goes to show and emphasize the boy scout law and creed.

They are supposed to be clean and truthful and honest lads." Legion Does Good Work One of the most encouraging things of the evening was the splendid response of the American Legion. Commander Lloyd Larson THE FREEPORT JOURNAL-STANDARD came with his fourteen men and stated that they were anxious willing to work. They belleve in the Boy Scout program and not only would assist in raising the money but also would furnish men later on to take charge of Boy Scout troops. The object of this campaign raise suflicient employ trained executive. The local scout council is negotiating now' with three or four excellent men, and just as soon as the campaign is over and it is evidenced by the responses of financial support, that Freeport wants this executive, they will proceed immediately to engage one: This executive will have vision of U.

Grant extends from Galena to. Savanna. A similar campaign is taking place in these nearby to raise their quotas. In the past when it was necessary for any merit badges be given, Scout leaders were obliged to send to New York for them, and if the boys or local council wanted any help or advice they were compelled to spond at this long distance. With a trained leader on the ground he will.

help organize new troops. Instead of having 437 boys in this Area which now prevails, it will be possible to bring the number up to one thousand or more. It has been a hard proposition for A. R. Buffin, the Rev.

R. Kenneth Knowlton, David Aurand and John R. Hawkins, to carry on this work without a trained leader and they are looking forward to his coming with a great deal of happy anticipation. They deserve a great deal of credit for carrying on this work these many years in the splendid way they have. It is a really worth while work and is backed up by some of the best men of the county.
