Scout W eek Set For Feb. 6-12 College Station and Bryan Scouts will join the observance of the 41st anniversary of the Boy Scout Movement scheduled for Feb. 6- 12. Among other things, scouts will help with the nation-wide “good turn” to meet an emergency need for clothing in several countries around the globe. Nation-wide good turns of this character have had a prominent place in Scouting’s forty-one year history during which more than 17,750,000 boys and leaders have been identified with it. Brazos County has 21 Scout units serving more than 500 boys of all ages. The first National Good Turn in 1912 promoted a safe and sane fourth of July. Boy-power, trained and organized for service came into full play during the first World War. Scouts then sold nearly $150,- 009,000 in Liberty Loan Bonds, located 20,758,660 board feet of sorely needed walnut and a hun dred carloads of fruit pits used in gas masks. They helped in food and fuel conservation drives and Drive slowly—crippled children make crippled citizens.

Official Notice Because there has been a change this year in the Air Force ROTC summer camps, there naturally has been some doubt in the minds of some Army cadets whether or not there will be a camp for them this summer. The following informa tion has just been received from Head quarters Fourth Army: “Attendance at ROTC summer training camps for advanced course ROTC students scheduled to attend camps will take prior ity over any other army camp attendance.” The above proves that as of now the Army does contemplate a summer ROTC camp.

In response to a radio call from President Roosevelt in 1934 for a “National Good Turn” in relief work during the depression, Boy Scouts in a few weeks collected 1,812,284 items of clothing, house hold furnishings, foodstuffs and other supplies for the needy and distressed. From 1941 to 1945 the Govern ment made 69 requests for Boy Scout war service including the distribution of Defense Bonds and Stamp Posters, air raid posters and other Government literature and the collection of aluminum and rubber. Scouts also served as gov ernment dispatch bearers and helped harvest crops in addition to raising victory gardens. During this time, the Boy Scouts of America also planned and car ried out several drives for scrap newspapers and magazines which resulted in the collection of thous ands of carloads of the badly need ed paper for war industry. 4,394 Voters Pay Poll-Tax In Brazos Co. Although complete figures had not been compiled, more than 1,000 Brazos County voters paid their poll taxes Wednesday—the final day for payments. With the 1,029 persons who met the deadline, the total number of voters to have paid their poll-taxes jumped from 3,363 to 4,394. This figure is expected to be increased by other payments which are being received through the mail. Last year 7,054 voters paid their poll taxes in Brazos County. Ex emption certificates were claimed by 1,200 persons this year. The total number of payments for the county are expected to be tabulated by Monday or Tuesday of next week. ‘Essential’ Grads May Be Deferred All graduating college students will be granted a 30-day draft de ferment to give them a chance to get into essential industry. This announcement, from Draft Director Lewis B. Hershey, is effective at once. It will apply to about 30,000 college seniors who graduated at midterm. Graduates who are successful in finding “essential jobs” in vital in dustries may apply to their draft’ boards for reclassification. No rules have been handed down by Selective Service to determine jobs that warrant deferments. Lo cal draft boards will have the final say on each case. The local boards have been given lists of essential activities for guidance. Order of DeMolays To Be Set Up Here A Brazos County Chapter of the Order of De Molay for Bryan and College Station will be set up Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in the A&M Consolidated High School. A team from one of the De Mo lay chapters in Houston will con fer the degrees at 8:30 p.m. The installation of officers will follow, Welcome Wright of the Industrial Education Department said.

Oden, Roberts Head CC Membership Drive By ALLEN PENGELLY Battalion City Staff The fifth annual membership drive of the College Station Cham ber of Commerce which began Feb. 1 will continue throughout the re mainder of the month, said Joe Sorrels, president of the chamber. Co-chairmen for the drive are Ray Oden and J. E. Jocko Roberts. Oden will be responsible for the commercial memberships while Roberts will head the individual and husband-wife memberships. To become a member of the Col lege Station Chamber of Com merce, with full privileges, one must be a resident or businessman of the city and must be interested in the improvement of the social and civic conditions of the city. Membership Costs The cost of membership in the civic organization is five dollars for the individual and six dollars for the husband-wife combination membership. The minimum cost for a commercial membership is $10. The suggested rates for a commer cial membership vary between $10 and $100, depending upon the size of the business and its ability to pay. The average membership for last year was $22.50. The goal of this year’s drive is 500 members. In 1950, there were 255 members divided as follows: 61 commercial memberships and 194 individual and husband-wife com bination memberships. All work done by the Chamber of Commerce is by voluntary work ers. This accounts for the admin istrative costs being only 4.5% in stead of the customary 55% sug gested budget. Expenditures Totaled Of the $3,752.83 received from last year’s drive, the total expen ditures of the organization were $3,440.60. This money was spent through the various committees for education, membership, recrea tional facilities, business develop ments, public health, legislation, office expenses, publicity, civic development, and city planning. Members of the Membership Drive Committee are Hershel Bur gess, Earl Cunningham and Mar- Farthest North units of the Boy Sco-uts of America are a Troop and Explorer Post of Eskimo boys at Barrow, Alaska, sponsored by the Town Council. ion Pugh.
