DRIVE FOR SCOUT FUNDS GOESJVER C. H. True Puts Punch in Drive; Judge Norton Endorses Movement

The closing of the Twin City Boy Scout council' drlv for funds today found the proposed figure of donations surpassed by nearly two thousand dollars. Donations In money, which constitute the greater amount of contributions towards the scout fund. Is reported to have reached approximately $7,800. C. A. WEITBERO DONATES It .was announced today that this total had been augmented by the granting of a clear title to city lots on Chicago tve. by C. A. Westberg, O. A. WEITOCJIG vice president of the East Chicago Company, and one of the city's leading boosters. This ground, which is located near the East Chicago city library, is Siren as a prospective site for the Boy Scout home. Much gratified surprUs was registered among the city scouts when they learned that one of the leading realtors of, the region had opened his heart to the boys and paved the way for the building of their new bores. TRUE PTT9 IX PC1TCH Voder the supervision of Charles H. True, vice president of the Superheater Co., the neeesnary amount of pvnch haa been injected into the flrlve to arouse the decided 100 per cent interest. He has been assisted by such able mm as Judge Twymaa If. E. DeHoll. C. C. Bheld.n, James Thompson. John J. Block, George U. Lewis and Julius S. Friedman. JtncE won.To?r rath Ir a trttcr a3dresd to John J. r-..'';. irifr.atr cf the tuaurance department of the First Trust and iia:i2t. Irtm Judge B. Miles Norton of the Lahe Juvenile court, the Judge says: "It Is with great satisfaction I endorse the Boy Scout movement and lend whatever assistance I may to assist financially and otherwise In extending its Influence. "The Boy Scout work helps to develop boys into real men and good citUens by presenting a program of activities that appeals to th boys and keeps them clean, healthy Ideals, and also supervises these activities by a talent that is not only companionable and pleasing to th boys themselves, but Is of the very highest type of young manhood, and by example as well a, precept encourages the boys in the right direction. The greatest need of the reai ooy in our community is of proper supervision in his activities and of providing the right kind of activities and encouraging him to think the right thoughts and do the right things at the right time These things, I think, the Boy Scout movement encourages and develops to an extent that is not reached by any other organization. "We would have little use for Juvenile courts and reform schools (excerpt perhaps for-those who are sub-normal mentally) if every boy In our community could be under the Influence of proper Boy Scout leaders, and his activities, espcially in vacation time and hours out of school, superintend, and his Ideals fostered and directed, by men of the caliber usually found directing Boy Scout work. "In the tnree years and ten months I have occupied the position of judge in the court In this county having charge of Juvenile work, we have tried approximately 600 delinquent boys. Of this number, less than two ier cent have ever been associated with or members of the Boy Scout movement. I consider this a remarkable testimonial to the efficiency f the Scout work In preserving the morals of the boys and leading them in the right direction.
