Cooperation Builds a Home For Scouts
T h e S co u ts of this area. Boy and G irl and Cub. m ay. at last,
be on th e w ay to acquiring th e building th a t they have so badly
needed.
And we think th a t the m en who are stru g g lin g to get the
b u ilding erected have hit ujxin the best possible w ay of a c q u ir­
ing those m a te ria ls w hich they cannot afford.
In th is lum bering area, i t ’s often cu sto m ary to go to th e
n e a re st saw m ill and ask him for lum ber for w o rth y p rojects,
such as th ese
But lu m b er is expensive, and so are th e raw’
m a te ria ls from which it is m ade. 'Io ask a m ill ow ner to buy
th e logs, pay a crew to saw them , and d o n ate the finished lum ­
b e r is ask in g for a p re tty husky financial sacrifice.
W hat this group plans to do, then, is to ask. first for logs,
secondly for the use of m ills, finally for donated labor. W ith
loggers, tru c k e rs, m ill ow ners and mill crew s all cooperating,
th e lu m b er for th e Scout building m ay he a c cu m u lated w ith no
g re at financial stra in on any individual.
I t ’s a good idea, and w o rth y of th e group endeavoring to
build th e Scout home. We wish tly rn every success, and w e’ll
join w ith the o th e r business m en in giving them o u r most solid
hacking.
To th e sponsoring o rg a n iz atio n s who are ca rry in g th e load on
th is p ro ject; th e VEW . the E agles, and the O ld Fellow s, th e re
sh ould be a g reat deal of satisfac tio n in the know ledge of w hat
th e ir w ork is gaining
And to th e o th e r civic o rg a n iz atio n s of
th is city th e re is a great o p p o rtu n ity h ere to do som ething
