several times by eager young
sters.
Wolf Cub, Tommy Arthur,
chalked up a record for the pack
in sales and returns and Ron
Crawford sold most among the
older helpers, upholding a record
he has earned for the past three
years.
Good Scouts, Bill McKenzie,

cover the north end of town.'
Apples were supplied at cost for
