A financial drive was planned last
Tuesday evening when the sponsor-
ing group of Boy Scout Troop 17
met at the Christian Church. This
is one of very few such drives ever
put on by the troop. It was decided
to have this campaign in order to
raise enough money to put the
scout busses in top shape. One new
engine, tires and a complete check
of the busses are needed at this
time.
Mrs. Pete Sutton, president of the
sponsoring group, appointed a fund
committee with Herman Morgan as
chairman and Cleon Byrd and Mr.
and Mrs. Roy Lipsett, Carl Ap-
pling. They will start the campaign
in the next few days.
Mrs. Sutton explained to the
group that money raised by the re-

groups but is used to furnish them
a regular meeting place and to buy
needed storage and equipment for
all six organizations. "This scout
drive," she continued, "is necessary
to put the troop equipment in top
shape as a safety factor for our
youngsters."
A bus maintnance committee was
also appointed by Mrs. Sutton with
Boss Cobb as chairman and Joe
Stephenson and Robert Westbrook.
They will oversee the repair work
and maintnance of the two busses.
Following the business meeting
