This annual canvass has receiv- ed splendld support from the citi- zens of the town in the past and it is anticipated that the same gen- erous support will be given this year. The ”ummerside Boy Scouts are sponsored by the Y's Men's Club to the extent that the Y's Center is made available to the Scopts for their meetings. etc., but the actual financing is largely

by the public.

This year the Boy Scout uni-id jamboree will be held in Canada and a spokes for the local Scouts said last evening that if the response to this year's appeal will warrant it that eight Scouts from Summerslde will be able to attend the Jamboree.

During the radio auction 'this evening. from time to time. ap- peals will be broadcast and those wishing to support the Scout! are asked to phone their offerings to the radio station and they can Iat- er make payment tothe Y's Men When Picking up any purchases they make during the suction.
