In an effort to solve a serious sani-

city for some time three of the large
manholes of the sewer system will be
sealed shutting out flood waters that
at times of excessive rainfall have

the water and causing stoppage that i according to report
has caused serious inconvenience to
householders in certain parts of the
city and in some public buildings and
business houses.
Manholes that are thought to have
caused the trouble are the large ones

Inability of several members of
the Scout Drive committee to be
present Friday, necessitated the post-
ponment of the opening of the drive
until Monday when the"- campaign to
secure one hundred Cuero men and
w’omen associate members of the
Tonqua Area Council will get under
way. *
The town will be districted and di-
vided among the members of the com-
mittee composed of five members
ealch from the Rotary, and Kiwanis
clubs, and a canvas made under the
direction of V. J. Grander, local
Scout executive and W. Y. Durrett,
deputy regional Scout executive, w’ho
is in charge of the organization of the
Tonqua Area.
A meeting of the committeemen
was held in the city hall Friday
evening when plans for the drive
Were mapped out; and much interest
and enthusiasm in the movement
which is preliminary to a revival of
Scouting here were shown. Support-
ers of scouting in Cuero during the
period when there was no paid direct-
or, who realise the value and im-
portance of continuing
among the boys of the
express themselves as
gratified over the opportunity offered
through the formation of the Tonqua
Area to place the work among the
boys on a more business like and or-
ganized basis.
It is expected that the drive will
meet with encouraging results in
Caere; and that there will be little
difficulty in securing the desired
quota of members. Three ofo who en-
list as associate members of the local
scout organization will serve as mem-
bers of the Tonqua Council and one of
these will be named as a member of
the executive board.
