WATER PROBLEM CONFRONT
THE LARGE CITIES
The water supply in some of-
the larger cities has become a
major \ problem. Only a few
months supply remain in reser-
voirs in many cities. Dallas has
only about four months supply of
w^ter and water uses have been
severely curtailed in that city.
The city authorities of Dallas
are now looking around for an
additional supply f>f water. San
Angelo has an acute water prob-
lem. Eastland is now shipping ife
much of their drinking water.
De Leon, however, has an am-
ple supply of water and the local
city authorities do not anticipate
any shortage here.

The National Program of Scouting
The Boy Scout movement was originated by a British Army
Officer, Robert Baden Powell, during his work as an ofQcer in
charge of Scout training in the British Army. The program for
boys grew rapidly and was soon brought to America by a Chicago
newspaper man. *
In America, the program has grown from its very small be-
ginning to a registered membership of over three million boys and
men today. In 191S the Congress of the United States honord the
organization by granting them a Federal Charter which gives pro-
tection to the word “Scout” and to the Uniform and Insignia.
The program of scouting is designed as a character building
program for boys. It emphasizes a code for living known as the
Scout Oath and Law. Scouting is essentially an outdoor type of
program which specializes in camping and hiking skills. In addi-
tion to the outdoor phases of the program there Is a special program
of awards known as the merit badge program which encourages
boys to do projects in a number of different fields. There is a merit
badge set up for nearly everything a boy might be interested in.
,In 1930 the Cub Scout program wag started. This program
in contrast to Boy Scouting is almost entirely a “home centered”
program. Cub Scouting Is designed for boyj of 8, 9, and 16 years
of age. It has become increasingly popular. z
During the next few- days there will be a drive locally to raise
funds to carry on the work of this worthwhile organization. Let’s
pitch in and do all we can to help.
