Scout Finance
Plans Discussed
Final figure* (or the Boy Scout
finance drive to begin on Octo
ber S have been received by Wa
tauga Scout official*, according
to an announcement by Rev.
Joseph T# Shackford, Watauga
District chairman. The quota* for
each district are set by the Old
Hickory Council headquarters in
Winston-Salen.
"Watauga'* quota is only slight- 1
ly higher than last year's
amount," Mr. Shackford raid,
"despite the fact that scouting
has made tremendous itrides in
both Watauga diitrict and the
whole council area thi* year. Wa
tauga has 200% more tcouting
units than it had a year ago,
with a corresponding increase in
the actual number of scouts and
adult leaders. Our four troop* of
a year ago have now grown to
twelve. Alio, the council ha*
purcha*ed ? ? magnificent new
lummer camp ?ite at Raven'*
Knob an<f added a full time field
executive to *erve Watauga, A*he
and Wilkes counties. The finances
,of scouting in our region are well
managed, and those who contri
bute to our budget this year may
be certain that their dollars will
get the best values for the boys of
the Watauga district."
The campaign for this year's |
funds will begin with a kickoff
breakfast on October 5. Clyde R.
Greene and Dr. Lawrence Owsley
are co-chairmen of the special
' campaign committee, and Alfred
Adams is chairman of the regular
finance committee for the district. |

Get Money's Worth
In House, Advises
Extension Service
Don't let the high cost o( living
keep you (rom having the kind o(
home you dream o( owning.
Pauline Gordon, State College
specialist in housing and house
furnishings advises you to make
complete plans before beginning
any type o( improving on your
home. Planning costs nothing, 'she
says.
Learn to refinish your own
(urniture, to make' slip covers,
and to reupholster. "Doing-it
yfturself" is an effective way to
get more for your money.
Study magazines. Keep abreast
of trends in house furnishings.
Today's trend, according to Miss
Gordon, is away (rom sets o(
(urniture. Instead a few comfor
table pieces are used.
Use color in your home, but use
it wisely. Colored pictures, colors
in fabrics, and magazine pictures
o( colored room can help you
select colors (or your color
schemes. Learn about color, re
commends Miss Gordon. Then see
how it can change the appearance
o ( a room ? and o( your whole
house (or that matter. Painting
odd pieces o( (urniture the same
color will add unity to your room
and you'll (ind that the money
you'd intended to put into a new
piece o( (urniture can be spent
elsewhere.
It it's curtains you're planning
to buy, remember that nylon is
more expensive and that it dis
integrates in strong sunlight, cau
tions Miss Gordon.
And perhaps one of the best
ways to save money is to be
doubly sure where you want to
spend it be(ore you actually do
spend it.
