a real service to the Boy Scouts of America as this great or
ganization labors to build better men in your locality. The
Tuscarora Council Executive Board, which is composed of
outstanding men from Duplin, Johnston, Sampson and Wayne
counties, has recently adopted a budget of $40,895.27 for the
year 1958, stated Dr. A. H. Zealy, Jr., president of the Council.
This budget will be raised by means of local fund raising
campaigns in each of the four counties, and by active par

budget, as adopted by the Council Executive Board, provides
for the maintenance of two camps; equipment to train the
rapidly increasing number of adult and junior leaders re-
