Boy Scout Fund Drive Is Underway Robert F. Lawyer of Mountain Home, chairman of the Baxter County fundraising drive for the Boy Scouts of America, opened the county's week-long drive Monday with a breakfast at the Willow Court. "Last year we raised $1,600 to help pay Boy Scout expenses in the WestArk Council, which includes 18 northwest Arkansas counties," Lawyer said. "This year we hope to raise $1,800." The drive which ends Saturday, is being conducted in a different manner this year, Lawyer said. Businessmen and citizens are being solicited by more than 20 volunteer workers to purchase $10 sustaining memberships in the council, he said.

"However, we will take any amount people wish to donate to scouting, large or small," Lawyer said. He said that 32,000 youngsters in the council area are eligible to participate in the scouting program, but that only 6,600 youths are enrolled in scouting activities. "So you can see we haven't scratched the surface of scouting's potential in our council," Lawyer said. 25 Persons From County Rehabilitated A total of 25 handicapped zens from Baxter County were successfully rehabilitated and placed in gainful employment during the 1965-66 fiscal year ending June director 30, E.
