Glenn Wallace, a partner in Wallace Monument Company,
is unchallenged in his bid for re-election to the council,
and Cecil McAfee, a welder, is unchallenged in his first
election. McAfee was appointed by the council to fill the un-
expired term of Harold Autry who moved to Amarillo.
A light vote is expected for the city election because of the
lack of competition.
Campaign begins
The Sustaining Membership Enrollment is toask people to
pledge a substantial amount each year that can be billed
or have a draft drawn on their bank account. This would re-
move the necessity of contacting these individuals every
year and give a better idea of just what can be budgeted.
The money collected goes 100 to support the Boy Scout
Exectives plus two secretaries and work study help, main-
tains Camp M. K. Brown west of Wheeler and educates the
volunteer workers in the Boy Scout Program. At the pre-
sent time there are 4,700 Scouts and between 1,600 and
1,800 volunteer workers in the Adobe Walls Council.
If a person doesn't feel able to be a S.M.E. member, any
amount you can contribute will be deeply appreciated.
