VALLEY SCOUTS
RECEIVE GIFT
t _
Painting Given to Camp
Perry Home By Corpus
Christi Club Woman
A beautiful painting of a camp
scene is to adorn the walls of the
Valley boy scout home at Camp
Ferry on the Arroyo Colorado, the
gift of Mrs. Frank A. Tompkins of
Corpus Christi, first vice president
of the Texas Federation of Wom
an’s clubs. v
Mrs. Tomkins addressed Valley
Boy Scouts at the dedication of the
camp grounds last year and was so
impressed with the work, according
to her letter, that she desired to
make the gift.
Tom Murray, Valley Scout execu
tive, who received the letter from
Mrs. Tomkins, has written her
p=- -
how to forward the picture.
Mrs. Tomkins wrote to Murray:
“My visit to Harlingen as one of
your special guests for the dedica
tion of the Scout camp and build
ing will always be a very happy
memory’.
“While there I was deeply im
pressed with the splendid spirit of
cooperation that was shown by all
the citizens of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley in donating so gen
erously to the grounds and the
wonderful building, while there I
thought that at some time and in
some way I should like to cooperate
with you in this fine character
building work that you are carry
ing on. So now, as I notice from
the papers that you are to have all
the boys there during August for
the annual camp I wish to send you
a gift of a beautiful painting of a
camp scene. This picture was
painted by Mr. Robert Wood, a
noted English artist who received
his degree in art from one of the
best art schools in England and who
has studied under some of the fa
mous artists in America. His pic
tures have won recognition wher
ever they have been exhibited. I
know you will enjoy hanging the
picture in your Scout building.”

MISSIONS SENT
TO REBE AREA
Social Workers Attempt to
Raise Standards In
Bandit Region
MEXICO CITY, July 27. -(/Pi
Committees of social workers are
to be dispatched to the “Christero”
country, mountainous regions o'
central Mexico where for three
years religious zealots, bandits and
other lawless folk have terrorized
residents.
Plans for sending these missions
to the states of Jalisco, Colima,
Michoacan and Guanajuato have
been announced by the department
of public instruction.
Several missions will be sent to
each state and each mission will in
clude an expert to prepare rural
teachers, a social worker to teach
hygiene and domestic economy, an
agricultural engineer to show peas
ants how to increase their produce,
a physical culture instructor, a
painter to foster popular arts, a
music teacher, a vocal teacher and
an industrial engineer.
Ezequiel Padilla, secretary of the
department of instruction said, in
making the announcement that the
peasants were dragged into the
“Christero” rebellion by “fanatical
elements” and that since the rebel
lion is almost at ~n end it is time to
raise the level of the people, better
their standard of living, foster
sports and promote wholesome
amusements. Once this is accom
plished Padilla believes, it will not
be so easy to nduc' t.iem to -'bel.
The “Christeros.” in English lit
erally “Christers,” were bands of
rebels who rebelled when the
churches closed three years ago be
cause of the religious laws. The
name came from their banners
"vive Christo Rey”—"Long live
Christ the king.”

SCOUTS SEEK
TO PAY DEBT
Obligation Must Be Retired
Before Cabins Are
Constructed
Retirement of an obligation of
$3600 against improvements already
made at Camp Perry, the ten-acre
camp site on Arroyo Colorado near
Rio Hondo, before undertaking
erection of any other structures,
will be the policy of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley Scout Council,
Members of the council explained
this policy was made necessary by
the fact that more than $6,000 of
the current operating budget is yet
to be raised and that the treasury
is depleted.
“If we get this $6,000 we can re
tire the greater part of the indebt
edness against the present develop
ment at the camp,” said O. E. Van
Berg, president of the couhciy.
This policy was adopted at a
meeting at which the work of Tom
Murray, Valley scout executive also
was endorsed. “We have absolute
confidence in, and will back Tom
Murray to the limit in his capa
city as scout executive,” a resolu
tion adopted by the council said.
Scouting in the Valley has en
joyed a “very splendid growth,” ac
cording to E. E. Voss, deputy reg
iona lcxecutive of the ninth region,
who has been making a detailed
study of the Valley council from the
time of its organization.
“You now have an active enroll
ment of 1012, compared with 102
when the council was organized,”
Voss said. He also said interest in
the summer camp was very high.
Speaking of the financial policy
of the scout council, Mr. Voss point
ed to section 3, Article II, of the
national council by-laws, which
governs raising and spending of
money. “There is but one group in
the Lower Rio Grande Valley which
can legally authorize the raising or
disbursing of funds or enter into
contracts in the name of the Boy
Scouts of America, and that is the
executive board of the council, on
which every town is represented,”
Voss declared.
