SCOUTS & THE RAG DRIVE’ (To the Editor.) Sir, —With reference to the rag drive that was to have taken place on Saturday, I wish to make a correction to the statement, made in your paper today, that there was not a sufficient number of Scouts available. This statement is a disgrace to the Scout movement, and in other words the citizens would think that the Scouts are not doing a war effort at all. The Scouts would have done that | drive if they had been given plenty of • time to organise it. It was not until ’ Friday that the Scouts were told to do the drive on Saturday. You cannot expect the Scouts to do an effort like ' this when they are only told a day ' before it is to take place. I can assure the citizens of Carter- , ton that the Scouts, and Cubs did not I let them down, because they will ' never refuse a war effort, and they are J with the citizens in every possible manner.—Yours, etc., J I. F. MARTIN, Cubmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster. 1 Carterton, March 27. 1
