Scout Fund Doubles Donations But Won Not Fulfill Budget
The Greater Bennington Fund Drive for the Green Mountain Council reports donations totaling about $3 700, about 2 1/2 times last year, but only half of 1963 expenditures of $8 000 will be covered. Camp Sunrise funds and Ray Lovely salary drive the shortfall. Rutland County must cover the rest.
