She is well known to most volunteers; especially those connected or involved with the Order of the Arrow, Advancement, or Publicity. In her position with the council Frances is in charge of all rank advancement, especially the processing of Eagle Applica- tions · and the Annual Eagle Banquet. She handles the lay-out of the Smoke Signals and types all articles for that publication. Probably her best known job is that of office secretary to the Or.der of the Arrow. In this position she maintains all 0 -A Records of tapouts, induction, and history of membership. She has been honored by the 0-A by receiving the coveted "Alloga- gan Award" given only to those persons outside the order that have contributed greatly to the growth and success of the 0-A. Outside of Scouting Frances en.joys fishing, crocheting, and working with ceramics. Frances and her husband, Buck, live in Barton, Mississippi.

Leaders from Scout and Cub units were present to discuss problems and needs of the Eastern District. A lot of light was shed on problems with all phases of Scouting especially the Webelo transition into the Boy Scouts. I believe tha.t this meeting was the beginning of a new spirit of togetherness in the Eastern District and that a substantial growth in units and program will be realized in the near future. If you were unable to attend you missed one of the most meaningful meetings we have had in a long time. We plan to make this a regular event so stay tuned for the next meeting. SME As of this date the Eastern District has reached 1/2 of our 40,500.00 goal. The next phase of our SME game plan is the unit enrollment campaign headed by Phil Gilmer, Thane Smith, Howard Buehler and Ozzie Cain. Also the follow-up campaign headed by Jim Laycook will be starting soon. I hope we can all pitch in and help these outstanding volunteers so that we can reach our goal.

Trey MoorP CORRECTION In the May issue of Smoke Signals it was mistakenly announced that the fee paid by Cubs and Webelos to attend Cub Scout Day included lunch each day. This is not correct - the $15.00 Cub fee and $20.00 Webelos fee does include crafts, snacks, drinks, insurance, patch, and iron-on decal; but does not include lunches. Two Scouts from the Southwest District won first place honors recently in two major contests conducted by the Chickasaw Council. Trey Moore, Eagle Scout of Troop 84, sponsored by Graceland Christian Church, was selected by the combined council activities and advancement committees as our councirs Scout l{epresentative in the l'<ational Vouth J{epresentative Contest. · Stephen \"aladie. I .ife Sc:out of Troop 449. of St. Paul's Catholic Church was selected recently as the winner of the Chickasaw Council-Headers Digest Public Speakinl! Contest. Stephen was selected by members of the Toastmasters Clubs of Memphis. As Chickasaw Coun<'ii's Scout Youth l{epn'st>ntativt>. Trey will reprt>sent our council in the Area I I, Tennessee-Kentucky Contest later this year. In the area competition Trey will compete against council Scout Youth Representatives from ten other councils. The winner of the area contest will advance to a regional contest in Atlanta this fall. The winners from the six regions of the BSA will then go to Washington, D.C. next February for the Annual Scouting Heport to Congress. As our winner of the annual l'ublic Speaking Contest. Stephen will also compete in area competition agai nst other council winnns from throughout Tennesset> and Kentucky. Like the National Youth f<epresentative Contest. the Public Speaking Contest progresses to an area. regional. and national lt-vel. To Stephen and Trey we offer our congratulations and best . wisht'S for further successful competition on tht> area level.

Leaders from Scout and Cub units were present to discuss problems and needs of the Eastern District. A lot of light was shed on problems with all phases of Scouting especially the Webelo transition into the Boy Scouts. I believe tha.t this meeting was the beginning of a new spirit of togetherness in the Eastern District and that a substantial growth in units and program will be realized in the near future. If you were unable to attend you missed one of the most meaningful meetings we have had in a long time. We plan to make this a regular event so stay tuned for the next meeting. SME As of this date the Eastern District has reached 1/2 of our 40,500.00 goal. The next phase of our SME game plan is the unit enrollment campaign headed by Phil Gilmer, Thane Smith, Howard Buehler and Ozzie Cain. Also the follow-up campaign headed by Jim Laycook will be starting soon. I hope we can all pitch in and help these outstanding volunteers so that we can reach our goal.
