speech a day. the hundreds upon hun

From almost every conceivable source
and for every kind of an occasion there
comes to the office of the Vice Presi-
dent each day pleas fer public ad-

In comparatively recent times one
Vice President travelled more than &c.
900 miles during the course of his term

campaign itineraries led him over a
much greater distance. This Vice
President dedicated churches. cathe-

one occasion officiated at the opening of

two to three addresses at every stop.

speech to city considers himself most
fortunate, for somehow or another, local
entertainment committees seem to fig

What Girl Scout" Means
By TheIma Foght, Troop u


Is the GAME all must play;
Stick to the right, don't mind what others say,
Is for IDEAL, all hold dear,
Something to work for, some career.
It's sometimes hard do what's RIGHT
But Girl Scout tries with all her might
Is for LOYAL to troop and to friend;
Girl Scout is loyal until the end
Is for STRONG to run and to play,
In the sunshine should spend part of each day
Is for CHEERFUL, laugh and a song
Will help brighten the whole day long
Is for OBEDIENT, for come what may
Girl Scouts duty is to obey
Is for YOU; it's YOU must work
And from your small duties never shirk
Is for THRIFTY; we save each spare dime
And lay II away for some future time.
