 s.The keynote of the Girl Reserve pro- gram is individual work on the part of the Girl Reserve. Through such q self governing organization the longing on the part of the younger girl for respon sibility and for self-expression 1s be- ing satisfied and leadership is beiag developed. The army of Reserve force Is steadily growing in Phoenix
 tThe Girl Reserves, as such. came into existence in the fall of 1918. Since that time the organization has quad- rupled it's membership until it now numbers S0.000 girls between the ages of F and IS. The right thing for every younger girl, anywhere. all the time is the aim Of the Girl Reserve move ment. Eighty thousand Girl Reserves means d reserve army of S0.o00 in training for better citizenship. Through its activities the Girl Re- serve is learning to think of its com munity. Already the Girl Reserves have earned s1a5.ss to start fund in the Deaconess hospital which girls needing medical attention may use. The fund is still growing and will un doubtedIy exceed the S1o0 mark by the time school is closed. The Girl Re serves have also been able to aid in the Associated Charities in Phoenix by campaigns for out-grown clothing, en-
  families at Christmas and Thanksgiv- Ing time, by a spoon shower for the Spanish Mothers club etc.
 "They are building strong, healthy bodies through the keeping of the Girl Reserve health rules. through outdoor hikes, team work, etc.
 s'By designing school dresses and giving approximate costs, by lessons in first aid, and by working for the many other honors under "KnowledSe, the Girl Reserve is increasing her store of knowledge and her capacity for use fitness.
 Eighty thousand Girl Reserves in America are learning "to find and give their best,' and are daily living by the Girl Reserve code, which is:
 'As a Girl Reserve I will be,
