ANEW YORK.-The Girl Scouts
I'M official organ, the American
- Girl, publishes a letter writ

J can administration in Russia,
which will be Of interest to scouts
the country over. Writing under
date of Moscow, August 3, Mr..
Mayer says:
You have read of the famine
and disease in Russia. You have
heard how Herbert Hoover, hus-
band of the Girl Scout national
president, sent food and medicine
and doctors to save these unfor-,
tunate people from death.
Yesterday, l saw just how much
the American Girl Scouts cared
about their sister Girl Scouts, over
here in the shadow of Moscows
golden domes. l saw that sympa-.
thy reflected in the faces of
thirty Moscow Girl Scouts, who
were able to spend ten days at a
summer camp in Meyendorff
Wood, because the Girl Scouts of
Massachusetts had sent them food,
which made such q vacation posi-
BILE. =
1T was not so long ago that the
Massachusetts Girl Scouts, through
their president, transmitted to
Russia through the American re-
lief administration, $1,O72 for the
purchase of food packages. This
amount was sufficient to buy 100
OF the A. r. AS standard $40
size food packages, which contain
rice, flour, cocoa, milk, etc. 1t was
requested by the Girl Scouts that
these packages be distributed to
the neediest and most deserving
girls In Russia, especially to the
Girl Scouts. Seventeen of these
packages have been given out in
the MOSCOW district, and ten pack
ages have gone to other towns.
Il saw just how much the Mos
cow Girl Scouts appreciated this
kindness from America. 1t was q
splendld thing to do, for you have
no idea how difficult 1t has been
for the Russian Girl Scouts to
carry on their scout work. Dur
ing the dreadful days of last win,
ter when food was very, very
scarce, even as it is now. the Girl
scout movement in Russia did not
die.

Visit the Girl Scout camp In

az mute attention, with their eyes
Ilxeo straight ahead. Before them
was the flag mast with the Of
ficial green Girl Scout insignia at
the peak and with the six patrol
rags running down either side of
the mast.
Mr.. Popoff told the girls that
we were Americans who had
come to visit them. He spoke of
the Girl Scouts in America and
extolled their kindness, and the
thirty Moscow Girl Souts agreed
with him through three g lusty
cheers. Later they showed us
through the camp.
