Girl Scout Proud Winner Of Many SerUice Badges
F annie Lou Collins, All-Round Athlete, Seams
 tress And Proficient In Many Other Ways

Fannie Lou Collins, aged fifteen Girl Scout Troop 2, that, in brief, is who she is As to what she is, we'll, the latest thing and perhaps one of the things that shows best the type of girl she is, is that she was recently voted the best all-around Scout on one of the recent Girl Scout camps. To be chosen the best all-around Scout in a group of more than eighty Scouts means something-of an honor and in this instance one which every one on the camp felt was well deserved--for an aH-around Scout is what she is.
 Girl Scouts have a way of working for what they call merit badges, little symbols they wear on their uniform sleeves as tokens of work done in va rious lines. Each one stands for eff fort and, more important, for ac- complishment Fourteen of these badges have been won by Fannie Lou. Needle woman and dressmaker-which means that she knows about all there is to know about sewing, that she not only can make her own clothes but that she actually has done it. Cooking which means that she can walk right in and take charge of a kitchen and know how, and why, and what, to feed family. First aid-just let something happen out on hike and she's ready to meet the emergency, whether it be to make a stretcher from scout uniforms, to use her three cornered tie as tourne- quette to stop bleeding or what not.

|DR. HUNTER HERE
 TO FILL PULPIT
Former Local Pastor To Preach At First Meth
 Odist Church

Rev. J.sD. Hunter, pastor of the Cen tral Methodist church of Decatur, for merly associate pastor of the First Methodist church of Birmingham, fol lowing which he was for two years pas tor of the Government Street church at Mobile, will fill the pulpit of the First Methodist church Sunday morn ing and night, in the absence of Dr. George R. Stuart, pastor, who is con valescent from his recent illness at Lake Junaluska, N. O.
 'eThe Worlds Greatest Maxims,. will be Dr, Hunters subject in the morn ing, and 'The Cornerstone of Charac- ter" at the service at 8 o'clock at night,
 Believing that ie is possible for an ambitious country boy to gain an edu- cation and make his way in the world in spite of tremendous handicaps, Rev Mir. Hunter has seen some of his fond est dreams come true. The youngest of large family, raised on the farm, when told by his father that he might leave home and the responsibilities there if he could make his way through school, this country boy finished high school and college and took his theological training in Vanderbilt university, pay ing the bills on his own initiative.
 During his term of associate pastor of the First Methdoist church, and right-hand aid of Dr. George R. Stuart, he aided in the work of the great Centenary campaign, the construction of a new Sunday school building, cost ing $150,000, the Christian education campaign, in all of which First rhurcb stood in the forefront with large contri- buttons.
 It was perhaps because of this ex- perience in handling the affairs of great downtown church that the bishop transferred Rev. Mir. Hunter to the passionate of St. Francis Street church, Mobile, one of the oldest churches in the United States Methodist connection. which, located in the heart of the city's life had come to crisis, and which he again managed to rejuvenate and make a force for good, and his work in De catur has also attracted attention.

 In addition to all that around her Scout hat is little blue cord which to Scouts means one big thing-five hundred hours of home service, work done in helping make the wheels go round at home, taking care of younger brothers ard sisters, doing all the hun dred of little things girls can do in 6 home to help things along. In addi- tion to all that "hominess'-what does she do but walk off with all sorts of athletic honors as we'll!

PARKS POPULAR
 DURING SUMMER
Birmingham At Work On
 Plans For Extension Of System

Birmingham's parks and playgrounds in the height of their season are prov. ing more popular this year than any proceeding year, according to Perrin Jenkins, secretary of the park and re- creation board. < Exceptionally, hot days this season have found hundreds of peo- pie at the parks. The most popular park this year in Birmingham has been Avondale park.
 Avondalef park, the oldest of the parks, with a cooling spring, it's pond with ducks and abundant shrrubbery justifies- its title of the leading popular park in Birmingham, according to the there. The zoo, with its elephant now valued at $5,Q00, two bears, birds rab- bits, peacocks, namas, Indian and water buffaloes and coyotes still attracts much attention among the kiddies.
 Ball Games Popular
 A new attraction of the park, at the present is the numerous baseball games of the city league that are played on the spacious diamond adjacent to the spring and pool. Bleachers have been built to accommodate almost, any num- Der of spectators, The popularity of the parks this season is having is effect upon park proteges, according to MT, Jenkins, Ensley has begun her cam paign for $5,00O with which to build their park The landscape architects engaged by the park and recreation board to study all of Biriningham's parks and to present a comprehensive system for enlargement in the future and correction upon the present sys- tenn, are making good progress.
 Birmingham,s playgrounds also are in full swing. Contests at each play ground are being staged and the win ners from each local playground will compete in a final contest at Munger Bowl during August to decide the play ground champions of Birmingham. In connection with this folk dances are being taught which will be presented, with music furnished by the park band, in August with the contests.
 Such interest in, the parks this year was unexpected by the recently created park board, it is said, but it is giving them invaluable to aid in their construc- ton of larger park policies and plans for greater Birmingham.
