GIRL SCOUT NEWS

We heard you exclalm why, l
did not know we had Girl Scouts
in Sank Centre" That is just what
we thought and that is why we
have asked the editor of the Herald
to give us this space each week so
that we may tell Of our work and
endeavor to get some interest and
support from the community. We
think the Boy Scout organization
is fine but being girls we think
the Girl Scout organization is bet
ter, and if there is need for a
boys organization of this kind,
there is certainly need for a
girls organization.
About four years ago we or
ganized as Girl Scout Unit under
the leadership of Miss Sunde, of
the Public School, and we have
maintained our organization ever
since. Miss Olsen, also Of the Pub
lie School faculty, became Assist.
Scout Mistress and we have carried
on by our own efforts without ask
ing help from any other organiza-
ton. AT the present time we
have 80 members divided into four
patrols of eight members each
and some of us have won merit
badges and are still winning them.
We have been called upon several
times to take part in community
enterprises and have always put
across whatever we have under
taken. We have no grudge against
anyone and we wish the boy Scouts
the best of good fortune in the eff
forts being put forward for their
benefit, but we believe there is
enough enthusiasm in Sank Cen
tire to secure little interest in our
organization and we are going to
make an effort to secure this by
keeping our name and our doings
before the public through this col.
umn kindly given us by the Her.

organization might adopt us like

AT the meeting of the Stearns
county commissioners last week an
important change was made in the
state road running through the
county. That portion from Avon
to Sank Centre, which is to- be
built this season, was changed to
run via New Munich instead of
through Albany and Freeport. The
change was made because some
farmers near Freeport objected to
having the road pass by their prop
erty. County Surveyor s. 5.

to push work on the road. When
it is completed there will be a fine
highway all the way from st.

each 10 pounds of live weight is
safe quantity. Ayrshire, Holstein,
Brown Swiss and Shorthorn calves
may be fed 1 pound of milk day
for each pounds of live weight.
A calf fed three times daily can
assimilate more food than when
fed only twice. During the first
few weeks, great care should be
taken to prevent any digestive
troubles. A safe rule is always to
have the calf little hungry when
it has finished drinking its milk.
Milk fed to young calves should be
at about body temperature. Cool
milk should be warmed to temper
ature of 95 degrees F. by setting
the pail in vessel of hot water be-
fore being fed. One cannot de-
pend upon guesswork- sure to
use thermometer! Cold milk will
almost always cause digestive trou-
bles, resulting in scours which tend
to stop the calf's growth and hind
er it's getting a good start.
No one can accurately estimate
with the eye the quantity of milk
in pail. Milk scales are very
convenient for this purpose.
Clean feeding pals are abso-
lutely essential to successful calf
raising. They should be washed af-
ter each feeding as carefully as
milk utensils and sterlized if posi-
BILE. Dirty pals invariably cause
digestive troubles. All managers
and feed boxes should be kept
scrupulously clean. Plenty OF
bedding, straw, corn slower or shaw
ings should be used, especially in
the winter, to insure the calves al
ways being on dry litter and moi
] on the cold stall floor.

How to Grow Calves
In Winter

In Winter
Winter-born calves given proper
care and feed will grow like sum-
mer-born calves, says the Blue
Valley Creamery Institute, but one
must remember that calf raising
begins before the calf is born be-
cause only cows in good physical
condition produce strong, vigorous
calves.
The calf should receive the FIRST
milk or colostrum from it's mccher.
Colostrum is thick, very yellow in
color, and contains nearly 6 times
the amount of protein contained
in ordinary milk. Its purpose is
to furnish the newborn calf with a
laxative and tonic to start its
body organs to functioning prop
erly, according to the Institute.
"A common practice is to leave
the calf with the COW for the first
three or four days. This plan al.
lows the calf to be with the COW
during the time when the udder is
inflamed. However, the longer the
calf is allowed to remain with the
COW, the harder it will be to teach
it to drink. If at first a calf does
not drink readily from a pail, it i!
advisable to keep it without fooo
for at least twelve hours. It il
then hungry and is usually willing
to try drinking. Warm whole milk
fresh from the cow, should ID

into clean pail. The quantity o:

varies according to the size, breet
and individuality of the calf. Ii

Gives Data About
Continental Flag
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Thousands of visitors to the Cor
coran Art Gallery viewed the exhibit
loaned by the United States Navy"
visualizing the evolution of the United
States flag.
Although this exhibit apparently
bears official or semi-off1cial approval,
it errs in at least one particular.
That Is In the statement that the
Great Union flag" the parent prede-
ceSsor of the Stars and Stripes, was
first flown on the Continental ship

written in recent years on the history
Of the flag. But their claim, however,

been proven.

British spy, and John Paul Jones him.

this emblem-evidence that seems to
be overlooked. And so it was the ser
pent flag, not the Great Union flag with
the 10 stripes and the British Union

If there is any real evidence in sup
port of the Nays claim to being the
first to use the Great Union flag on
December 3, ITS, or any other date, 1t
should be given publicity. claim of
such importance, in the absence of con-
temporary proof, should be qualified
with an explanation thereof rather than
jumping at conclusions"
There is ample contemporary evidence
to prove that the first raising of the
Great Union flag by the Continental
Army was on January l, 1776, at Pros
pect Hill, Charlestown, now Somerville,
Mass. (not in Cambridge, as stated in
the exhibit.
But whether the Army or the Navy
was the first to originate or display this
first truly American flag has yet to be
determined. THOS. E. KISSING.

He will not treat a indicative fool
the same way he does a poor fool, nor
reserve for the former the manner
which he holds in reserve for the gooo

The handling of fools in the every

ceived, we fear, the attention which II
deserves. It is no new subject, now
ever. The fool Is often mentioned In
the Bible, especially in the Old Tesla
ment. There must have been plenty OF
them then.
Nor has the supply much diminished
over the years. The world Is full OF
fools, and the curious thing about 1t all
is that no fool recognizes himself, but
always thinks every one else Is one.
There ought to be a commission or
something to put labels on the FOOLS,
so that there could be no doubt In the
minds of any one as to their status.
A fool. according to q popular oen-
milton, is some one you don't ike!

Bookkeeping in Charity.

The Washington Council OF Social
Agencies plans to establish q social
service exchange with q card index OF
all charity cases in this territory.
This is in line with the best social
service practice. It should contribute
substantially to the eficiency Of all
the charitable organizations represented
in the Community Chest.
When an individual or q fs.mily is
in distress various groups are prepared
to extend help. Unless there is some
central source of information two or
more such organizations are likely to
work blindly and at cross purposes with
each other. Each, without knowing
that the other is interested, sends its
agents to investigate the circumstances
and prepare an effective plan for relief.
Each has O different plan and a
different procedure. Efforts are dupli-
Gated. Money is wasted. The suffering
family is educated in Incidence and
mendicity.
Under the new plan the first organ
isation called in will prepare card for
the central file, detailing the circum-
stances and the procedure adopted.
