LITTLE GIRL HAS MANY
"BREAKS"

While lying in bed in the
children's ward of the Homeo-
pathic Hospital, Wilmington,
with both legs broken but
mending, Edna Gallagher, Z
years old, suffered another
break of the right leg a few
days ago. This is the ninth
broken bone the child has suf-
fered in her short life. Edna
has been in the hospital since
last November, where she was
taken with both legs broken.
They were set and put into
casts. A few weeks ago they
had knit sufficiently for the
casts to be removed. II was
after this that Edna, still in
bed, suffered another break.
Special diets and treatments
are being given the child to
strengthen her bones. She is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Gallagher, of Big Elk,
Cecil county. She suffered the
first broken bone when three
years of age and since then
has had eight others, the one
suffered at the time she was adj
mitted to the hospital having
happened when she fell off a
chair while one leg was in a
cast from the previous break.

GIRL SCOUTS CELEBATE
21st. ANNIVERSARY

this nation are celebrating
their twenty-first anniversary
this year. when Sir Robert
Baden-Powell founded the Boy
Scout movement in England, it
proved too attractive and too
we'll adapted to youth to make
it possible to limit its great OPP
portunities to boys alone. The
girls organization, known in
England as the Girl Guides, de-
veloped and fiourished with
equal success.
Mrs. Juliette Low, in Ameri-
can visitor in England and a
personal friend of the Father
of Scouting, realized the ire
mendous future of the move
ment for her own country, and
with the active and friendly CO.
operation of the Baden-Powelfs
she founded the Girl Guides in
America, enrolling the first
patrol in Savannah, Georgia, in
March 1912. They were re-
christened the Girl Scouts in a
very few months, however, as
that name was more appropri-
ate in America.
In 1915, National Headquar-
ters were established in Wash
ington, d. c., but the following
year they were moved to New
York and the methods and
standards of what was to be a
nationwide organization be-
came established on a broad,
practical basis.
Each succeeding year has
shown a larger and more en-
thuastic body of girls and
young women learning in the
happiest way how to combine
patriotism, outdoor activities,
skill in every branch of domes-
tic science, and high standards
of community service" from
Girl Scout Handbook, Pg. 13.
The Girl Scouts do not only
celebrate George Washington's
birthday on Feb. 22nd, but it is
also the birthday of Lord Bad
en-Powell. In the Girl Scout
Leader he sends the following
greeting to his American
friends in Girl scouting.
''It is great that you Scouts,
even in carrying out your
CHEEKY activities, are doing a
worth while work in the world.
You are making yourselves
strong and healthy with a view
to doing better service for 9th
ers and for your country.
Well done. Go on with it!
Baden-Powell of Gilwell."
The Girl Scouts are doing &C
tive and useful work in these
times of depression just the
same as they did during the
World War. Now they are
making clothes for the needy,
giving aid where possible and
helping to teach the unemploy-
| ed girls a way to health and
happiness and teaching them
ways of earning their living
which the girls never knew be-
fore. Teaching the unemploy-
ed so that much of their time
is occupied and thus causes
less unrest and discomfort.
The Girl Scouts have an in
ternational meeting place. 1t
is known as "Our Chalet" and
is located at Adelboden, Swift
erland. A Juliette Low Mem
orial Fund has been establish
ed for some time to strengthen
the friendship between the Girl
Guides and the Girl Scouts,
from all over the world. Last
year a group of Girl Scouts
were sent as the Juliette Low
Memorial Encampment. Lord
and Lady Baden-Powell have
helped to make Our Chalet the
wonderful place that it is.
The most proficient of the Girl
Scouts of the nation were chos-
en- for the encampment last
year to make this international
visit.
Ever since the founding of
the Girl Scouts in this country
the movement has continued to
grow without ceasing.

FOR FARM LOYALTY
Secretary Tells 5000 at
Florence, S. C., 1--WE Are on
March to New Day."
BY the Associated Press.

by rNe hSSOCldJeQ fIcbs.
FLORENCE, S. c.. August 26.--Sec-
retary Wallace told 5000 farmers at IN
open-air mass meeting here today they
must work unselfishly toward common
ends II crop reduction programs are to
gain their ends.
I'VE are on the march. we are coming
into a new day, but We don't know Just
what it is yet" he said in asking his
audience to support the program un-
selfishly.
The Secretary spoke before the court
house, with his audience stretching out
before him under the giant oaks which
shade the county buildings lawn here in
this center of cotton and tobacco
growing region.
He explained what the Agricultural
Department has been attempting to do
in production control, not only with
cotton, but with wheat. and said he be-
lieved the department had contrived
the machine for crop control and that
it was on the right track, but that
farmers must try to understand It for
best results to be obtained.
Describing the former system Of un-
controlled production as an indictment
Of the social order. he said:
The old system was run by selfish
hearts and power and 1t was anti
quated."
Then he referred to the present plan
as the first staggering. crude effort at
cotton production control, which will
take the work Of thousands of people to
make effective"
