I thought the camp was, but guess
I was getting farther away all the
time. didn't hurry at all. The woods
were pretty and I wasn't frightened.
Hours must have passed, because
the sun was beginning to fade out
and I wasn't getting anywhere. Be
sides, was hungry and thirsty, too
I said to myself, Bill, don't be
sissy and get panicky You'll find
your way out all right" AS it grew
dark I knew Pops must be getting
worried and I hurried some.
The first time really got scared
was when heard something tick
loudly in the leaves real near me. I
knew there were rattlesnakes in the
woods. I'd never seen one except In
the Washington Zoo. And. sure
enough, there was a big rattler not
six feet from where was. He was
darting out his tongue at me and !
could see the rattles on his tail quiver.
I was plenty scared. then. ran right
through the underbrush. When I
stopped I was all out of breath and
my clothes were torn by thornS and
twigs.
A little later found spring. So
knelt down and drank like my dog
drinking out of his pan. Wish could
have found some berries or fruit or
something, but there was nothing to
eat.
1t was dark by this time. I was so
tired I just gave up and lay down on
the leaves and put my head against
q log. There were few night sounds
which might have frightened me if I
hadn't been so tired. I guess I went
to sleep right away, because the next
thing knew the sun was up and I
started on again. I knew Pops must
be nearly wild by this time and that
If it had gotten into the papers that !
was lost that mother would be upset,
too. So I kept right on going.
The searching party found me early
that morning. My, but was I glad to
see them! Pops Rugged me and maybe
I cried little. We drove to Staunton
and ate breakfast. I don't think I've
ever eaten so much at once. When We
got back to Washington they had my
picture in the papers and all the kids
at school asked me about my getting
lost. I guess it wasn't so bad after
all

One Original
Girl Scout
Lives Here
MEMBER Of the first Girl
Scout troop in America Is liv-
ing in Chevy Chase, Md.

~ Scout troop In AmeIlCd - A'-
~ ing in Chevy Chase, Md.
4 \ She is Mrs. Carl I. Aslakson
of Leland and Strathmore streets. who
will be one Of the honor guests Friday
night at the banquet the local Girl
Scouts are giving in celebration OF the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the ma
tional organization.
Mrs. Aslakson was a seventh-grader
in a private school in Savannah, Ga,
when the late Mrs. Juliette Low, Girl
Scout founder, started the movement
in Savannah.
Two troops-the Pink Carnation
and the White Rose-were organized
at the same time Between them they
had a membership of IS girls. This
number soon increased rapidly.
MRS. Low had Just returned from
England, where she had visited Lady
Baden-Powell. founder Of the Girl
Guides in England" Mrs. Aslakson
said. She was so interested IN the
Guides that she decided to try some
thing like it for American girls.
"At our first meeting We did the
same things the English girls were
doing" she recalled. I'VE tied special
kinds of sailor knots and worked on
our pledges. Before long We bagan
to work for merit badges, too"
Meetings were held in a coach house
behind Mrs. Lows home which had
been turned into club, Mrs. Aslakson
also recalled.
Scout uniforms now are much neat
er and more attractive than the orig
inal uniforms, she added.
"Ours were blue, worn with a tri-
angular scarf, and every girl in each
troop had the same colored scarf. As
well as can remember, the uniform
was a skirt and MILDLY blouse affair" "
Mrs. Low was q wonderful organizer,
Mrs. Aslakson declared.
"She was q little deaf-especially
when people said no to anything
she asked them to do for the Scouts.
II they said yes she seemed to hear
perfectly" she laughed.
Mrs. Aslakson moved to Washington
about a year ago. She has no daugh-
tiers, but her one son, 9-year-old
Corbin, is going to join the Boy
Scouts Just as soon as he Is old enough

To roam about with me.

Nor one that's very rare,
Who passes others with his head
Stuck high up In the air.
Give me a hound In preference
To any pedigree.
A dog who has intelligence,
Who'll stick through life with me

And if I had no friend,
I'd get q collie for pal
Whose friendship knows no end
I want q pal to stick by me
Through rain and snow and log,
I'd pass by every pedigree

Codfishing Off
 Nome Attracts
 Much Attention

After hearing of the success ful fishing trip made by Captain Paulsen of the gas schooner Trad CT. the Lomen Commercial Con- pany was inspired to send the tug Lucille out to the banks with a crew of qualified fishermen. The expedition got under way at 2 am. Sunday, with the idea of taking soundings and prospecting to ascertain whether real fishing banks lie offshore. The fishermen, returning elated with catch of 86 big cod, are very definite in their statements that the area south of Nome will prove of great CT worth than the area lying to the north.
 The Lucille with Captain Teddy Reed at the wheel, had 3R hours steady stea1ning before she ar rived at the banks, some 30 or 35 miles out. At that distance a northwest wind was blowing, al though the direction on shore was southwest the sea was rough, and not all of those aboard were care free at all times. The first catch, which of course is always the big thrill, fell to Freddie Waid, and then everybody was busy pulling in the finny tribe, Nils Anderson topping the list with the largest number of cod to his credit. It was at the 13 fathom mark that the fishermen had the greatest success. No halibut were (Continued on Page Two)

 MANILA, August 9, A state ment by President Manuel L. Quezon to the New York World Telegram in which he virtually invited counter proposal from Congress looking to continuation of the American flag in the Philip pine Islands, produced immediate bullishneSS in security markets which had declined steadily dur ing the last few weeks. They reached their lowest levels in two .Scars the early part of this week.
 Business men were inclined to regard President Quezon's intim ation as the most optimistic news since the Independence Law was enacted. National assemblymen said the move was the most dip lomatic that could have been talk en. Many business men said that a permanent Philippine-Ameri- can tieup would be the best solu- tion to the problem, particularly in view of the gloomy outlook for Asiatic peace.
 Political circles, however, were bewildered. Many politicians had campaigned on behalf of prev ious suggestion by Quezon in whi oh he advocated that the Ameri- can Congress reduce to two or three years the period at the end of which the Philippines will be given their Independence, instead of delaying until l945 as provided in the Independence Act.
