Should Get Together

Various groups Of conservationists
are spread over the county. They all
believe that wildlife should be pre-
served and steps taken to insure
plenty of hunting and fishing for the
true sportsmen of the area.
These various groups should gel
together and have a common organiza-
ton for the entire county, with branch
groups where they now are and few
additional ones formed where the III
terest justifies.
1t is only by joining for a common
purpose that any ultimate good will be
accomplished.
Likewise it is our belief that the
statewide organizations for the
preservation of wildlife should get to-
gether. There are several distinct
groups and each group has plan: A
coordination of effort will bring about
more good than scattered effort.

To illustrate his point. the speaker

Better Homes Week of
! Group Is Launched at .
National Little House.

Mrs. Roosevelt was the principal
guest and speaker yesterday at exer-
ctses opening the Girl Scouts Better
Homes" week at their National Little
House, Eighteenth street and New
York avenue NV.
Mrs. Roosevelt watched a series of
home-making demonstrations, auto
graphed copy of her recent book,
This Is My Story" for the Little
House library. made a short talk and
planted Norway spruce tree, the
gift of Mrs James Roosevelt, ST., from
her estate in Hyde Park, N. Y.
Besides Girl Scouts from the Dis
trict, number came here for the
occasion from Connecticut, New York,
Annapolis and Baltimore They wore
for the first time the newly adopted
Girl Scout costume. It is of dark
green washable material, one piece,
and with princess lines. The short
skirt is fared and the sleeves are
slightly puffed. 1t is belted at the
waist and zips up the front to q closely
rolled collar
AoAAAVu OAAS ouCCCCus
Mrs. Roosevelt told the girls In her
talk that "the woman who has had
an opportunity to acquire, as a girl, a
sound knowledge of the many skills
that a successful homemaker must
possess is much more likely to succeed
than one who assumes such respon-
sibhity without training.
But while woman is traditionally
the homemaker," she said, lit by no
means follows that she is q success
ful homemaker merely as the result
OF some instinct she possesses"
"One Of the reasons I have such
regard for the Girl Scout program
Is that in addition to providing op-
portunities for girls to learn by doing,
you make it fun to learn. And when
we consider that the Girl Scouts of
today are the homemakers of tomor-
row, think we may feel that Girl
Scouting is doing its part toward at
tanning the objective of Better
Homes in America"
Demonstrations Watched.
Mrs. Roosevelt watched demonstra-
tions by the girls of flower arrange
ment, first aid. the preparation of in
valid trays and cooking. The girls
from Annapolis presented two MARION
cite shows, Sleeping Beauty" and
Nail Soup"
Hosts at the services were Mrs.
Henry H. Flather, chairman of the
Little House Committee; Mrs. B. F.
Cheatham of Stratford, Va, mem
ber Of the National Board of Direc-
tors Of the Girl Scouts; Mrs. Anson

Junior Radio Club Active
The Junior Radio Club made a
second trip to WDEL, Wilmington,
Monday evening, January 10, this
time for the purpose Of making a
study of the studio, and studio
techniques. They were especially
interested in the part Of the lee
ture which had to do with sound
effects. After his lecture, the
studio manager allowed the mem
bers of the club to look around the
studios to their hearts content.
They found particularly interesting
the huge transcription record, and
learning how they differed from
the ordinary recording. The telo-
type which constantly brings news
into WDEL was another highlight
Of the evening. Those who went
were Adeline Hilyard, Wilma
