THE GIRL SCOUTS
REVIEW THE TROOP
PERFORMANCES

Now, as we are ready to start new
scout year and look back on the old,
we find that last year brought us a
bigger, finer, and more interested
group of girls than in previous years.
We are also proud of the many things
that have been given us and the good
times we've had together.
We want to thank all the organiza-
tions of Pocomoke who have helped US
and our troop committee and captain.
Our sponsors were the Legion, the
Lions Club and the Woman's Club. The
Legion gave us $50 for flags and
equipment, the Legion and Lions
Clubs helped us with our summer
camp and the Woman's Club payed
our registration fee. All through the
year our troop committee-Mrs. Ray
mond Dryden, Mrs. Roger Landlord
and Mrs. Bradford Massey have stood
by us and have helped to solve many
of the problems which came up.
During the year we have been hav-
ing many activities. Drilling formed
much of our meetings and now we can
march in a parade as we'll as the rest.
Then there are the hikes we've had,
which helped in many ways. Also
the nature studies, the stumbling
block of Girl Scouting. On Armistice
Day we sold poppies and we also sold
Library Tags. Now our one goal is
a basketball team and we have a reg
ular day for practice. We also want
to improve on our tennis which we
have played in a very careless way up
to now.
Among the nice things in scouting
are the parties. They've been fun
and we remember them all with pleas
ure, the farewell parties for Sally
Dryden and Leucia Venable, the party
given by the Legion and Halloween
party given by Patrol No. 2. Then
too, Patrol No. 1 has spent one night
at the scout cabin. Next came Christ
mas time when the Girl Scouts went
in body to see "Gloria" a Christmas
play given at the State College at
Salisbury. It was one of the most
beautiful Christmas plays we had

 He accused Quinn, who forced OHara's resignation as president of the NarraganSett Racing Associa- ton. Inc, of having denounced the presidents supreme court reorgan- ization plan, castigated the undlstri- buted profits tax and the capital gains, tax. and then joined with the power trust attack on flood control .
 O'Hara believed "the rank and file" would support him. He said he would wage campaign with mo funds and no political machine
 "The time has come when the working people want jobs and not charity, when the chief executive should be more interested in how many new manufscturies can be brought to this state. I can and I will bring new industries to the state ..
 "The Republicans hope to win because was persecuted and they, at the last legislative session, never allowed single piece of indepesd- : ent progressive legislation to pass the senate"

 % ague of
 Nations".

In signed statement given The Democrat yesterday, Maurice Griffin rendered his resignation as 18th district leader of the Irish Republican Club and as financial secretary of the Young Mems Re- publican Clun.
 In the statement, Griffin claim ed that the Irish Republican Club is run by a few of the men within the organization and not by all the members. He said secondly that the club, organized to back the Republican party, had, as the result of the attempts of some of It's members, tried to break the morale of the Republicans.
 He claimed that the organiza- ton Is not an Irish Republican As- sociation, as 1t was intended to be at the time of it's establishment, but has developed into a league of nations"
 Griffin further stated that the publicity which the Irish Repub- lican Club received in the papers, was not the proper thing for the club, and was not authorized by the club as a whole, but only by the inside" members.
 As a result of all these consid- erations, Griffin has severed all his relations and connections with the Irish Republican Club, and with the Young Mems Republican Club.

 Finally rebuffed in attempting to have the city buy trucks after being informed by the board of finance weeks ago that no money has been set up for such purchases, the controller has issued statements to the Rcpublican-American regard ing the affair over a long period. As late as yesterday his last ally in the political scheme. published stories predicting defeat of the transfer at last nights meeting.
 Instead, numerous transfers were grouped on motion of Alderman Thomas P. Kelly and the Repub- licans fell into line" to remove the barrier to progress of city develop ment as constituted by the control Ter. The motion calling for the transfer was made by Republican Aldermanic Leader George L. King ston and the vote was unanimous with the exception of one belated cheep from Alderman Thomas F.

tBy United Press,

Danger of war between Japan and Soviet Russia over their disputed borders is intensified by news of serious fighting in the triangle of the vaguely defined borders of Siberia, Manchukuo and Korea. the latter being Japanese territory annexed in 1910 by Japan.
 Since Japan abolished the ancient Kingdom of Manchuria in the years from 193l-1933 and set up the state called Manchukuo, under Japanese hegemony, Soviet Russia and Japan have been fighting constantly over the frontiers.
 More than a year ago, Gen. Sen. juro Hayashi, then premier of Ja- pan, told the Japanese parliament that border incidents" had reached a total of 2,400. The various en- agreements involved many hundreds of troops, tanks, airplanes and gum boats.
 Boundaries Cause Trouble
 Premier Hayashi told the diet that few of the incidents" had been settled satisfactorily and that "all efforts to demarcate definitely the Mancukuan-R Russian boundaries have failed"
 Reports of border incidents, both between Manchukuo and Siberia and between Manchukuo and outer Mongolia, came almost every week They varied from sniping across the Amur river to almost major engage ments.
 No official estimates of casualties in the unofficial warfare in the re- mote section of Asia have been is- sued, but the figure undoubtedly would be several thousand killed or wounded on each side.
 The Manchukuan border on both frontiers is heavily patrolled day and night by Japanese Manchukuan and Russian troops, and gunboats of each patrol the Amur when 1t is not ice-locked.
 Quiet Up to Present
 Until the present crisis, the bor- der dispute had been comparatively quiet since the serious "Amur incl dents" of July, 1887. For five days, until Russia eased the tension by withdrawing gunboats and troops, a new Russian-Japanese war threat ened. Both sides agreed to nego- tlation but nothing definite re- suited.
 Japan has charged repeatedly that Russia is aiding China in the war with Japan, which may be at the root of the current trouble. The best hope for a present solution by negotiation lay in the fact that Japan is so burdened by the diffi- cult Chinese campaign that she would be unlikely to undertake two wars at once, especially with such a powerful neighbor as Russia.
 S0yiets Have Big Army
 The Soviet Union has heavy mili- tary forces in the region, having sent considerable endorsements to an already well-equipped army of 350,000 men and more than 1000 war planes. Russia has set up elab- crate Notifications of concrete and steel.
 The border clashes are part of a broad, general struggle between the two powers for control of north ern Asia and it's riches. The strug- gle dates back nearly half a cen tury and heretofroe Japan has al- ways been the winner.
 Russia was pushed back from Korea, South Manchuria and Man chukuo after her disaster in the Russian Japanese war of 1905. The Soviet answer has been to double track the Trans-Siberian railway, build up mighty army and air force, and fortify the border Her tone is defiant against any further Japanese incursions.
