A few weeks ago we met in this
column Fred G.. Orsinger, who lists
his work with Boy Scouts high
among his hobbies. This week we
have Mrs. H. A. Mariner. an active
volunteer worker for the Girl Scouts.
Probably most Scout workers be-
come interested in the subject when
their children reach the age to be-
come Scouts. but Mrs. Mariner
started little earlier than that.
About IL years ago friend who was
organizing a Girl Scout troop per-
suaded her to become Troop Com
mittee member. A Troop Commit
tee is the adult group which sponsors
the troop and helps the leader when
necessary.
In time Mrs. Mariners daughter
became Scout and also in due
course Mrs. Mariner became chair
man of the Troop Committee. Later
still she took the necessary training
and was in turn assistant leader and
leader OF the troop. Her next step
was to become chairman OF the
Service Bureau for District Tin the
Takoma Park Silver Spring area)
and she is now in charge OF the Serv-
ice Bureau for all the Girl Scouts
in the District Of Columbia and
nearby Maryland.
This position entails vast amount
of work. Although titled chairman,
it appears as though most of the
work falls on Mrs. Mariner. Girl
Scouts do an astounding number of
community services and the Service
Bureau has to secure the girls for
the jobs, sometimes with almost no
advance notice.
Many people think OF the Girl
Scouts as an organization where the
girls attend meetings in the winter
and 60 to camp in the summer.
They may or may not learn useful
things while there. This. according
to Mrs. Mariner, is far, far from the
true picture. Almost every service
performed has an interesting story
behind 1t.
For example, one troop met in a
church. To help repay the church
for their meeting place, the girls
took on the job OF building main
tenance as far as minor repairs were
concerned. They learned how to
attach wire and plugs to electrical
fixtures, and saw to it that there
were never any frayed wires or de-
fective plugs in the building. They
didn't wait for things to fall apart:
they hunted up small repair jobs of
any kind and kept things ship shape
and Bristol fashion" in the church.
Some troops have taken over the
repair of Christmas toys, and with
f1remen having less time to do it
this year, the Girl Scouts will un-
doubtedly be called upon to help fill
the gap. In one troop the girls not
only repaired, dressed and packaged
dolls, but saw to it that each doll

bit and pay the ultimate price for
the farmers grain crop. There are
other ways to discourage seed-eating
birds and these other methods
should be used.
