FINANCE DRIVE
IS CARRIED ON
BY GIRL SCOUTS

mo wartime shortages in service
to youth" is the theme of Mrs.
Josephine Boyd and the men and
women who are helping her to carry
to successful conclusion the fl
nancial drive now being conducted
by the Juneau Girl Scout Council.
Girl Scout membership in the
United States totaled BAL $3.50 girls
on January l, 1914. This represent
ed an increase of PATH members
over the year before-the largest
increase on record. Mrs. Boyd ex-
planned that this increased member
ship was made possible by the fl
nancial aid of thousands of COM
munities such as Juneau, with
which the volunteer workers exc
cuted successful camp programs
and other activities of interest and
benefit to growing girls.
Boys and Girls Week, April 20 to
May 6, forms part of the time of
the Juneau finance drive, which is
May ! to May 7, inclusive. Child
ren's Health Day, May l, was the
opening date of the drive.
Working with the council mem
beers and their special helpers for
the occasion of the drive are the
troop leaders, who plan and direct
projects of particular interest to
the group working under their
leadership. The projects vary but
one of the most popular ones at
the present time is the development
of international friendship which is
the special interest of Mrs. Donald
O'Conner, Juliette Low chairman.
Juliette Low, the founder of Girl
Scouts in America, is being given a
fitting memorial in this citizenship
training for thousands of girls IN
Juneau and other small and large
communities.
This seasons Juliette Low activi-
ties will eliminate in a music fes-
tival TO be presented later this

at the time of the visit here in De-

Furthermore, the State Depart

Clio Rubber Leader
Declares in London
Troops Jobs Are Safe
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Aug. Fisherman
Dalrymple, president of the United
Rubber Worker (C1O), declared to-
day that organized labor in America
will see to 1t that returning troops
get their old jobs back after the
war. He said If necessary, the United
States could go on a six-hour work
day.
He was optimistic, however, over
prospects for postwar employment
He Said the demand for civilian
goods will be SO great that there will
be no necessity for unemployment.
In an interview. the labor leader
stressed particularly that there is q
place awaiting those who return
from the armed services and lit is
not on relief. 1t is written into law
that soldiers are to 60 back to the
employment they left, with the time
they spent in the Army counting in
their status"
Mr.. Dalrymple said he saw nc
danger to the economic structure OF
the United States in a return to
the prewar size Of pay envelopes "as
long as the cost of living comes
down." He pointed out the larger
wartime salaries resulted generally
from a longer work week rather than
increased wages. He asserted that II
the cost Of living remained high
organized labor would be forced to
seek higher wages with shorter
hours.
Mr.. Dalrymple predicted a return
to the six-hour day for the rubber
industry He also said there was a
place III the postwar period for both
synthetic and natural rubber and
predicted the former eventually
would be developed to a point where
it would be more uniform than the
latter and help stabilize the price.
Back in London from an inspec-
tion, tour Of France at the War De-
partment's invitation, Mr. Dalrymple
said he was pleased and the Army
was pleased at the way the tires
turned out by union members were
standing up to the rough treatment
of war, despite the fact that they
are taking a hell of a beating
He said he would return to the
United States and tell workers that
this is no time to let down in
production. No Army ever had too
much equipment. Let's give it
production shot in the arm and let
the military decide when they have
had enough. I am more convinced
than ever that the labor no-strike
pledge was WISE
