DRIVE WILL START HERE,
 $3O00 FUND
Campaign 10 Get Under way for Big Camp De-
 inqs During Summer

The Girl Scout-Boy Scout finance drive with it $3,000 objective will be- gin May 2 and continue for one week aoCording to Mrs. Josephine Boyd, who is heading the drive for both groups.
 Plans had been made to open the drive on the customary date of May l, National Children's day, but the opening date of the drive was pest poned to assure at least one week elapsing between the conclusion Of the Salvation Army solicitations and the beginning of the Scout drive.
 Money obtained will be invested in the local boys and girls and no part Of the funds will be used outside Of the Gastineau Channel; neither will any money be used to pay sal aries, rent, etc, except an amcun- sufficient to obtain a cook for the camp and a camp director. The re- mainder of the money will be in vested in camp expenses, camp im- provements and equipment neces- sary to improve and carry on the Scouting programs.
 An ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure is certainly an old saw, but one that holds good throughout the years and that is the rart the Scouting programs play in Juneau and other communities. Keeping boys and girls happily occu- pied in their leisure time, teaching them hobbies and developing vo- oational guidance interest; teaching loyalty, good citizenship. world citiz- cnship, self reliance; how to live with other children, etc, to prevent wasted lives and world conflicts is a tremendous preventative program, enc which Scouting is meeting nobly through the aid of every man and woman in the communities where scouting exists.
 Scout council members, leaders, committee members and other vol unteer workers give hundreds upon hundreds of hours of their time to keep the programs functioning.
 Once each year tie community is asked to join with these volunteers through financial investments in the future of these boys and girls, tha future of Juneau and the country as a whole.
 Volunteer Scout supporters will call at places of business and homes and it is hoped that all will respond as generously as possible. Also please remember that not one penny oi your money is sent outside of this community

Brownies Have Their Own LinIe Code of Honor, Too

The Brownie program is for little girls between the ages of eight and ten years, who then fly up from the Brownie horseshoe into the Girl Scout Circle. The Brownies have their own code of ethics as befits their ages ard interests.
 This phase of the Scouting pro- gram is one of the most worthwhile and one. to which there is enthusias- tic response. Brownies learn many things that are important to little girls and their leaders deserve a real thank you for the many hours of time they spend with the little girls and in preparation of the Brownie meetings.
 The importance of this program to members and prospective mem hers was delightfully."- shown in the New Yorker recently. A little girl had been accused of kicking another member of her class in school, but the response, and one which was convincing was On my honor as a waiting-list Brownie I did not do that"

IDEALS OF GIRL
 SCOUTS ARE HIGH SAYS MRS. GREEN
Members in Organizations in United States Make
 Their Own Promises

Every person, young or. old, whc tclcngs to the Girl Scout organiza tica believes, because she has ac- Cepted it of her own free will, in the ideals of the Girl Scout Prom ise," states Mrs. R S. Green. troop leader, The wording varies a little in different countries and in differ ent languages, but the meaning is always the same. The Girl Scouts in the United States make this promise:
 On my honor, will try:
 To 10 my duty to God and my oounsry,
 To help other people at all times,
 To obey the Girl Scout laws.
 It is easy to make a promise, T says Mrs. Green. but to keep one is difficult unless some thought has been given to the. meaning. In frcnt of the Girl Scout promise there are three words, on my honor. Hav- ing honor means having sense of what is right, just and true and showing it in daily actions. It means that girl ran be trusted to do her best. The next words are I will try. It is not the simplest thing in the world for a human be- ing to live up to this promise ev- cry day of the year But Girl Scout makes a sincere effort"
 Girl Scouts try to honor God in the finest way they know how, by the things they do and the things they say and think.
 They try to help other people by heing mindful of their needs. Many people fail to be helpful because they think of themselves first. Civ ing help docs not always mean money or clothes or food. Some times the thing a person needs most Is sign of friendliness. One of the reasons why a Girl scout want to learn to do great many things we'll IS so that she may be prepared to help ether people at all times.
 Tie Girl Scout laws are a code of honor by which Girl Scout measures her conduct. She uses this code as a daily reminder of the ways in which she would like to act so that she may be useful and re- spected in her community.
 When girl receives her pin she makes this promise and her trefoil CT thfee-leaf designed pin is an em- blem and reminder of this three field promise.

GIRL SCOUTING
 K BENEFICIAL
 IN MANY WAYS
Mrs. Alice Thorne Tells Just What Is Accomplished
 by Membership

Girl Scouting gives you a chance to do more of the things in which you are already interested and to plan gcod times with other girls and elaar friends explains Mrs. Alice Tkorne, badge activities chairman.
 Girl Scouts hike. camp and cook a meal in the out-of doors. They may sing, dance and plan a party. They learn to use their hands fashion bowl. carve wood, use a needle effectively and create their own designs. They find things in nature and in their community to interest them. They play games and develop skill in different sports.
 Whatever a person chooses to do it is usually more fun to work and play with others You cannot de- velop any sort of good team play by yourself. In Girl Scout troop, you share your good times and learn to know and understand girls that are different from your self. Learning to get on with other people so that you can enjoy working together is one of the greatest adventures in the world. Girl Scouts are interested in sister Scouts all over the United States ard in many other countries, as well as these in their own troop and community
 Mrs. Thorne also stresses that a selftreliant useful person can always enjoy life more than the person who does not know what to do for herself or for other people. As a Girl Scout you can prepare your self to add to the pleasure and com- fort of those around you and thus become a welcome member of any group.

 The trapped and frustrated Japanese garrison, which wan tonly set afire to the downtown business district along the Ese- olta, is practicing sabotage and destruction. which has no rela- tion to military operations.
 General MacArthur announced the flames scared from building to building and spread toward the ancient Billbid Prison. from which 800 prisoners of war and 500 civilian internees were freed by American troops on Sunday.
