 Girl Scouts throughout the United States, includuing the. Juneau-D Doug las Girl Scout Council, have receiv- ed word of appreciation from the U. S. Treasury department for mak- ing complete report of clippings from the local press, showing what publicity, through advertising matter and news stories, public meetings, etc, was given to the Sixth War Loan drive in their communities.
 Juliette Low, founder of the Girl scouts, IS famous ln every commun- ity in the United States where there is a Girl Scout council or a lone troop for the tremendous strides made through her efforts in the forming of international friend ships and understanding of each other by the girls in 32 different countries.
 So it is only fitting and proper that there be Liberty ship "The Juliette Low which has become real emissary for international friendship. This ship provides a link with the sister Scout and Guide organizations across the sea. Capt. O'Toole promises to fly the World Flag whenever the ship is in port and it is possible to do so. More over, he tells the Girl Scouts he al- ways tries to get in touch with the Girl Guide and Girl Scout organiza- tions in every port the ship enters.
