Girl Scouts

There were approximately thirty
members present at the regular
monthly meeting last Thursday even
ing of the Washington County Girl
Scout Leaders Association. The
meeting was in charge of the newly
elected president, Mrs. Norman Pur-
nell.
After quite lengthy discussion,
plans were made for the girl scouts
of this locality to participate in the
Santa Claus, Incorporated" project.
The girls will collect toys from
friends and neighbors repair them
and contribute them for final distri-
button by Santa Claus, Inc. The lead
ers have been asked to stress that
the girl scouts will concentrate on
dolls to be repaired and redressed
for presentation, but all toys in good
condition will be acceptable The
finished products are to be sent to
the Girl Scout Headquarters, 81 S.
Prospect, and should be at that To-
cation not later than December 10.
1916. Mrs. Harold Porter has com
plete charge of the project and any
information regarding the Santa
Claus, Inc. plan may be obtained
from her.
The leaders voted in favor of a
Sectional Training Course to be given
leaders from the immediate vicinity
and nearby towns. Frederick, Md.
was suggested as the most central 10
cation for such training meeting TO
be held, but nothing definite has been
decided as yet.
Christmas Caroling was discussed
and it was decided to allow the de
cision of whether to have caroling In
one large body as whole, or divide
the group into various sections and
carol several parts of the town at
once, to be made by the Girl Plan
ming Board. This will be the topic
of discussion at the next girl plan
ming board meeting to be held No
vember Is, at 4 p. m. in the Girl
Scout office.
Final and complete copies of the
Girl Scout Leaders Association con-
stitution were distributed to leaders
and their assistants who were pres
en-. Members who did not receive a
copy of the constitution are request
ed to contact Miss K. McCulloch at
the Office, for their copy.
A very interesting and constructive
demonstration in the art of basket
weaving was given to the group by
Mrs. Goodloe. Several of the leaders
are learning basketry in order to
present the art to their troops as a
project for the coming year.
1t was reported by the leaders of
Brownie Troop No. 8, Mrs. B. J. Ha-
gedon and Mrs. K. McElroy, that the
girls had participated in a most en-
joyable hike to Pangborn Park last
week. Mrs. Pauline Healey and
daughter, Sandra, were welcomed
back into the troop activities. Mrs.
Walter J. Selser has kindly consent
ed to act as new committeewoman
for this troop. Constance Nugent, has
been added to the roll of Troop No
8. The brownies of the troop have
begun work on their sheIlcraft jew
elry as Christmas gifts for their
mothers.
All other troops are busy practis-
ing Christmas Carols and making
gifts in preparation for the holiday
season, which promises to be quite
gala in scouting.

during the summer months with

Old Salter Employees Honored
At Recognition Banquet Friday

is reflected in increased produc-
ton, higher quality of products
and deliveries made on time," he
declared.
The Salter plant personnel, as
reflected by the group present for
Fridays banquet, is of unusually
high calibre in every respect, the
speaker declared, adding: 'The
position which your plant and its
product holds in its field is re-
Elected by this quality"
Concerning employment rec
ords, Mr.. Buescher pointed out
that one of the first things pros
pective employer seeks is a rec
ord of steadiness. The man who
jumps from job to job, no matter
what alibi for leaving the last one
may be, is not considered a good
prospective worker, and he COM
plimented the Salter group on the
high proportion of them who are
eligible for the "old timers pro-
posed club.
I'LL Years Service
The older employees can be a
steadying influence on the young
er and newer workers, he pointed
out, and encouraged his listeners
to help others along the right
road toward steady employment.
Seated at the speakers table
were some of the older Salter en-
ployees, including four with 30
year records, William Brown,
Thomas Myers, Walter Stephens
and Weldon Raines. Mr.. Bishop
announced that a total of 1876
years employment was repre-
sented at the speakers table,
while the entire group had a to-
tai of I'LL years of service to the
company.
Following Mr.. Buescher's ad-
dress, Mr.. Bishop, assisted by w.
r. Huffman, plant production sup
erintendent, handed out certifi-
Gates and pins to all employees
present. The pins are of special
design, bearing the number of
years the employee has been as
sociated with the company. Those
for employees of five to 10 years
had a pearl set in them, while
the 10 to 20 year group has sap
phire and pins for employees with
more than 20 years have a ruby
mounted in them.
Telegrams Received
Mr.. Bishop also announced that
it had been planned to present
each employee with a bill-fold,
but due to transportation diff
culties during the coal strike, the
bill folds did not arrive. They

Service pins and certificates
were presented to 80 employees
of the H. B. Salter Manufactur-
ing CO. at recognition banquet
held in the basement of the First
Presbyterian church Friday even
ing. An excellent turkey dinner
was served by the ladies of the
church.
Although confessing that he is
not yet eligible for membership
because he has not yet been with
the Salter firm long enough, H.
E. Bishop, personnel manager of
the company, who served as toast
master for the program, suggested
that those present form an "Old
Timers" club similar to that in
other plants.
Among other things, you can
hold an annual banquet to accept
and initiate new members" Mr..
Bishop pointed out, adding that
such a group can do a great deal
of good besides serving as a SOC
ial group. 1t was his suggestion
that the veteran employees pres
ent Friday think over becoming
a permanent organization and set
up its own officers later on.
Personnel Man Speaker
Principal speaker was Vic A.
Buescher, manager of technical
and office personnel at the
Thompson Products co. Cleveland
plants. One of the nations fore
most figures in the field of plant
personnel relations, Mr.. Buescher
gave an excellent talk in which
he traced the development of per-
sonnel work in industry.
Like everything else in the way
of industrial progress, personnel
work has met with much oppos-
ition, he declared. At one time, he
pointed out, other corporate Of
ficers and stockholders object
ed to a sale department as an un-
necessary expense. 1t was not un-
til sales work began paying div
idends in increased business that
this opposition was stilled. Per-
sonnel work has had a similar re-
ception, he avowed.
Mr.. Buescher told the results
of a six months survey which he
and three professors have been
making concerning qualities of
what they consider good" en-
ployees. These include such things
as appearance, attitude, cooper
alton, loyalty, spirit, etc.

POLICE, FIREMEN'S SCHOOLS
PLANNED FOR LOCAL FORCES

Several items of routine busi-
ness were discussed by Village
Council during its regular meet
ing, Thursday night, including
preliminary action for police and
firemen's training schools for To-
cal officers.
F. G.. Bittikofer, chairman of
the fire, property and police COM
mittee, pointed out that schools
for firemen are conducted by the
State Fire Marshals office, while
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton has similar arrangements for
policemen. 1t was his suggestion
that these facilities be obtained
for the Marysville departments.
Councilman G.. L. Kingsmore
moved that Mr.. Bittikofer be
given authority to make arrange

ted to submit proposals on all
three projects, but the town is
not in any way obligated thereby.
Members of the Board of Trus-
tees of st. Johns Lutheran church
in the Settlement met with Coun-
Gil to discuss fire protection for
the church and school. Upon mo-
ton of Mr.. Kingsmore, the fire,
property and police committee
was given authority to draw up a
suitable contract with the Church
representatives.
Resolution of the Board of
Public Affairs, fixing sewer rent

ing for remuneration to be paid to
the employees of the Village of
Marysville in addition to their
regular salaries and wages" was
passed by Council under suspen-
sion of the rule requiring three
readings.
Inasmuch as only one bid had
been received for the proposed
new fire truck up to meeting time,
action on this matter was post
poned until after Jan. /. Likewise
a bill for S100 from R. Devine &,
Son for rental of the parking lot
on E. Sixth street, was tabled un-
til the next meeting. This lot has
heretofore been rented by the vii
lage for $40 per year.

ceipts through his office for the

ed. Revenue amounted to S50450
of which $3.50 was from parking
meter fines. Other fines during
the month amounted to S382.50
