THE GIRL SCOUTS

The Girl Scout program in
Greensboro = Guilford county is
entirely supported by the Com
munity Chest and is now serving
600 girls of color annually. There
is a constant increase in our
population which assures us of
a vital need for additional units
over our present number of 33
troops to meet our ever growing
need of making better homes
with the misunderstanding pro-
gram of the Girl Scouts.
/ Only eight cents out of every
dollar contributed to the Com
munity Chest in Greensboro is
devoted to the development of
Girl Scouting. This fact SHOULD
cause those interested in the girls
of our community to increase
their contributions.

ROUNDUP DEPENDS

The quality and quantity of
Scouting that boys and young
men get depends largely upon the
packs, troops, and senior units.
That is why you unit leaders are
the key men. The national coun-
Gil, local councils, districts, and
Unit committees exist to support
your efforts in direct contact
with Scouts. That's why the 1947
Roundup - measured in better
Scouting for more Scouts - de-
pends on what YOU do. Starting
now, see that every Scout in your
unit is Informed, and given the
chance to win!

again. Once more Scouters, all
across the country! are preparing
to bring better scouting to the
boys of America, AS Packs,
Troops, and Senior Units start
their activity year, stock-taking
and planning for the coming
months are going ahead on ma
tion-wide scale. Over half a mil
lion men are getting set to carry
on Scouting in such a way that
over a million and a half boys
will ,be increasingly happy they
are Scouts and will want their
buddies to join them in hiking,
camping, and the rest of the
Scout program.
The desire to win is what
makes the American people
great. Being aware of this, here
is what your District has plan
ned for you-your chance to be

hesitate about putting them
selves forward where they are

where they haven't been invited?
How many have appeared volun-

year, asking to join? Does every
Scout have at least one friend
who is not a Scout? How many
of these friends would likely join

to meeting and an outdoor ac-
tivity? Do improvements in your
program and leadership indicate
that the strays could be brought

Economy Of Abundance

Anchorage Daily Tmes)
 SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE ANDERSON has proposed realistic farm program to succeed the time pricesupport seup It is based the theory that food should be grown in abundance and consumed the way
 This is quite departure from the present practice ot maintaining artificial high prices and dumping sur pluses as well as from the prewar economy of scarcity which paid farmers for lowering the food supply to match lowered buying power.
 MT Anderson would put floor under consumption and make some sort of food allotment program avail able at all times With such flexible setup neither temporary slump nor depression would have to lack of food for the poorly paid unemployed Farm could raise food in the knowledge that would be eaten Instead of paying the farmer for not producing the government would buy food for those who couldn't afford it.
 In additon the secretary would like to see this gov enter into agreements with other countries for the sale of food surpluseS at reduced prices It seems likely that MT. Andersons former Congressional colleagues will give his plan consideration when they start writing new farm bil
 There will be scarcity of hungry people in this world for some time to come In view of that unhappy prospect any thought of agricultural economy of scarcity would not only unreal but rather heart less.
 A government-panned food program costs money whether the money is spent to blow under little pigs support food prices, made food available free or at reduced cost to those who need it. But the last type of expenditure promises the most dividends.
 We may hope that America will never again see the bad times when, in Mr. Roosevelts words onethrd of a nation was ill-fed We may work to see that those times don't return But, though economic emergencies may be mnimized there is no guarantee that they be avoided entirely.
 Even if we succeed in keeping living standard at its present level there will be place for our surplus food in other lands And food today important fac tor in American diplomacy.
 Food is key chapter in the story of Americas world position today wellfed prosperous America sharing food with others will do much to sell doubtful peoples the American brand of democracy There's consider ably more nourshment for hungry European in loaf of bread made from American flour than in pound of ant-American propaganda leaflets.

 Of course the United States had the excuse for holding these that Russia France and Britain nave Our country was not devastated theirs There certain justice in forcing the Germans to rebuild and repair what they systematically destroyed Many of these prisoners however not used for that pur pose but arc employed miners farmers and, indeed to replace any labor shortage which may exist in the victorious nations In France and dOubtn Russia too they have become less essential to the national economies In Germany itself in all the of occupa

 ian prisoners of held in Russia died throws sinis- ter light on those conditions.
 Moreover, it is extension, whether by design or not of the brutal Naz policy of draining enemy states of their manpower and thereby reducing their national birth rates In Germany today there is shocking pusage of women and corresponding shortage of men, leading inevitably to moral degradation Every day that her war prisoners are withheld from their homes and wives weakens the coming German generation and may do so beyond repair.
 Liberal voices in the United States England and even in France which has little sympathy to waste Ger many have been raised against this policy It is sign cant that they have finally penetrated the Moscow ference. The fact that the whole subject under view there raises the hope that repatriation of German war prisoners will be promptly speeded

Public Welfare Board Reports
 Cuts Necessary

meTnDer OI AldSkd DOdTU O1 Public Welfare has recently re- turned from the Boards annual meeting held at Juneau in late April. When interviewed by the Nome Nugget, MT. Lyng gave the following statement for release to the people of Nome and the Sec ond Division.
 Faced with inadequate appro- priations for the operation of its programs under mounting costs of living, the Board of Public Vel fare, at its recent Juneau meeting ordered a sharp curtailment of its activities for the next two years.
 This will mean retrenchment in old age assistance tpensionS), gen. eral relief, including hospitaliza- ton and medical care; aid to de- pendent children and care of chil- dren under the Juvenile laws. Old Age Assistance tpensions) It was determined by the Board, that l413 persons were receiving Old Age Assistance (pensions) at an average of $45.l0 a month per person, of which the Territory pays g per cent, 48 per cent com ing from federal grants. Under its appropriation from the last legis- lature, the, Board found it would be unable to maintain this level of payments for the next two years; so a fixed basic standard of ,, need was established, effective May l, to limit assistance pay ments to bare necessities of food, shelter, fuel and clothing. The Board also ordered a com plete review of all cases coming under the Old Age Assistance (pension program, in order to re- duce assistance payments to cover only those above specified items of need.
 i With the costs of necessities of life constantly rising, the Board realized the adjusted program would bring hardship in many cases, but under the circumstances it had no other alternative but to impose restrictions.
 Children's Program
 Under the Aid to Dependent Chil- dren program, the Board found it had 590 children receiving assist ance at an average of $500 per month per child. These are chill dren who have no means of SUD- port due to death of one or both parents, or abandonment by the bread-winning parent. They are placed by the Board, through the Dept. of Public Welfare, in foster homes, boarding schools and other institutions.
 The funds for this purpose come through appropriation by the leg islature. This Aid to Dependent Children Act of the 1945 Legisla- ture, includes both native and white children, the proportion at | present being approximately 12O white and 470 native children. Prior to 1945, only white children came within the provisions of the law.
 Despite this large increase of dependent children in the past two years and indications that an- other 200 will become eligible in the coming two years. the lepis-
