GIRL
SCOUT
NEWS

A course in Leadership Training
for Intermediate Girl Scouts has
been conducted this week by Mrs.
Dewey Bowker at the Community
Room. Mrs. Bowker attended the
Volunteer Trainers Course at Hay
den Lake, Ida, in October and is
thereby qualified to conduct train
ing courses in severalphases of Girl
Scouting and to issue Leadership
Training Certificates to all leaders
who complete the courses.
This first eight-hour course was
given for experienced intermediate
leaders and met with their enthus-
iastic approval.
Similar courses will be offered at
a later date for Brownie leaders
and Troop committee members.
1t is the aim of the Girl Scout
Association to offer every participa-
ting adult the advantage of a train
ing course. The purpose of these
is to help prospective lead
ers to gain the knowledge, skills,
and confidence they need to carry
out the Girl Scout program with
girls in their own troops. Help on
the problems common to all leaders
of girls groups-how to know and
girls, how to start and
develop activities, how to get in
teresting people to share their hob
bies with the girls, and how to de-
velop good troop rganization-is
included. These courses and the
leaders, meetings afford
opportunity for demonstrations
group and individual participation
n program activities, and group dis
,ussionS.
1t is a distinct advantage to the
Girl Scout movement in Libby to
nave a Volunteer Trainer available
At all times, and it is a situation that
las long been desired.

.Wor Claims Comm.
Warns Ex-Prisioners

Warnings to ex-prisoners of wal
and internees were issued today by
Daniel F. Cleary, Chairman, of the
War Claims Commission In issuing
the warning he said "The Com
mission has already discovered sew
eral cases where claimants have
been victims of racketeers and we
are doing everything in our power
to stop such frauds"
Under the War Claims Act OF
l948, military personnel held pris-
Toner in any theater and certain
American civilian citizens who were
.internees of the japanese may be
entitled to compensation for their
confinement. Even before the Act
was passed by the Congress, Chair
man Cleary explained, Certain
promoters, gyp artists, and assorted
grafters began their INSCRIPTIONS
operations"
We have evidence that many in
dividuals and groups of persons
have been established to supply
help to claimants-for a price. Some
If these groups have assumed titles
which might easily be confused wit
he name of the War Claims Com
mission. All forms of assistance
nave been offered, from the filling
out and filing of forms to the actua
sale of the forms and instructions,
Cleary declared. AT the present
time there have been no forms of
any type issued by the Commission.
When forms and instructions arc
available, we hope that they will
be simple enough so that no he'll
will be needed in filling them out
No claims will be processed for
unless they are submitted
on the official forms approved by
the Commission. These official forms
will be free and will be made avail
able to all eligible claimants under
the War Claims Act"
Chairman Cleary revealed that in
most cases of exploitation of clai1
mants uncovered to date the offer
10 help is accompanied by a demand
for filing fee, retainer, or an ex-
high percentage agree
nent. There is no charge for filing
claims with the War Claims Com
mission or for any part of the pro-
,eSsing of claims by the Commits
zion. All evidence indicating shady
operations with respect to war
claims is being referred by the Com
mission to the u. S. Department of
Justice and U. S. Post Office auth
,rities for appropriate investigative
lction and prosecution.
AS a final word of advice to
claimants, Chairman
Ileary said, wait until you re-
GIVE our forms through proper
hannels. Then fill them out and
eturn them to us Any help you
nay need will be available free of
barge. All the major veterans or
LIMITATIONS stand ready to render
ny assistance you may require. If
'ou feel that you must hire an at
orney, be sure he is a reputable
member of your community. You
iced not have any dealings with
'eople who solicit your business"

added that he believed these of

dentists, should be rented by the
professional men who use them.
The doctor believes by this arrange

certainly facilitate handling any
medical problem including consul

lens. 1t would be more convenient

P. S. He walked back one and
a half miles leading the horse.

it looks like the old one with

the difference between this one
and the old is-this one is weld
ed and the other was wired. We
will say this much, the lot looks
better without that old wreck
and we are glad to see that Dick
Tracy Boiler bought a new
wreck. (Young will have to buy
one someday) Why the red
wheels, Tom? Are you going to
become the fire chief?
Dora Tesch told some of us
about the Champs" trip down

Lite. I am in agreement with
the policies of the UAW- -CIO,
for the employer is trying to
rob the employees in order to
cut the cost for the buying mar
ket. But their profits must sore
every year higher and higher.
Why don't they bid for a job at
a reasonable price, not blame it
on the workers for losing a
order. If they were reasonable
they could get plenty of orders.
Will the Auto-Lite pull out of
Toledo and take their work to
theCincinnati plant? No doubt,
eventually they will, for when
we pulled out of the intercorpo-
ration lat summer, we lost our
right to protect us from such a
situation that now exists. So |
hope that the workers will take
more time and study the situa-
ton that exists at our plant as
we'll as the Ford Plant.
