This week we are dedieating this
page to the seth birthday of Girl
Scouting in the United States
Monday is girl scout day. On Mar
IL, 1912, Daisy Gordon gathered
together 10 young girls and or
ganized the first patrol OF Girl
Guides which later developed in
TO the girl scouts. This group of
girls met In an unused stable be-
longing to Daisy Gordon's aunt
Mrs. Juliette Low in Savannah,
Georgia. Mrs. Low had previously
met Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the
founder of Boy Scouting who be-
came interested in the girl guides
which was set up to do for girls
what boy scouting did for boys.
Other groups were formed in oth-
err cities and the headquarters
were moved to Washington in 49,
Is and the name changed to Girl
Scouts. The headquarters were
later moved to New York. In
1884 there were about $4,000 ac-
tive members, with troops in ev-
cry state, The anniversary of the
founding of the organization is
observed with special ceremonies.
The girl scouts are organized on
plan similar to that of the boys
scouts. Members are from ten to
sixteen years of age and troop
is formed with a minimum of Q
girls. Each troop is divided into
patrols with from four to eight
members. In June of 1915 the girl
scout organization was incorporat-
ed as a membership corporation

District of Columbia The girl
scout program is one program with

methods. Certain fundamentals in
the girl scout program have been
an integral part of the organiza-
tons life since its earliest begin
nings. Among them are the girl
scout promise and laws. These are
accepted by girl scouts the world
over as their code to live by They
indicate the qualities that cir !
scouts seek to develop, such as
loyalty, friendliness and helpful
ness The promise and laws are
planned to re-emphasize the ethi-
cal and spiritual values of church.
home and community. Brownie
scouts have a special promise and
senior scouts subscribe to the reg
ular promise. Each troop has at
least one adult leader who under
stands the objective of girl scout
ing and the possibilities of the
group for individual development.
The program is divided into 3
groups, brownie, intermediate girl
scouts and senior girl scouts. The
program activities cover the same
field of the three age levels, each
field representing present or
potential interest of girls such as,
agriculture, arts and crafts, COM
munity life, health, safety, home
making. international friendship,
literature and dramatics, music
and dancing, nature, sports and
games.
In greater Little Rock the girls
scouts are well organized with rs
troops and AZ trained leaders all
working under the fine leadership
of the executive field director,
Miss Bessie Ward. There are
three handicapped troops in the
set-up. The Little House, home Of
the girl scouts, is located at 1908
lizard. Many varied activities are
carried on in this little building.
The public is always invited to
come in and enjoy the wholesome
atmosphere found there. Among
the many services rendered to
the community the scouts Of this
city have on many occasion serv-
ed and prepared for small din

meetings with housing, transport

other services which are given en-
tirely without cost The scouts are
always ready to help someone
whenever called upon.
Tomorrow morning a pageant
will be held at the Little Rock
high school. A troop of Brownies
under the leadership of Mrs.

is:
SPRINGTIME
As ! walk along the pathway,
Trees are budding everywhere,
Early flowers are in blossom,
And their fragrance fills the air
Mother nature is so busy,
Turning things from brown to
green,
We can hear the breeze blowing,
And the ripping of the stream.
When song birds are sweetly
singing
Their sweet melodies clear,
Then we get a happy feeling
For We know that Spring is
here.

FRANKFURT, Germany Up
West Germany is back on it's feet
again and with quivering arches:
the reducing institutes are back in

Things got tough for the people
who fatten their bankrolls by
thinning Waistlines before the war.
Food became scarce, and anyway it
was unpopular to go around with

The reducing institute men be-
gan looking for new jobs. Then the
war came and lard on bread was
a treat. There wasn't a lot of that
either and some people had
trouble working up a shadow. Post
war troubles kept paunches below

reform in 1948 that people with
big appetites got up from dinner

Hay In Rain

HAMPDEN, Mass. = up - The
old adage about making hay while
the sun shines doesn't mean a thing
to Farmer Walter LabOdycz who
harvests 700 tons a year. He makes
hay while it rains, too. Says it's
even better that way.
The Labodycz family ..dopted the
different method of curing hay
during the rainy summer of 1945.
He decided to OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
five tons of hay in an unlined earth
en- trench. He says he was the
first farmer in New England to try
it.
The results, he reported after
ward, were highly satisfactory.
When he fed it out, he says, the
hay was lush and fresh, with all it's
nutriment retained. Now he stores
his entire 700-tOn harvest in this
way.

Federal Reserve Bank Of PhiIa-
delpbia Reports On ''Construc-
tiOn And Mortgage Finance
Under Partial Mobilization"

In most respects the atmosphere
will be favorable to a continued
high overall level of construction
and mortgage lending activity, ac-
cording to the August Business Re-
view of the Federal Reserve Bank
Of Philadelphia. A spot check made
by the Reserve Bank of local bull
cers, lenders, and real estate men
suggests that building prices and
costs are generally expected to re-
main fairly constant; materials,
except for certain metals, will not
be SO tight as to hamper building
activities; and the supply of mort
gage funds should be more plenti-
full by the end of the year.
In reviewing the trends of con-
structiOn and mortgage activity
since Korea, the article indicates
that the volume of building con-
tracts awarded during the first six
months of this year in the Third
Federal Reserve District, was about
in line with the experience for the
Nation as a whole. In the housing
field the decline in the number Of
dwellings started in the Philadei-
phia area has been more severe
than in the country as a whole.
During the first five months of the
year building starts locally were
about one-thiTd below a year ago,
compared with One-fifth nationally.
This is a reversal of the postwar
trend in which Philadelphia has ex-
perienced an exceptional rate of
home building compared with the
United States as a whole.
In an analysis of construction
and mortgage finance under partial
mobilization the Review describes
the various measures which have
been taken to divert materials and
labor to defense and to restrict nom
essential demands. Because the de-
mand for construction is particu-
larly sensitive to the quantity of
credit available and the terms OF
which it can obtained, efforts to
curb demand have entered largely
around credit. Regulation X and /
its companion restrictions in the
G GOyernment-insuTed and guaran- /
teed field work on the demand for
credit in the sense that they set up
certain reQuirments which bOr-
rOweTs must meC to get loans. In
contrast, the Federal Reserves (
general credit policies affect con-
S tructiOn demand principally +
through the supply of credit rather
than the demand for credit. /
Milford chronicle., 1951-08-31

Although Federal Reserve omen
market policy has been a major
factor contributing to a tighter sup
ply OF mortgage funds in recent
months, the article emphasizes
that the policy has not created a
shortage" The supply of mort
gage funds is short" only when
compared with the huge demand.
In reality, the Federal Reserves
action has tended to restore a more
natural situation in which the de-
mand for mortgage money is met
from funds which lending insti-
tutions obtain from their inflow of
savings and repayments of loans.
and this is still a large volume
judged by anything but boom stan
dards. In future months the supply
OF mortgage funds should be in
better balance with the demand for
funds as lending institutions absorb
their back commitments, as the
volume Of savings increases, and as
the demand for construction is
curtailed.
Other important methods of re-
stricting the demand for cOnstruc-
tiOn, according to the Business Re-
view, are the Voluntary Credit Re-
straint Program and the policies of
the Federal National Mortgage
Association. Provision for accele-
ration Of amortization for tax puT-
poses is one way of encouraging
demand for certain types of con-
structiOn essential for defense
while restraining overall demand.
The article points out that while
credit has been the principle instru-
ment for restricting the demand
for construction, the supply of con-
has been curtailed
through direct controls over ma
terials and by limitation orders.
Through July of this year the
of dwelling units started
in the country as a whole was 21
percent below the same period of
a year ago. Because OF the high
level of building activity early this
year it would be necessary for the
of building starts during
the rest of this year to decline 81
per cent below the same period OfI
last year in order to reach the
official goal of $4,000 units for the
entire, year. One clue, to the future
Is the figures on applications for |
FHA insurance and for VA ap-
nraisal requests; these indicate
at a level of only one
,ourth to two-fifths of a year ago.
