A SALUTE TO THE GIRL. SCOUTS

Early in March, 1912, Daisy Gordon and ten other young girls, gathered in a stable in Savannah, Georgia. That meeting resulted in the organization of the first patrol of Girl Guides.
 The Girl Guides, in time, be- came the Girl Scouts. The Girl Guides was begun at the sugges- tion of Mrs. Juliette Low, who married an Englishman and who had become acquainted with the beginning of the Girl Guides in. England.
 Mrs. Low maintained home in Savannah, Ga. and in London, and, therefore, she became ac- quainted with Sir Robert Baden Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts. Thereafter, she likewise became interested in the Girl Guides and when the Girl Guides headquarters was moved to Washington, D. c. the name was changed to Girl Scouts.
 Today there are hundreds of thousands of Girl Scouts and they are organized into troops, as are the Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts must go through the usual stages to be- come Golden Eagles, the highest Girl Scout award. Before young girl can become an Eaglet, she must move from Tenderfoot class ification to that of a second class. Scout. To be promoted to first class Scout, she must be able to make maps, judge heights, weights and distances, send code messages, swim and pitch a tent, and go on over night hikes into the country.
 In addition to all these things, merit badges, are given in the Girl Scouts for archery, athletics, bird knowledge, cooking, care for chill dren, dress-making, life-saving and so on. Girl Scouts are expect ed to do good turn for someone every day and are generally one of our most inspiring organiza- tionS for youngsters.
 We salute them on the anniver- sary of their founding and urge all citizens to support the Girl Scouts.

Although the three weeks of clothing classes held at the Ex- tension office have erded; you are welcome at any time to bring clothing problems to the office for help. Naturally, as Spring thaws arrive, we feel like crawl ing out from under our winter attire into new garb; ard if you sew, what a wide selection of ma terials you have to choose from this spring. Our synthetics have added more variety to the selec- ton. Not unusual to see orion, nylon, or dacron. alore or in blends or combination with our natural fibers and rayons.
 A recent survey of 1,l49 repre- sentative farm homemakerS in II western states showed that 88% did some home sewing. The Mon tana Experiment Station reports that sewing is one of the chief household activities of most homemakers. Only work con- cerned with getting meals and cleaning and care of the house take more of the homemaker's time than sewing and mending.
 The chief reason for home sew ing is to save money. Montana homemakers also added to this reason, to get better workman ship, better fit, and more individ- uality in clothes. Mending also is an important morey saver in many families. An hour spent in patching overaus or dress may double or triple the life of the garment, thus making this ore of the best paid hours of the day as far as the family budget is con cerned. If you don't sew or mend, perhaps the Extension Service can help yoU. In addition to our assistance, there are many fine bulletins which may be of help to you. Do stop in.

Mrs. Bacon, the prominent

Just who the ghosts might
have been is anyone's guess.

Budget Cut SIG Billion

started out with only $2.6 bill
lion.
In conference the Senators
yielded to the House on all but
Ia few items, and the final total
was only $50 million more than
the House had granted.
The big dispute in conference
was whether the new military
aid fund should be the $1.1 bill
lion requested by the President
and favored by the Senate, or
the $705 million favored by the
House.
The Senators gave in. on this
House cut of $420 million in new
money. but only because they
found that foreign aid officials
had an unexpended balance of
1902 million which was not
known until after the bill had
passed both houses. They offset
the cut In new money by allow
ing this balance to continue

Democrats engaged in some

Atlantic Union
By the Associated Press

Secretary of State Dulles today
came out in opposition to a
proposal in Congress that Presi-
dent Eisenhower call an explora-
tory conference to consider
establishing an Atlantic union.
Mr.. Dulles gave his views in a
letter sent to the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee which is
holding hearings on a resolution
sponsored by Senator Kefauver.
Democrat of Tennessee. and
Others.
The resolution would ask the
President to invite the countries
which sponsored the North At
|lantic Treaty to name delegates
to a meeting to explore the for
'mation Of "a defense, economic,
and political union"
Advocates of the resolution
point out that it does not call
for the actual establishment Of
the union but merely suggests
that a convention should con-
slider the idea.
Taking note of this argument.
Mr.. Dulles in a letter to COM
mittee chairman George, Demo-
crat of Georgia, said that eff
the invitation to the convention
were made by the President .
it would, I think, be inferred
that he had accepted the prac-
ticability and general desirability
Of some such union"
The letter continued, II would
question the wisdom of the Con-
gress seeming to put the Presi-
dent in that position at the
present time. I therefore venture
to suggest that if the Congress
desires that convention be held
-. a way be found to hold (it)
e. under less official auspices
than is now suggested"
Under the resolution, the
President would be requested
to invite delegates from the

tives Of their principal political
parties to meet with delegates

BY ]. A. OLEARY

The Senate today passed the
last of the 1856 appropriation
bills, with an announcement by
Senator Robertson, Democrat of
Virginia. that Congress has cut
$1.6 billion from the Eisenhower
budget.
The last money bill to clear
the Senate was the $93 million
legislative measure, carrying the
operating expenses for Congress.
It must still go to conference
with the House on amendments.
The legislative bill contains
S. million to begin the long
delayed extension of the east
front of the Capitol Building
and $8.5 million additional for
the new Senate Office Building
The Senate amended the bill to
limit the ultimate cost of the
east front Improvements to $40
million.
Aid Bill Clears
Meanwhile. the $2.7 billion
compromise foreign aid bill was
on its way to the White House
for signature. 1t cleared both
houses yesterday, carrying $500
million less than the President
requested.
Senator Robertson said the
Appropriations Committees made
a genuine attempt to economic
this year and said there is a
good chance the Federal budget
will be balanced next June if
current prosperity continues to
keep tax collections rising.
All that Congress has left to
do on the budget is to act on
differences between the two
houses in the $1.8 billion supple
mental catchall bill and the leg
islative bill.
House Conferees Prevail
The Senate voted originally
for $3.2 billion of new foreign
aid money. while the House
