Girl Scout Cookie
Sale Gets Start

The National Girl Scout Cookie
Sale gets under way March 4.
Although the Girl Scouts re-
ceive their funds from the Com
munity Chest, the cookie sale is a
necessary means of financing
more than half their costs.
This is such a rapidly growing
area, what with 13 troops and
plans for six more, your support
of the cookie sale is needed more
than ever. Each Girl Scout in the
neighborhood has been assigned
definite area, so be on the lookout
for the cookie salesgirls.
Incidently, if you are interested
in your daughter becoming a Girl
Scout or Brownie, or if you would
like to take any of the leadership
courses being offered, please con-
tact any of the following women
for information: Mrs. Elizabeth
Hipsley, 10. 5-2624, Glenmont
School; Mrs. Willard Jones, VIII
6-8452, Weller Road School; Mrs
Sherman ]. Rees, VIII. 6-7734,
Connecticut Ave. Park School.
Not only is the area mushroom
ing, but so are the girls. The Girl
Scouts now have a used uniform
outlet. An excellent idea to this
reporter. Please call Mrs. Miriam
Bosen, VIII. 6-5762 if you would
care to list an outgrown uniform
or if you are interested in obtain
ing one.

Warning against premature op-

high hopes that this vaccine will

full plans for a vaccine program,
so that we will be prepared to

by the Federal Government this
spring the National Foundation,
which financed the research that
made its development possible,
will turn it over to State Health
Officers for use without charge
for the product. If used, it will
not be another test but the first
use of a newly-established pre-

Purchase of enough vaccine for
eligible children in our State by
the March of Dime organization
has enabled pharmaceutical man

in production during the waiting

vaccine also will be available to
physicians through usual chan

cenSed.
1.-THE administration of three
shots of vaccine to so many chill

mendous task, requiring the CO.
operation of parents, health, and
educational officials, physicians,
nurses, and many other volun-
teers," DR.. Riley said. 81 am sure
that the necessary cooperation

approximately 100000 children in
the first and second grades of all
public, private and parochial

Sufficient vaccine for these

Riley explained. These children
are in highly susceptible age
brackets and can be readily or
ganized> for vaccination before
schools close.
1--WE don't know yet if the Salk
vaccine is effective. We await the
evaluation report of DR.. Thomas
Francis, Jr., of the University of
Michigan in April. But we must
make our plans now for possible
usage to protect as many children
as possible before this years polio
season. If we waited to organize
until after the report, we would
not have time to make the neces-
sary arrangements. We must get
ready now, so no time will be lost

The Ground Observer Corps
acts as warning system against

function is to relay messages to
proposed centers if any low flying
planes are spotted. These posts
are manned on a 24-hour duty
basis.
If all goes well, the new post
will be completed by April Is. All
of these plans were revealed the
other evening by Charles Tower,
Bethesda Area Superintendent for
the GOO. to a group of represen-
tatives of all the active organiza-
tons in Wheaton and Glenmont.
Admiral Hartwig, Civil Defense
Director for Montgomery County
and Colonel Paul H. Griffith, Di-
rector of the Ground Observer
Corps for the County were pres
ent along with Paul Golovato,
Chairman Connecticut Avenue Es-

The big job ahead is neither
breaking ground nor building the
post. The materials are to be sup
piled by Suburban Maryland
Builder Association and the labor
is to be furnished by Jack Kay
Builders.
MIR. Tower minced no words in
outlining the major jobs to be
done in the future to make this
C. o. c. Post a success. People
are needed for two hour shifts
regularly. It's that old fashioned
plugging away day in and day
out.
From the group assembled I'm
sure it will be success. There
was a great deal of enthusiasm
for the Wheaton post and many
questions were asked of Admiral
Hartwig and Mr.. Tower.
GOO. awards wings to its vol.
unteers that can be worn in pub.
lie at any time. 1t only takes two
hours to learn any of the jobs
assigned. Plane spotting is the
simplest to learn according to the
men who spoke.
Ladies, get this! The women
folk are desperate needed. Ad-
miral Hartwig stated that no post
could be successful without the
aid of the female sex. The day.
time shifts, the tremendous
amount of paper work involved
depend largely upon the time and
effort the housewives can spare
from their daytime chores.
There are plans for another
meeting. So be sure to follow
your newsletters of your various
organizations. or this column fol
