as Dot, to SO many of us, has given
many uncountable hours towards
her Girl Scout Work since moving
to Milford, in 1858, She is the mo-
ther of three children and is a
substitute teacher at school, having
taught full time at the Milford
Kindergarten during the seasons
of 1953-54 and 1954-55. Her volun-
tary work is also divided between
her church and the hospital. She
is the new president of the Shaw
nee Evening Home Demonstration
Group and last year she was Lit
erary Chairman of the New Cen
tury Club, having won first prize
III the state book review contest
Mrs. Lundstedt's work in scouting
is a little more varied, at present
than just being leader of Troop
No. So. She is a member of the Pen
insula Girl Scout Council Board,
which meets in Denton every other
month, and she has been made a
member of the committee to inves-
tigate the extending of council
coverage. Her election as neighbor-
hood chairman of the recently or
ganized Neighborhood Association
is the beginning of another chal-
lenge for her. Troop 108 also
claim her as their assistant leader.
They are the senior scouts of Mil
ford, and Mrs. Lundstedt was their
leader for three years of their
scouting. Troup No. So is made up
of Is intermediate scouts in the
3rd year. They are planning many
pleasant adventures to embark on,
but probably the most exciting
plans that the girls are beginning
to make have to do with trip to
Mexico. 1t will be two or three
years project and the girls will
have to work hard to achieve their
goal, but with leaders like Mrs.
Lundstedt and the members of
the troop committee to guide them
we are sure the girls will make
their trip.
One of the first year Brownie
Troops under the leadership of
Mrs. Roy Buchhold and Mrs. Doro-
thy Denny, in keeping with the,
quote, Service to Others" theme

been visiting Mrs. Adelheid Her.
man. The Past two Saturdays the
Brownie Troop has gone to the
Herman residence and has planted
a tulip garden which Mrs. Herman
will be able to enjoy watching
grow. Each girl is making a
Thanksgiving card to send to Mr..
and Mrs. Herman.
Troop No. So went to the Library
on Thursday afternoon to set up
the new books that were to be on
display for Book Week.. Mr.. Ed
sells Boy Scout Troop set the
chairs up in the auditorium so the
children attending on Friday after
noon after school could sit and
listen to stories.
Friday afternoon Mrs. 1. G. Bur-
ton told three stories and some
poems to large group of children,
many who were Brownies and Girl
Scouts in uniform. Then they went
to the library and enjoyed looking
through the new books, some for
nursery, elementary and teenage
groups.
We would like to correct the
name of the cookie chairman stated
two weeks ago. Mrs. Frank E. APP
pei. of Lincoln, Delaware, we
apologize to you. 1t is inspiring
when someone will accept chair
man of such a large project and
we feel credit should go where 1T
is due. We know you will do a
fine job for our Neighborhood this
year. Mrs. Appel has no phone but
can be reached at the above ad-
