FINAL
Girl Scout
Fund Drive Set
For March 18th

The Girl Scout finance cam
paign has been set for March IL
to coincide with the Girl Scouts
45th birthday.
In honor of their 45th birthday
and for the wonderful job they
are doing for the young girls OF
the community, a group of civic
minded businessmen have offered
their services to the Girl Scouts,
to help in the finance campaign
this year. These businessmen will
meet at the Girl Scout Cabin the
morning of March 18th and from
there will canvass the business
area to collect contributions for
the Girl Scout program.
In addition to the business, the
girl scout leaders have organized
a group of ladies who will make
a house to house campaign in the
residential reas.
A budget of $1,000 has been set
for the 1857 girl scouting pro-
gram in Sidney and an inten-
sive effort is being made to raise
at least that amount so that a
more effective training program
can be conducted. A leader train
ing program has been scheduled
for Montana this year and 1t is
hoped that the Sidney Girl Scout
leaders will be able to take adj
vantage of it as leader training
is very essential to a good scout
ing program.
A group of local Girl Scout
leaders and a Girl Scout will
be on the KUMV-TV "News AS
1 See 1t" program next Monday
evening, March 18th. They will
have a very interesting message
on Scout work. Be sure to watch
for it.

Scouts is a contribution for bet
ter citizens of tomorrow, for
your community and your cOun-
try. Contribute generously.
