Following is list of the leaders
who meet and work with your Girl
Scout and Brownie Troops each
week:
Girl Scouts: Miss Virginia Gray,
Troop 108; Mrs. Frank Lynch,
Troop 80: Mrs. Parker Hitch,
Troop 78; Mrs. Clement Nevins,
Troop 83; Miss Janet Lofand,
Troop g.; Mrs. Charles Lundstedt,
Troop So.
Brownies: Mrs. Clyde wilkins.

cry, Troop 13; Mrs. Claude Lynch,
Troop 1856; Mrs. Dorothy Rathmell,
Troop 18O; Mrs. Joe Moore, Troop
IS; Mrs. Roy Reichhold, Troop 10.
It is rather overwhelming to
contemplate the untold hours the
leaders of our troops have devoted
to Girl Scouting this year. A SIM
pie thank you" from parents and
girls isn't nearly enough. The only
thought that helps here is the
realization that those leaders didn't
do their work for thanks-they did
it for the girls.
Our thanks must also 60 to the
Troop Committee Members; to the
chairmen, whose job it is to keep
The troop affairs running smooth
ly; to the member in charge of f.
nance, to those in charge of solv-
ing transportation problems; to
those in charge of the out-of-door
activities; and to the publicity
chairman whose JOB il is to see
that the news of troop activities
reaches this column.
Our Neighborhood Team this
year was very active and very
helpful. Some members of the
team were able to attend the three
training sessions held for them in
Denton. Our secretary, Mrs. Eurie
Savage, has most efficiently car
ried out her work. Our three troop
consultants: Mrs. Parker Hitch,
Mrs. Roy LaFontaine and Mrs. Fin
ley Jones, have worked hard as
advisors to their assigned troops,
calling meetings to help the lead
ers, answering their questions and
keeping their troops informed of
Neighborhoo1 plans. They made
sure each leader under them knew
what was expected of her and gave
assistance and information to help
her get the job done.
These three volunte srs t0Gk
tremendous load oft the shoulders
of the NeighbOrhood Chairman and
really deserve our heartfelt thanks.
Our thanks also go to our troop
organized, Mrs. Frank Lynch, who
has helped our troops t6 organize
this spring instead of waiting until
the fall. Those which are organized
now will be ready to take advan-
tage of the fall weather to get
some outdoor cook-outs and hikes
instead of wasting these months
just getting organized.
Mrs. Lynch was also able to at
tend a training session in Denton
and brought back some very use
full information for our whole
.neighborhood. Next year under a
larger Council area, we can hope
for even more help from our Coun-
Gil.
Last, but really in position of
honor, come our two Neighborhood
Publicity Chairmen: Mrs. Roy La
Fontaine and Mrs. William Huyler.
During the first part of the year,
Mrs. LaFontaine collected and edi-
ted our Girl Scout news for our
column in the Milford Chronicle,
and in April Mrs. Huyler took over
the job. Thanks to both of them

Of steel in most building develop

wonder if it ever would have been

Judicial Tyranny Not Law of the Land

AT least considerable doubt as to the validity
of that boast
The tyrannical state Of mind Of the Su-
preme Court is applauded by the liberals"
But we remind our readers Of the rising
storm of criticism against the nine arrogant
men. over the last few years the Supreme
Court has been nbbling away at the laws
Congress and the states have passed to pro-
tect this country against communist sub
version. Patriotic Americans in all sections
Of the country have said that the nine men
on the Supreme Court have no right to strip
the United States of defenses against the
international Soviet conspiracy.
Important cases. which have bearing on
this country'S right to control subversion,
will be heard by the Supreme Court this
year. If the Supreme Court rules as it has
in times past, a storm of criticism may
strike the court
The conditions Of modern life are such
that individuals find it difficult to effec-
lively challenge tyrannical government.
But the tides of opinion can sweep even the
most arrogant men from power.
When, liberty-loving citizens in the North
feel the effects Of the courts rage for pow
en- the South will gain relief For the pres
ent Southerners must suffer. In time the
country will come to its senses and appre-
ciate the patriotic struggle Of our region.

BabsOn Discusses Aluminium

En- route home from Cape Town.
Nov 70, | have written a column
on gold and another on copper:
but another industry which may
b c N G very important is the
aluminium Industry.
How Aluminium Is Made
This metal is obtained from a
clay known az bauxite but it is Of
no use unless a large quantity of
cheap electric power is nearby
7 hi $ combination requires vast
capital investments. Only electri-
CITY will separate the metal from
the clay at satisfactory cost.
Several countries have bauxite.
but not the cheap power.
In Northwest Africa this com
bination has been found near the
seacoast. which is also an adj
vantage. Such an electric power
plant IS now being built. witt
cheap African labor at $40 i
m n h, this should enable the
Aluminium Company OF America to
produce and transport in its own
steamers the cheapest aluminium
IN the world. I am now recon-
mending no stocks in this market
but if a reader wants an alumni
mum stock as an investment not
for speculation believe he would
do better TO buy Alcoa than the
stock Of any competitor.
What About Gravity?
As most readers know, l am
much Interested in discovering
partial insulator Of gravity. Such
a discovery would not only be
great blessing to everyone in time
of peace. but the nation which first
makes this discovery should be the
winner of World War III if it ever
