On Monday, April 21, Brownie
Troop No. 1856, under the leader
ship of Mrs. Claude Lynch, had
very pleasant and interesting trip
to W.K.S.B. We want to thank Mr.
Charles Lundstedt for tour OF the
studio and his explanation of the
various kinds of equipment. The
Brownies seemed fascinated by the
teletype machine. We also saw
their library of records, and en-
joyed watching and listening to Mr..
Steve Hood as he reported the news
at 3:55. 1t seemed remarkable to
the girls that at the same time they
were watching Mr.. Hood, his voice
was going oyer the radio into prob
ably thousands of homes. Mr. Lund-
stedt also permitted each Brownie
to try on the earphones and listen
to broadcast which Mr. Hood was
doing.
The girls left with a souvenir of
their trip, a strip of paper from
the teletype with the days news
printed on it.
1t is so nice to know that there
are people who are interested
enough to show the Brownies and
Scouts how various operations are
carried on in the Community.
On Wednesday, April 23rd, the
Girl Scouts of Troop No. So elected
new patrol leaders. After we COM
pleted our elections we talked on
good table manners. We all learned
a great deal. We also talked about
different foods to keep in food cab
inets for quick delicious meals to
serve those unexpected guests.
These things helped us toward our
badge.
