For this reason, students TAX

Teen-agers with no particu-

pont Circle underpass.
Mr.. Rideout doesn't accept

don't believe IN giving them a

Mr.. Wolk, like others in the

they can find, put in applica-
tions at agencies and then per-
sonally seek job interviews.
Don't depend on anyone to

June Is, teen-ager will be on
full-time duty at a desk at the

The council handles jobs
through Is recreation centers

than 5000 teen-agers were
placed. Sometimes the part

Be on the lookout for new
businesses opening. Check job
possibilities in your own neigh

found sumner jobs through rela-

parents.
Be sure and let your per-

cause they're huskier. The pay

Mr.. Wegman also claims it's
easier for a college student to
get a summer job. THE em-
ployers feel the college kid is
trying to get through school,
whereas the high school kid
wants date and car money" he

Most of the jobs Mr.. Wegman
sees for the teen-ager are in
a sales clerk capacity (85 cents

State Farm Ins. Co.
Fights Recession

Nine thousand banks .:nd the ma
tion's largest auto insurance COM
pany have joined in an anti-reces-
sion measure aimed at boosting
sales of new and used cars.
Half a million dollars will be
spent by State Farm Mutual Auto
mobile Insurance Company to
stimulate car sales through a pro-
gram developed by the company
and cooperating banks throughout
the nation, according to Adlai H.
Rust, president of the Illinois firm.
State FARMS local agent, Bill
Craig, said that Milford Trust COM
pany and The First National Banl
are the banks in this area which
are cooperating in the program.
A heavy advertising cempaign in
newspapers, magazines and over
network teleyision viii describe
the bank plan" to U. 8 consum-
ers. Rust said the plan will ease
financial arrangements for pros
pective buyers and can reduce the
net cost of an automobile by SIS
to as much as $500.
High financing and insurance
package deals have helped keep
auto prices out of reach for many
buyers" Rust said. "The bank
plan combines the lowest fnanc-
ing and insurance rates available
in the nation today
The plan was first developed in
1850, he said.
when the showdown in car
sales led the economy into this re-
cession, we decided to back the
bank plan with an all-out cam
paign, and we have interrupted our
normal advertising program to do
this he pointed out.
The campaign opens this month
with double-page advertisements
in three of the nations largest
magazines (Life, Look, Readers
DigestJ. The company will also de-
scribe the plan on it's weekly net
work television show (CBS-TV's
Baseball Game of the Week, Sat
urdays). State Farms $500 agents
throughout the country will carry
the bank plan messages to local
markets with advertisements in
local newspapers and other media
Rust emphasized that his COM
pany has no financial interest in
automobile financing, and under
takes only the insurance portion OF
the transaction. Under the plan, a
prospective buyer telephones any
State Farm agent, who arranges
financing at straight bank rates
through any one of the 5000 CO.
operating institutions.
"In this way, the agent simply
acts as the representative of the
buyer, making all necessary ar
rangements and giving him compe-
tent guidance through the some
times puzzling maze of automobile
| financing" Rust said. THE bank
plan makes availablei to the con-
sumner public a staff of men trained
to protect the buyers interest"

has agreed to do her best to get
your news to you and to the pub
lie. 1t is your news that makes
this column, and your activities
that present picture to the public
of what girl scouting is and of the
many advantages scouting offers a
girl. No matter how small your
project, it is very important to the
girls involved, so help them to be
proud of being a girl scout, by
letting us know what they are do
ing.
| The Milford Neighborhood Asso-
citation of Girl Scouts met with
their neighborhood chairman, Mrs.
Charles Lundstedt for coffee on
Monday, April IA. Many items of
business concerning all local troops
were discussed, and a complete re-
port will be given at a later date.
All registered adult girl scouts are
voting members of this association,
and when a meeting is called it is
not for. the purpose of association
business, but for the business of all
citation. Therefore it is so very
important for all eligible members
to be present and take part in any
discussions that will involve the
welfare of the girl scouts of Mil
ford and the decisions made will
be those of the majority present
All troops are reminded that they
are requested to be organized for
next fall before May 80. Plans for
next year should be filled in. on the
Iplanning sheet and leaders and
committee members should be Sc
4 lected. The planning sheet will be
sent to eshe Council office and will
be the guide for the organizing OF
next years Council projects. 1t is
| important to be able to know that
troops will be able to take adyan-

camping activities as one of their
| projects.
The girl scouts are proud of the
part they were able to play in the
fine parade that was sponsored by
Sakimas Tribe H10, Improved Or
der of Red Men. They are spon-
sors of Girl Scout Troop HIS, and
Brownie Troop HTS. We would
like to congratulate the Boy Scout
Cub Troop that won a prize for
having the most in the line of
march, and also the Girl Scout
Troop from Rehoboth which came
the greatest distance, but we are
very, very proud of the three Girl
Scout Troops of Milford who enter
ed floats in the parade. 1t must
have. been difficult decision to
! decide between them, but the first
prize was awarded to Troop # 33,
under the leadership of Mrs. f..
Lynch and second prize was
awarded to Troop #5S, under the
leadership of Mrs. c. Lundstedt.
With apology to those who worked
