Our own u. S. Commissioner of
Education, DR.. Lawrence G. Der
thick, says that girls, are an un-
tapped reservoir of brains and
ability. Not all the science scholar
ships are available to our sex, so
let's take advantage of this oppor-
tunity Of proving ourselves worthy
of DIR. Derthick's confidence.
A very special plea is made by
your publicity chairman for some
one who wishes to do a most in
teresting and gratifying service to
the Girl Scouts of this area-that
is the job of bringing the Girl Scout
story to the public. Unfortunately,
circumstances have arisen which
necessitate the publicity chairman s
relocating to another part of the
country within the next few weeks.
This being service which is not
confined to a particular hour of a
particular day makes it an excel
lent one for those who are unable
to perform other services because
of such other responsibilities as
small children or full time posi-
tions.
The girls have been very CO.
operative in the past and the pub
lie has been very receptive. There
should be no interruption in bring
ing the Girl Scout story before the
public.
Anyone who would be interested
In taking over the duties of this
Office please call Mrs. Chas. Lund-
stedt, Girl Scout Neighborhood AS
sociation Chairman, Tel. 1921, or
Mrs. VIM. G. Huyler, Publicity
Chairman, Tel, 1852.
