Women Of Vision

Founders of the Girl Scouts are
receiving tribute this week, not
only in Peninsula Girl Scout Coun-
Gil, but in 1,031 Girl Scout Coun-
ellis all over our country.
The occasion is the one hum
dredth anniversary of the birth
day of Juliette Gordon Low, born
on October 81, 1860, who founded
Girl Scouts of the United States of
America.
Mrs. Low was a woman of great
vision, conviction and energy. How
of other women of vision who con-
tinued her work, she would not be
remembered today. Every woman
who has organized and led a troop
or assisted in establishing a coun-
Gil has helped to make Juliette
Lows plan reality.
From the first Savannah troop
of IL girls, which Mrs. Low or
ganized in 1912, Girl Scout mem
bership has grown at an impress
i've rate. 1t now numbers close
to 312 million including 100000
adults, both men and women. And
today the original Girl Scout Prom
ise and Laws are still as vital a
guide for the organization as when
the first Scouts pledged ION my
honor {.
Mrs. Lows conception of Girl
broad 20
reaching one. She was a pioneer,
an original thinker and dynamic
doer. Her interest in the early de-
velopments of aviation led to the
establishment of the Wing Scouts.
She was responsible for produc-
ing in 1918 documentary film on
Girl Scouting, which was one of
the first public service motion pic
lures Thanks to the women who
have carried on Mrs Lows work,
the Girl Scout program has kept
pace with the times as she dream
ed it would. In the creative arts,
girls not only continue in the ira
ditional fields of handicrafts and
painting, but also explore newer
art forms such as Origami Japan
ese paper sculpture) and mobiles.
Girl Scout forums discuss the sig
nificance of nuclear and outer
space developments as well as
present-day sociological relations.
TOday's Girl Scouts display an
increasing interest in information
al relations. They study foreign
languages and welcome opportun-
tiles to meet and assist visitors
from abroad
Versatile as the Scouting pro-
gram has become, its basic pur-
pose remains the same: to help all
girls, including those with handi-
caps, to develop into happy, re-
sourceful women and citizens.
Juiliette Low and all the foun-
ders of Girl Scouting especially
of the Eastern Shore, we salute
you!

Reform
Before
axes

The central issue before the
people is the need for reform, and
the Republican candidates are 60
ing to fight for it-fght for the
program which will save Della
ware taxpayers almost So million
a year!
John Annett of Harrington, Re-
publican candidate for Representa-
tive for the End district, is solidly
behind this program to establish a
civil service system and rid the
state of the spoils system fostered
by the Democratic leaders.
This 'Model-T government that
wastes your money and is unable
to provide the services you want
seems necessary part of the
Democratic. stronghold" said Mr..
Annett. You and only you,
through your vote, can elect to
office men who will work for you
rather than a party set-up".
On November the voters of Del
aware will be pushing aside party
lines to elect to office men like
John Annett who are supporting
the Republican platform in the in
/ terest of all citizens.

LoIIobrigido Homecoming
Is Much Less Than q Hit

Gina's arrival as "G-Day" buried
the story of her arrival on inside
pages.
Toronto's sudden Indifference
to Gina's arrival contrasted
sharply with the ballyhoo which
greeted the first announcement
that she would settle in this city.
The city-if not the country
was astir then.
Newspaper headlines screamed,
"Gina is coming to live with us"
while Toronto's city council
breathlessly talked about naming
a street after the beautiful new
taxpayer.
The general enthusiasm lasted
for several weeks. 1t cooled off
when Gina postponed her arrival
at least six times because of de-
lays in shooting her current movie
in Hollywood.
Each time elaborate prepara-
tions for a gigantic welcome
complete with motorcade and a
parade-had to be Cancelled.
BY the time she finally got here
not even a special publicity agent
who flew here from New York
could revive the waning interest.
But Gina won't have to put up
for long with this Indifference of
her new fellow-residents. She'll
be leaving for Europe soon to make
another movie, and is taking her
family with her.
