'Girl Scouts Benefit, From United Fund (Editor' Note Tha Obiarv r; In' h public intaratt, will prasenr Mrtat of tor it on tha various participate inf aganciat which banafir from tha Unitad Fund. To day's articta is on tha Girl Scouts.) The Girl Scouts depend on their communities lor financial support as well as volunteer workers. Most people are aware that this organization is dedicated to help ing girls develop as happy, rc rourceful individuals willing to share their ahimes as citizens, but few people realize the means by which this end is achieved. This purpose is achieved through a program that is based Cn Uie Girl Scout laws, in small groups under adult leadorship. The leader defines for the girls the meaning of the laws and how they apply in everyday life. This program offers a wide range of activities, more than anyl other youth program in the area develop. d around the needs cf the girls, and offers opportunities for lun, friendship, service to others, and actual : practice in daily liv ing the Girl Stout rromi.se and Laws. Leader Helps Girls The leader helps the girls learn to assume responsibilities for troop affairs, such as program planning, attendance, finances, equipment and discipline, accord ing to their ages and abilites. until in their intermediate pro gram they are capable of running their own troops affairs and the leader becomes only an advisor. The many interesting fields in Girl Scouting are designed to give the girls an opportunity to .investigate vocational and advo cational interest possibilities. By the time an intermediate Girl Scout has earned her first class rank or the highest rank possible, the curved bar, she usually has et for herscll a goal. Youngsters like to belong to a group and fellow a louder, and .being a Girl Scout gives thorn an .opportunity to belong to a group whose code and ethics will meet with any parent's approval. . In order to have effective Girl troops they must have the neces sary support cf the community.

Our New Phone No. Is WO 3-5203 NICHOLS EQUIPMENT CO. Island City SAI.F.M l'PI One of the most pressing problems now being faced by Oregon Democrats is how they will choose the 52 dele gates they may send to their na tional convention set for Los An geles next July. Word came recently from the Democratic National Committee that Oregon will have 17 full votes at the convention instead of the lti a' the lust one. Party leaders seem to be in favor of splitting the Oregon dele gation to get twice as many peo ple with one - half a vote each. Adding the IH alternates allowed would give a grand total of 62. The only ones with sure berths on the delegation so far are Na tional Committeeman C. Girard Davidson and National Commit- teewoman Virginia Grant. These wo probably will lie allowed to pick their own alternates. Thirty-Two Elected Hut this till leaves 82 delegates to be elected with half that many alternates to be chosen. Previous ly every delegate could choose his alternate. Democrats aound the state- house say electing ao many dele gates will be a touchy and inter esting problem with so many po tential presidential candidates ca pable of splitting the party. Front runners are Sens. John Young Sleuth Develops New 'Detect1 Plan NKW YORK I'Pl i A young detective's revolutionary method of getting at-the-scene fingerprints received enthusiastic backing from the world's police chiefs to day as one of the greatest de velopments in cr.me investigation in 20 years. Nassau "N.Y.I County Detective Matthew Bonora, 31, who has worked on such famous cases as the Peter Weinberger kidnaping and the abduction of Stephen Dammui, said he has received, orders from police departments in almost every state for his finger print taking development. "We've ulso got orders from po lice chiefs in Mexico, Venezuela, Ghana, Liberia. Canada, all over," Ilonora said in an interview with United Press International at tha convention of the International Association cf Police Chiefs here "The response is terrific and we think it s really going to help law enforcement a lot. This little thing will help fight crime throughout the world," he said. Houora's idea was simple to a housewife. It's nn ' aerosol can that snruys fingerprint powder, much like the cans used in every household for shaving cream, in secticide or whipped cream. To help him overcome technical dif ficulties, Bonora brought in two partners William Golden, 39. a fingerprint technician for the Nas sau police, and George llarlz, 51. his next-door neighbor and an aerosol chemist. Bonora. a policeman for 10 years, said he was constantly an noyed by the long, hard aid dirty job of trying to get fingerprints the old way a system developed 20 years ago and never changed. He also knew that often a police man who was not a fingerprint exert would ruin the prints he was trying to take.

THE SUPERLATIVE '60 CHEVY This is the one that says '60 like no other car. From its clean-thrusting grille to its dapper rear deck, there's so much that's new and different about this superlative Chevrolet it stands out from the rest like a fresh-minted coin. And you'll be just as wide-eyed over what's inside -the relaxing roominess, tasteful trim, hushed elegance of its new Body by Fisher, all comfortably cradled by Full Coil springs at all four wheels. Yet, sumptuous as this new Chevy is, it's got all the thrifty virtues that make it unmistakably a Chevrolet-with new economy of operation, neviTdependability, new longer life. Here, then, we're confident both you and your budget will joyously agree, is the nearest to perfection a low-priced car ever came! -: Here's tho car that introduces a whole new decade of design with so much that's new and different the others can only hope to come close. It's the superlative '60 Chevrolet with new space inside, new spirit under the hood, new splendor in every clean-etched line. Freslily shaped contours rake back from the unified new grille to the jaunty rear deck, fitted with craftsmanship you'd expect only on the mast expen sive makes. Inside, the solidly built new Body by Fisher surrounds you with finely tailored fabrics and spacious elegance. There's room to sprawl in, room to sit tall in generously pro vided by Chevy's sofa-wide seats and extra margin of hat space. And there's even more leg room for the man in the middle thanks to the way Chevrolet engineers have shaved down the transmission tunnel. Out on the road, as Chevy's Full Coil ride will persuade you most gently, there's not a car near the price that comes close to the hushed comfort of this one. Adding to your sense of silence and solidity are thicker, newly designed rubber body mounts that do an even more efficient job of isolat ing road shock and noise. Quiet, quick-responding power is pro vided by a choice of two standard engines Chevy's famed Hi-Thrift 6 and a new Economy Turbo-Fire V8 that gets up to 10 more miles out of a gallon of regular while deliver ing greater engine torque at normal speeds. There's also a choice of five other V8's and five transmissions, to assure the exact power combination to satisfy the itch in your driving foot. Chevy's accent on comfort and conven ience even extends back to its easier- to-Ioad luggage compartment. You'll also find a convenient new park ing brake that automatically returns to normal height after application, a new clutch linkage that filters out engine impulses more effectively than ever and new two-toning motif avail able on all 16 fresh-minted models, i But, impressive as all this may look in print, there's really only one way to tell how near to perfection this superlative '60 Chevrolet actually comes ... and that's to drop in on your dealer w CHEVROLET i and drive one!
