Miller Recently I read that the es sence of America lies not in our individualism, but in our passion to serve the community. This team-work for the good of the whole is found here in Brookings by the sea. A priceless gem pre senting many facets! Let us con sider a few of them. Ladies, I take my hat off to the teen-agers’ Monday evening, I had the pleasure of meeting as attractive, intelligent and peppy group of high school girls as one could find anywhere! The senior girl scout troop of our own com munity. There are now over a million girl scouts in the United States, and they represent a very real potential strength for civilian defense and for the armed serv ices in event of war. The girl scout handbook, it self, is a regular five-foot shelf of books condensed into one, an encyclopedia of interesting and useful data.

Leave a burning building in such a way as to lessen the danger of suffocation? Can you recognize familiar animal tracks?! The girl scout handbook contains the answers to all these and so many, many practical questions. In time of war it twould be sim ply priceless. Costs one dollar and should be in everyone’s li brary.

Mrs. Mendenhall said that six of the trips .were for seriously wounded men. One was a suicide, the other five, bad accidents.

Most peo ple are more than glad to pay it, but occassionally someone who could do so, just won’t. An azalea to Billy Graham for spearheading a n expression o f community appreciation for Vai Mendenhall and his wife. Neither would ask for recognition, chos- ing to serve tht» community in their quiet way. Mrs.s Menden hall keeps the books and sees to it that the ambulance goes on the run with fresh sheets and clean blankets. Under auspices of Seventh-Day Adventist church, an American Red Cross first aid training and casualty care class has been made available to residents of our community. Classes meet at the Grange hall, except tonight on Monday and Thursday eve nings. Here is our immediate op portunity to do something about civilian defense.
