Along Azalea Row
By B. 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.
If need arose, could you make !
your own dyes from materials
available in the home and gar
den? Could you make a small
loom. 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.
With assistance of Mrs. Jeri
Funari, the senior girl scout
troop has energetic plans for
lively activities in the coming
months. First aid, interior dec
orating, bowling, and of course,
some parties, occupy their inter-
Our antiquated ambulance went
times during December under
Vai Mendenhall Sr.,’s Skillful
management.
Mrs. Mendenhall
said that six of the trips .were
for seriously wounded men. One
was a suicide, the other five, bad
accidents. Sometimes, she said,
regretfully, Vai Mendenhall has
to make the run for someone w ho
is drunk. There
a nominal
charge for ambulance. 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.

Azalea Garden Club birthday i
party last Thursday. Members j
enjoyed the musical program,
short readings, and reports, and
reminiscences of the past six
years of garden club activities
and achievements. Honor guests ।
were the past presidents and the;
charter members. Quaint peep-
shows of nursery rhyme scenes
were created by designated mem
