Society. and CLUBS Committee Plans Leaders Camapign For Girl Scouts A campaign to recruit women lor Girl Scout leaders will be made this week by the Medford Girl Scout Council under the direction of the organization committee, of which Mrs. John Larwood is chairman. It is point ed out that the Girl Scout move ment is constantly expanding here and that many additional leaders must be recruited if the troops are to continue their ac tivities this fall . Women of the Girl Scout Council feel that the Scouting program is in line with thought of a noted educator who said "What the best and wisest parent wants for his own child, that must the community want for all its children. Any other Ideal Is narrow and unlovely; acted upon, it destroys democra cy." Translating this into Girl Scout terms, the council wishes to make the Girl Scout program available to all the girls in the community from seven to eigh teen years of age, through lead ers selected from among the homemakers, the teachers, the business or professional women in Jackson county. "To begin the 1944-1945 Girl Scout year the Medford Council does have a group of splendid leaders and assistant leaders," Mrs. Larwood states. "However, many of the troops are too large and extra leaders are needed when divisions are made. A num ber of troops, already organized, cannot begin activities because last year's leader cannot con tinue. And an all too great a number of girls of Scout age are completely on 'the outside, look ing in' until suitable leaders are found. "This appeal Is made to all women who like girls; who en Joy doing things with them and learning with them the things they want to do. Women who have a few skills or abilities of their own that they are able to School Days Mean extra work In keep ing boys and girls looking neat and clean. Why not let us share the burden of that job? You'll be agree ably surprised at the mod erate cost of America's D E P E N D A BLE laundry service. BUY WAR BONDS tii ii it-1 iMiiri Win - - -J I!
