Wednesday NIGHT jAi Jj if 1 Mils IFF II UULa 11 SS Women Given Awards At Girl Scout Luncheon ' Talks, a film and reports were on the' program yesterday for the annual business meeting and recognition luncheon of the Girl Scout council, Rogue Valley area, held at Rogue Valley Country club. The session opened at 10 ajn. and continued through lunch eon until z p.m. Speaker for the luncheon was Mrs. Mabel Winston; dean of women and registrar of South ern Oregon college. Mrs. Win ston took as her topic the Girl Scout motto, "Believe, Belong and Build" and said that the most important of these is build." . . . Mrs. Winston stated that since American women lead such complex and busy lives, training for young girls should be such that they can accom plish the daily routine with effi ciency and ease and have ample time for civic and cultural pur suits. Organizations such as the Girl Scouts can help to prop erly train girls for full and use ful lives as adults, she said. Mrs. Winston pointed out that the average woman leads a life which ' is more complex and needs more skills and training than does that of the average man. The speaker said she be lieved woman's training and education should particularly stress the cultural, since this will enrich their later life when the children have grown and left the family home. "Girls can't ever know enough for the lives they must lead to day," she said. She closed by telling the assembled women that they should endeavor. through Girl Scouting, to enrich the lives of the girls with whom they work and said "nothing is more rewarding than to watch children grow and develop."
