By selling cookies the troops also aid their own troop finances as a portion of the price remains with each troop selling cookies. Each girl selling cookies is a good ambassador for Girl Scout ing if she is neat, quiet, accurate and courteous, and she will gain valuable experience in meeting people and situations during the sale. Cooperative Effort Girl Scouts believe that par ticipating in a cooperative effort Which benefits all is an im portant part of Scouting. The girls learn to be businesslike and to handle money accurately. The national council of Girl Scouts feels that when Girl Scouts are given an opportunity to raise money for their own troop or council, or for other welfare organizations, the local Girl Scout council must make sure that girls are trained, di rected and supervised by respon sible adults, and must take final responsibility for all money held in the name of Girl Scouting. It is believed that it is desir able for Girl Scout troops to have the experience of raising and spending money, since learn- Plans Being Made For Annual Meeting ing to handle funds carefully is part of a Scout's education.

FFECTIVE use of the leisure time of our youngsters is the key to responsible adulthood. Failure of the citizens of a community to meet this issue can lead in wrong directions. Because Girl Scouting for so long has proved itself one of the most constructive operations In our community, it has become an accepted part of our life, especially in the area of building a better community. It is now apparent that while hundreds of eligible girls are avail able to join in the Girl Scout program here, they are being deprived of the opportunity for lack of woman-power. Leadership in adequate numbers is not available always. Thus, Girl Scout Week is being ob served to awaken many capable women in the community to the exciting opportunities for them in this important service. May we join with others in urging you, if you have any time free for this work, to contact the local Girl Scout office and inquire how you can assist. powdered milk to pharmaceu- . ticals.
