Home for
the Girl
Scouts
Scouts wave farewell to their sparkling building.
I o an eight-year-old child, the world can be as small and secure as
her mother's arms or as limitless and mysterious as the heavens.
For more than 40 years, the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. has been
helping girls to find secure and happy places in an often-frightening
world. As Scouts, the youngsters discover they are part of a world- -wide
movement comprising millions of girls in 46 nations, all sharing
common, constructive aims and principles.
Some idea of the scope of Scouting in the United States alone recently
dawned on a group of Brownies Troop 28 of Belmar, N J. who went to
New York City to see the Girl Scouts' new national headquarters build
ing. For most of the youngsters, it was their first visit to New York as
well all in all, a day that enlarged their horizons considerably!
Sponsored by the Young Women's Circle of the First Methodist
Church in Belmar, the troop had been meeting in the Methodist
Fellowship Hall. But now the 13-story structure of shiny steel, glass,
and aluminum dazzled their imaginations, especially when the
girls learned it was "theirs."
As they toured the building, the children saw the birthplace of such
familiar Brownie activities as arts and crafts and cooking, and met
the people responsible for various Scout programs. In one room, they
watched with awe the "mechanical brains" that keep tab on America's
more than two million Girl Scouts.
Said one tired moppet as she put on her beanie for the ride home:
"It's wonderful to be a Girl Scout!"
YOU have a stake
in higher education
This country needs educated
people as never before, and the
need will increase. Our whole
future may depend on men and.
women who have learned in col
lege to think soundly and choose
wisely in business, in industry,
in civic affairs.
Our colleges are facing a crisis.
Already the pressure of applica
tions is straining their capacity.
It will double by 1967.
It's not just a matter of add
ing classroom, laboratory and
dormitory space. Faculties, too,
must be enlarged and strength
ened. High standards of teaching
must be maintained. That means
increased salaries for professors.
For your own sake, your chil
dren's sake, your country's sake,
help the colleges or universities
of your choice now!

crisis means to you, write for a free
