(UPI Telephoto) Girl Scouting Has Many Opportunities Dnnrtnnities for fun. com munity service and friendship can be found for girls from the ages of 7 to 17 in the Girl Scouts. Through donations to the United Medford Crusade, some 992 Brownies and Girl Scouts in the Medford area take their responsibilities seriously to help create a better community. A IT FLOATS! K Ym, this quality FISH and HUNTING KNIFE in wooden scabbard floats! Stainleis steel blade with a keen edge and a ser rated edge on top for scaling.

At the store next to Pig gly Wiggly on Stewart Village Variety S&H Stamps A rcirl Scout learns at an parlv aee to be of service to her family and community when she starts in Brownies at the age of 7. For three years, the Brownies have a sampling of Girl Scout work by participating in communi ty life, health and safety, homemaking, understanding of nature and teamwork. Becomes Scout At the age of 10, a Brownie may "fly-up" and become an Intermediate Scout, and in the ninth grade go into Senior Scouting. The girls have con tributed much to the commu nity this past year by helping on a toy drive for Christmas where they cleaned, sorted, collected and wrapped toys; manned a booth at the local Sports Fair; participated in a city cleanup drive; worked in a local nursery and kinder garten; took care of flower boxes in front of local stores; provided baby sifting for PTA Taillighf Thefts Reported to Police Stealing taillights from 1959 Cadillacs has apparently become a "fad" among certain members of Medford's young er set, according to city po lice. Police received their fifth complaint in recent months Wednesday of taillights being stolen from the late - model Cadillacs. This complaint was from Ralph Eugene Pierce, 2100 Woodlawn dr. He told police the taillights valued at $35 were taken from the car while it was parked in front of his residence recently. Last week, police received two reports of taillights being stolen and early in the sum mer they received two others. All of Qie taillights were re ported taken from 1959 Cad illacs. Why the vandals have se lected this particular make and model of car to steal from, police are not sure, but they surmise that some persons are taking the lights because they believe it to be a "fad." Persons caught taking such items as taillights can be charged with petty larceny whic'4 carries a maximum pen alty of one year in the coun ty jail and a $500 tine, accord' ing to city police. meetings; and provided other services. And because of the United Medford Crusade and their work, each year the Girl Scouts are able to carry on their reason for existence service to all. Girl Scouts not only learn new things and have fun, but they also put these attributes to demonstrative proof - that is, it is fun not only to help others but to cooperate with them too. Throughout the program, fun and companionship be tween adult and girl is con stantly stressed. Girl Scout ac tivities prove to be a good example of what is wanted of teenagers, and this is one reason why the United Med ford Crusade investment in Girl Scouting pays off. Vermont Expected To Remain GOP; Others Undecided By FRANK DONOGHUE Boston - WP1I - Somebody once said practical ponucs consists of ignoring facts. But whether you ignore or heed the facts, New England politics is as unpredictable as its weather. New Englanders will vote in November for two native sons, Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kennedy and Republican vice presiden tial nominee Henry Cabot Lodge. This fact alone - and one that can't be ignored - puts the balloting in doubt in at least five of the New England states. The exception: Ver mont which is expected to stick to its deep Republican tap-roots. President Eisenhower cap tured all six states in 1956. Neither party is expected to win the bloc this year. Massachusetts perhaps tops the political puzzle in New England because its heart be longs to two candidates. Both Kennedy and Lodge are from Massachusetts. May Have Edge Kennedy, as a presidential candidate, may have an edge in Massachusetts. But Lodge, the blueblood who stood up to Russia in the United Na tions, is held in high regard by Democrats and Republi cans alike.- The GOP high command hasn't written off Massachu- setts. To the contrary, Repub lican strategists are making Massachusetts a front line in its offense to win votes for GOP presidential nominee Richard M. Nixon and his running mate. On paper, Massachusetts Is a Democratic state. There are about 800,000 registered Re publicans. But one million voters de clare no party affiliation in the Bay State. These are the "independents" who could tilt the outcome either way. Their votes are the most coveted by both camps. Demo crats acknowledge privately that Lodge's stature has risen since his dofi'at by Kennedy for the U. S. Sen ate in 1952. Kennedy beat Lodge by 70,737 that year. In Connecticut, Democrats appear to have a slight edge in the presidential footrace since this year, for the first time, the registered Demo crats outnumber registered Republicans. About Even Democrats beat the Repub licans in a registration race in Connecticut by a whisker The results: 51 per cent of the registered voters are Dem ocratic. Connecticut Gov. A. A. Rib- icoff boarded the Kennedy bandwagon two years ago. He may steer it to victory but only over rough tracks. Connecticut R e p u blicans have no where to go except up. Ribicoff's landslide win in 1958 produced a Democrat ic sweep of all six congres sional seats. Ribicoff isn't running this year - his term has two more years to go and Republicans feel they can get their feet back in the door. The person who once said "As Maine goes, so goes the nation probably regretted that utterance. It just Isn't so. Maine often has gone one way, the rest of the nation another. Maine is expected to go for Nixon-Lodge this November. Peter M. Damborg, veter an political analyst for the Guy Gannett Newspapers in Maine, said that Nixon is get ting stronger in Maine with each day of the presidential campaign. Nixon has visited Maine five times since becoming vice president, including a re cent trip. He billed himself as a "favorite son," a play on Kennedy's New England "na tive son" theme. Solid for GOP New Hampshire, believed to be the only state in the na tion that is Republican in ev ery major public office, will stay that way, from all indi cations. Republicans tradi tionally out-vote Democrats by better than two-to-one in that slate. Frank O'Noil, pulitical edi tor of the Manchester (N il.) Union Leader, said "it is dif ficult to see how Kennedy can upset the Republican trend i$ New Hampshire." To win, O'Ncll said, Ken nedy would have to cut very deeply into registered Repub lican ranks "to make it even a close run and his chances of doing this are remote." The religious issue - Ken nedy's Roman Catholicism -has not been the emotional issue in New England that it has been elsewhere in the nation. But the religious question exists in New England even if it is dormant. Parade Pianned On Veterans Day "Fight Communism" will be the theme for the Veterans Day parade Nov. 11, accord ing to Charles J. Myers of the Medford Barracks, Veterans of World War I, and chairman of the parade. Plans for the parade, which is expected to be among the better parades in the city, were discussed at a recent meeting of the Veterans Al lied Council, sponsors of the event. In addition to veterans' groups, several non-veterans' groups have indicated they plan to participate in the parade, Myers said. They in clude, representatives of the Oregon Cattlemen's associa tion, which will hold a four day convention in Medford starting Nov. 12. School bands from the area, as well as other marching units from fraternal organiza tions have indicated they plan to participate. Assisting Myers is Morrill Beneka, Medford.
