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.
