Topaz Vee Halgren, Consultant ' Information On Careers Available The 1960 edition of a book let on career information for high school students has been received by the Medford unit of the American Legion auxiliary. The booklet, "Need a Lift?", contains sources for career la formation for students en deavoring to plan their fu- tures. It will be available through Mrs. Bert Stancliffe, education and scholarship chairman, and contains names and addresses of more than 100 different fields. Scholarships and education- also aids also are listed in the Legion publication, which is said to be one of the most com plete sources of career and scholarship information in the United States. "Plans for career education should begin to be made dur ing the sophomore year of high school," Mrs. Stancliffe said. "Proper subjects can then be studied during high school years and efforts made to qualify for a scholarship in the chosen field. Many young men and women fail to take advantage of generous aids offered because they fail to plan for their futures early enough." She mentioned the "Junior G.I. bill" which provides up to $110 per month in educa tion aid for sons and daugh ters of veterans who died as a direct result of war service. More than half of those eli gible have failed to apply. -f Musicians Win Scholarships Two students from Medford who are attending Oregon State college have been ward ed music study scholarships.

The study grants will cover fees for private lessons throughout the year. Ten stu dents were given the grants following auditions before the music department faculty. Funds for the awards come from contributions made to 'he department by interested individuals and organizations. Phone SP 2-6428 Girl Scouts and interested adults in many countries will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Juliette Gor don Low tomorrow, October 31. Mrs. Low. founder of the Girl Scout movement which has had a tremendous impact on girlhood in many lands, is pictured here as a young woman Born into an aristocratic southern family, Juliette Gordon Low wai married to William Mackay Low, wealthy English man where she learned of the Scouting movement in that country. Founder of Girl Scouts Honored on October 31 Almost three and one-half million Americans and people in some 49 foreign countries will celebrate the birthday of Juliette Gordon Low, foun der of Girl Scouting in the United States, on Monday, Oct. 31. Juliette Gordon was born just 100 years ago in Savan nah, Georgia, to an' aristo cratic Southern family and grew up to be a high-spirited young debutante who had all the advantages offered her by a wealthy and loving family. Like most young girls, she loved parties and beautiful clothes, but surprisingly, in view of the period in which she lived, she enjoyed sports and the out-of-doors and be came an expert swimmer, horseback rider and fisher man. Moves to England In 188S, Juliette Gordon married William Mackay Low, a wealthy Englishman whose family had business in terests and a residence in Savannah,, and went to Eng land to live. Widowed in 1905, and finding herself alone, childless, and handi capped by deafness, Mrs. Low met Sir Robert Baden-Ppwell, founder of the Scoating move ment in England. Mrs. Low studied the new movement and promptly organized Girl Scout troops in England and Scotland. She realized that she had now found the direc tion and purpose of her life. It was in March, 1912, that Juliette Low. returned to America and on her first night home she phoned an old friend who was headmistress of a girls' school. "Come right over," urged Mrs. Low, "I've got something for the girls of Savannah, and all America and all the world, and we're going to start it tonight." Many in Scouting Since that memorable day almost half a century ago, ap proximately 17 million girls and adults have enjoyed the fun and camaraderie of Girl Scouting, have been helped to become resourceful, creative, responsible citizens. Today, more than two and one-half million girls between the ages of seven and seventeen years and about 800,000 adults are Girl Scouts. Mrs. Low learned early never to take "no" for an an swer. Close friends and rela tives, as well as distinguished men and women all over America found themselves, at Mrs. Low's insistence, giving tremendous amounts of time and energy to the new move ment. Until her death in 1927 Mrs. Low traveled through out the country organizing troops, developing and train ing leadership, winning com munity support. She also wrote the early handbooks, planned program activities for the girls, designed the first uniform and financed the movement personally.

Central SP 2-7113 I One of the first public service films produced in America was a Girl Scout movie, which Juliette Gordon Low had made in 1918, when movies were "still in their in fancy. International friend ship, youth service to the community, scouting for han dicapped girls-these ideas are as fresh today as when Juli ette Low made them an in tegral part of Girl Scouting in the very earliest days of the movement.. The world of 1960 barely resembles Juliette Gordon Low's world of 1912. Yet the organization she brought into being continues to flourish. This is, indeed, a monument to one of the most remark able women in our country's history. 4 Donat Family Buys River Front Home ' Shady Cove-Mr. and Mrs. Werner ' Donat and family have purchased the river front home of Mrs. Lorraine Morris.

Elviria Cestari, a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, who has worked for 14 years as a missionary in North and South America, will supervise the joint efforts of he Jack son County Migrant Council and the Oklahoma Council of Churches. With the 35-year-old Miss Cestari, the spiritual welfare of the migrants is a chief tar get, but she knows living con ditions, recreation, health and food problems also must be met and solved. Every year the southwest ern Oklahoma cotton harvest attracts thousands of Spanish speaking U. S. citizens who live in the Rio Grande Val ley. They spend most of the autumn months -pulling bolls in the state's cotton belt. The multiple problems of the some 9,000 migrants were recognized by the local coun cil who summoned the church group. Together, they hired Miss Cestari, who recently fin ished a similar job in Indi ana. She works with volunteer workers from the community, supervising the programs and mingling with the migrants. Robert L. Warner, Altus sanitarian, said last year sev en children of the migrants died here, mostly of intesti nal diseases.
