Lee, Medford, presided for the last time as district president. Her suc cessor, Mrs. William R. Harms, Crania Pass, was in stalled at the conclusion of the session, held in the Live Oak Grange hall. Other officers installed Gold Hill Girl Scouts Study Aid Gold Hill-Members of Girl Scout Troop 121 are studying first aid as part of their health and safety requirements for second class rank according to their leader, Mrs. William Ganong. Mrs. Ganong was as sisted at the last two meetings in March by Girl Scouts Rae line O'Brien, Carol Washburn, Eileen Kell, and Sandra Ga nong, who are holders of Jun ior first aid certificates through American Red Cross. Besides Girl Scouts, several adults in this area earned cer tificates when Troop 121 spon sored American Red Cross first aid here. Kenneth Snook, a qualified instructor, taught the course. Other notes from Troop 121 reveal that Gold Hill Girl Scouts are busy people. Dur ing the early part of March the scouts met at the home of Mrs. Ganong to study basic skills in camping and to hold a camp cook-out. Topics dis cussed were how to choose a spot for a fire; how to build and put out a fire; good man ners out of doors; rules of the road, town and country; how to dress for outdoor activity, and simple first aid. Flowers Bloom Mrs. Ganong reports an un usual coincidence occurred during March. On March 12, which is the birthday of Girl Scouting in America, crocus and daffodil bulbs that were planted last October by Girl Scouts of Troop 121 bloomed. This she said was of particu lar interest because the bulbs were planted to observe the 60th anniversary year of Girl Scouting in America. She said it was through the interest and efforts of Frank Sutcliffe, plant manager at Ideal Ce ment company, Gold Hill, that a flower bed was prepared, and a new park strip created at the cement plant's entrance so that Girl Scouts here might participate in the "Golden Bloom" project by planting bulbs and flowers that will yield golden blooms through out 1962. The project was featured in an article that was printed in the January, 1962 issue of the Ideal Cement Mixer magazine in the "Spotlighting Ideal Folks in the News" section in conjunction with the Gold Hill plant. Another highlight during the month of March was a Fun day at the Scout hall which consisted of songs and dances followed by refresh ments. Featured part of the program was "Vamos A Jugas," a Spanish singing game presented by sixth and seventh grade girls, who had studied under Mrs. Mildred Black, sixth grade teacher at Hanby Elementary school. During February the Girl Scouts made valentines and potted ivy plants to present to their mothers. Mrs. Ganong said Troop 121 bad an arts and craft exhibit at the Scout hall, showing their work on needlecraft, basketry, paint ings, and crayon coloring.
