When the Business and Profes sional Woman’s Club purchased orange cups and saucers for the Scout Hut, they started something for the Scouts liked their choice and wished to add to it. Troop 7, ever on the alert, plan ned a shower and party for all Senior troops, and made a real oc casion of it last Thursday night. Yes, the supply has grown and colorful crockery—cups, saucers, plates, dessert saucers, etc. will be used and enjoyed! The occasion proved to be profitable for the Hut and interesting and enjoyable for the Scouts. Troop 7, with its leaders and friends also enjoyed a bit of carolling on Friday night, after leaving the High School gym, later returning to the Hut for hot chocolate and cookies before the open fires. ***** Welcome Home Scouts! It is nice to see those of you home again who have been away from our ranks since September and October Yes, we still miss you, and until December 31, we still claim you, for you are a re gistered Scout. It is nice to have you drop by the Hut, and we hope you will always feel welcomed that goes for each of you—Ruth, Ella deane, Jane, Margaret, Lois, Ruby r~ - Lee, Katherine. * * * * * NEEDED—A Leader and an As sistant Leader for a new troop at Rosemary School. They are girls of Brownie age, 7 to 10 years, who wish to be come Brownie Scouts at Rosemary School. Surely there is someone, a parent, or friend of some of that group, who would be inter ested in seeing a troop get under way there. The Organization Com mittee of which Mrs. G. S. Bunn is chairman would like very much to have a lead as to a person who might be interested in help ing with the troop. We are op tomistic enough to believe the troop will be registered in Jan uary; so if you know anyone who might help, perhaps you are the one to call the Girl Scout office or Mrs. Bunn. ***** SAVE YOUR PAPER! The Salvage Committee is mak ing another call and canvas for paper. A day each month will be set for collecting and all Scouts will be called upon to help at some time. Housekeepers, mer chants, and all citizens of the community are urged to save pa per, magazines and boxes for the monthly collection. It will be a great help if each person will stack and tie magazines and pa I per in neat bundles. Do your part by watching announcements as to the day of collection and having your paper on the curb at the proper time. * * * * * TROOP 8 ON THE AIR Troop 8 with a number of friends will sing Christmas Carols tonight from 7:80 until 8 o'clock. Tune in on WCBT as you com plete your last minute Christmas wrappings. Thank you Mrs. Wilson for making the radio programs in teresting and possible. ***** Troop Jf Enjoys An Evening At The Hut! Troop 4 enjoyed an evening of music, dance, and games at the Hut on Monday night. Members of the troojt were most efficient in making preparations for the occasion for their leaders were away or at work. Roasting weenies over the open fires proved to be the favorite pastime, and along with the “Pepsies”, one can imagine that success was the verdict. Those present were Elizabeth Braswell, Bobbie Fisher, Lola Cates, Annie Erwin, Annette Ed wards, Mary Joyce Finch, Mar garet Outland, Alton Edwards, William Sadler, Charles Pullen, Linwood Lee Nixon, Gail King, Dwight Dobbjns, Mrs. MacKenzie, Mrs. Fisher, Miss Newsome, and Jean MacKenzie. ***** Be Prepared For Inter National Friendship Month February is International Girl Scout Month and we might be gin now to make our plans for that month. The December issue of the ‘‘Girl Scout Leader” con tains interesting information about the Chinese Girl Scouts and a message from Madame Chiang Kai-shek to the Girl Scouts of China might well apply to Girl Scouts all over the world. Read that message carefully, and let us determine that in 1944, we too will strive to be better prepared as Scouts, not only of the United States, but of the World Associa tion of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides. “To prepare yourselves for duty that lies before you, the Girl Scouts should, and I am sure, will, keep steadily in mind three all important points. The first, and one of the greatest of these, is self-reliance. Women in the past, and to some degree in the pres ent, led comparitively shelterd lives. The sheltering roof has been blown off by the blasts of war, and you will have to depend mainly on yourselves in the stern test to come. "You have been taught by your elders the necessity of cooperation. That you must cooperate among yourselves may have become clear to you all, but it is necessary and desirable that cooperation should extend far over and beyond our national boundaries. "Then comes my third point: service to others. That is the spirit of service that inspires our fighting men and the Red Cross and the other auxiliaries too num erous to mention who are fight ing this total war that has been forced upon the peace-loving na tions. You will be women tomor row, and women have shown their willingness to face death in its most terrible form to render serv ice to others, since long before the day of Florence Nightingale. “I am convinced that if all peo ples could act upon the above three points the world would be safe.” Yes, we have had a small part in helping the Chinese Girl Scouts through our contributions to tj£_> Juliette Low Memorial Fund. And, from The Reverend Newtom Chiang comes this message to Girl Scouts of the United States: ‘‘I should like to present, on the part of the Chinese Girl Scou>~. our gratitude and thanks to every one of the A.merican Girl Scouts who contributed their pennies to the Fund.” learn more about their activities and how we may help them carry ' on. As American Girl Scouts, let^ us also adopt the three-point pro-^ gram suggested by Madame f■ Chiang Kai-shek: self-reliance, cf - operation, and service to Hhers. mmo the women and the womenu Mrs. Rufus Woodruff has re turned to Newport after visiting Mrs. W. V. Woodruff. ® ★ It’s just about time for that perennial paratrooper, Santa Claus, to start his friendly invasion. We just want to say we hope he makes a happy landing, right in your home, bringing you more Christmas cheer than you’ve ever had before. t 8 at' at' at' at' at a$ # I F. M. COBURN 8 fg "The Old Reliable” § One hundred and twenty years $go (B Clement Clarke Moore's jolly poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas," first appeared. Each year since then it has contributed to the joy of Christmas. We want to say that if we were able to gather up all this joy and wrap it up in one big package it would hardly represent our wishes for your Christmas happiness this £ season of 1943. New Rosemary Cafe JOHN CARR AS, Proprietor AS one hands down a good name, Christmas each IX. year hands down its traditions, and all are good. It has been a tradition here to regard the good will of our customers as our most precious asset. In this holiday season of 1943 we extend to you, not as a customer alone, but as a friend, our very best wishes for a . . . Merry Christmas. I C. C SWKLL# __* ^“■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
