Troop 5 Studies Hostess Badge
Before Making Plans to
Entertain Parents:
After studying the requirements
of the Hostess Badge, Troop 5
admits that learning to be a suc
cessful hostess is not going to be
as easy as learning a new singing
game or directing a play or swing
ing a broom.
Mrs. Wilson D. Reid, Troop
Committee Member, and Brownie
Scouts, Frances Earle Wood and
Loretta Mincher, of Troop 9 vis
ited Troop 5 last Wednesday in
order to see Mary Jo Suiter, Bet
ty Lou Robinson and Mary Lou
Starke dramatize a story from
“Picture Tales from Mexico.”
Mary Jo promised to visit Troop
9 and help them dramatize the
story.
Troop 1J, Collects Waste Fat:
Before the meeting was called
-to order, Troop 14 collected waste
fat from housewives who had pre
viously telephoned the Girl Scout
office.
Mrs. G. S. Bunn and Mrs. T. O.
Wilson have been visiting the
Troop during the month of Janu
ary. At one meeting Mrs. Wilson
showed the girls picture postcards
of scenes (in Paris which her dau
m , -•HIZ-LL^ZZ!
ghter, Virginia, a former Girl
Scout, had sent her. The cards
were not only pretty, but ristori
cal scenes relative to Napoleon
and Marie Antoinette.
Mrs. Bunn has been reading and
discussing folk tales and rec'pes
from foreign lands. The Chinese
story of KINDNESS, and CHILD
LORE from Finland and Iceland
have proved interesting as a tie
up with the work on Internation
al Friendship.
The Senior Scouts who have
charge of this Troop are doing a
good work.
The Council Members will en
joy visiting and helping thesi
leaders.
rroop ib ueciaes mat a Party
For the Parents Calls for a
Special 'Clean-up:
Troop 15 always saves time fox’
kapers at the end of each Troop
meeting, and the House Committee
always checks to see that each
kaper is done satisfactorily, but
that wasn’t enough.
Deciding that a special occasion
warranted a special clean-up, the
Troop met Saturday to cook their
lunch and clean-up the kitchen.
Ambitious Scouts From Troop 5

Clean-up Day:
Tha Jane Moore, Patsy Moore,
Mary Lou Starke and Mary Jo
Suitor of Troop 5 borrow Scouts
from Troop 15 to help them wash
windows, dust the walls, and clean
and wax the floor. Seven Scouts
from Troop 6 dropped in about 2
o’clock to decorate for a party
Saturday evening and were draft
ed, immediately, to help wax the
floor.

NURSES' AIDE
NEWS-REEL
By LIB GRIFFITH
We were delighted to have Mrs.
Frank Williams with us at our
dinner meeting Monday night. Mrs.
Williams spoke to us and gave us
some interesting facts and infor
mation. She told us that during
the month of January the Corps
worked 340 hours at the Hospital.
This is a much better record than
we have made recently and shows
that more of us are trying to do
our part. We were glad to learn
that several members who have
been inactive for sometime for
various reasons are now on the
active lista gain. Mrs. Erma Ed
mondson and Miss Fay McLean
were guests at the dinner Monday
night. For once the number "13”
proved lucky and Miss O’dell Dor
sey won the "Pig.”
we are proud to nave eleven
names on our Honor Roll for Jan
uary. These eleven women work
ed a total of 268 hours at the
Hospital. Those making the Hon
or Roll are as follows: Miss Sj •
bil Allen, Miss Sarah Cannon, Miss
Eileen Fisher, Miss Anne Marie
Fisher, Mrs. Hattie Fecteau, Miss
Margaret Lambert, Mrs. Macon
Price, Miss Annie Reece Spivey,
Miss Betty Simpson, Mrs. Clem
mie Wood, and Mrs. M. M. Wil
liams.
Plans for the new Nurses’ Aide
class are just about complete and
classes will begin very soon. Mrs.
Williams told us that she was
very pleased with the wonderful
response of volunteers.
Next week I want to tell you
about some girls who are really
doing a wonderful job and are do
ing their part to help both the
Hospital and the community.
Parker Wins
Silver Star
Corporal Marion J. Parker, oft
Roanoke Rapids, who crawled be
tween infantry and tanks to save
two battalions in Germany, ha3
been awarded the Silver Star
Medal for gallantry in action.
In Linninch, Germany, the cor
poral, at the risk of his life, went
forward under a heavy barrage of
German artillery and mortar fire.
He refused to use slit trenches and
foxholes and was exposed to fire
during the course of an entire'
night. Cpl. Parker later assisted
in building a bridge acorss a
canal Which was necessary to es
tablish an escape route for com
panion troops. He accomplished
both missions between dark and
dawn, under the most hazardous
conditions, and beyond the call of
duty. His action was cited as out
standing example of gallantry. The
action took place when the 7th
Armored Division was in combajj
on German soil. It was necessary
to establish coordination between
the tank and infantry battalions
in order to make a successful
_11.1_3_.... 1
Cpl. Parker, a tank crew mem
ber, was assigned to the 7th Ar
mored Division from Ft. Bragg,
N. C., about three years ago. The
Division was activated at Camp
Polk, La., and was partially train
ed with the 3rd Armored Divisior^
Mrs. W. W. Reaves and child
ren, Dawn and Jane, of Jackson,
