“THINKING DAY” TO BE OBSERVED Girl Scouts Here Will Join World - Wide Movement On Powell Anniversary In international Girl Scout cir cles today, February 22nd, is known as “Thinking Day.” the day that Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world make plans for closer kinship with their sisters, guides and scouts in other coun tries. According to Mrs. G. D. Greer, Girl Scout commissioner of Wil mington, the idea started at the first World Conference of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts held at the Girl Scout Camp Edith Macy, Pleasantville, N. Y., in 1926, when the world was at peace. Delegates from Girl Scout organizations in twenty-nine countries were gather ed there, including Lord Baden Powell, founder of both Boy and Girl Scout movements; Lady Bad en-Powell; and Juliette Low, who established the Girl Scout move ment in the United States. Powell Birthday In the course of the meetings, tomeone suggested, in commemo ration of this feeling, that a day be set aside each year on which Girl Guides and Girl Scouts thought ®f their sister Guides and Scouts in ether lands, sending as it were a wave of friendly thought around fhe world. “Thinking Day,” was the result, and because February *2 was the birthday of Lord Bad- . in-Powell it seemed fitting that that should be the day. “Thinking Day”, Mrs. Greer 1 stated, has remained the practice j >f Scouts and Guides everywhere ! fci spite of wars. Today the Girl -- other countries which escaped the physical ravages of war, are giv ing tangible expression to their :houghts in the way of gifts of nec ;ssities to their T less fortunate - vorld neighbors. As a national or ganization, out of pennies contri juted to the Juliette Low World friendship fund by the Girl Scouts >f the United States much is being ione to help the Girl Guides and icouts in war-torn areas.

And con sumers will purchase what they need, and not scramble for every thing in sight, because they will know that on account of the in creased production the purchasing power of the dollar will be lower ed as production increases. Business and industry are guaranteed markets for all they can produce in the next several years-if prices do not get out of control. No one would propose that these controls be continued indefinitely, but it is very necessary that they be continued until production has reached the point that it will auto matically take care of these in flationary tendencies. One example, out of many I could refer to, is one of Wilming ton’s oldest and most reputable clothing merchants last week were charging $4.25 for a known brand white shirt which this same firm 3 years ago was selling for $1.65. What has happened since VJ-day clearly shows that we would be courting disaster if these controls are discontinued before the infla tion threat has been, definitely con quered. I hope you can and will help in the early extension of the price control program. (Signed) N. S. Haskett Wilmington, N. C.
