Julliette Low, Founder Of Girl
Scouts, Was Woman Of Courage
Life Is An Inspiration To
AH Girls. She Overcame
Many Hardships
On Oct. 31, 1860, in Savannah,
Ga., a baby girl was born, to Mr.
and Mrs. R. Gordon.
This baby girl was to become
famous. She was to become known
to almost a million girls all over
the world, as Julliette Low, the
founder of the Girl Scouts in
America .
Although Julliette Gordon’s
childhood was shadowed by the
privations of the Civil War. it
was far from unhappy.
“Daisy,” as she was known by
her friends and family, was “ring
leader” with the children, always
popular. She improvised games to
play, anything from keeping house
in the large trees in the yard, to
elaborate cross country games and
acting out plays.
After Julliette outgrew the little
school in Savannha, Ga., she was
sent to Virginia for further study
and later to New York City.
Like every other young girl,
Julliette Gordon dreamed of the
day she would make her debut;
and like every other young girl
she also dreamed of the day she
would marry.
She had her debut and soon her
“prince charming” appeared. In
1886, she became Mrs. William
Low, and went to England to live.
It was on this trip, her honey
moon, the sad accident occurred
which was to make her deaf the
the rest of her life.
However, her indomitable
spirit refused to accept defeat in
any form. She had a purpose in
life and nothing was going to alter
that purpose. She lead a busy
social life, was presented to the
Queen, worked at drawing and
sculpturing: and even at wrought
iron. A young woman of many
talents, she was well-fitted for the
role she wTas to later play in the
lives of thousands of girls.
She would often visit her home
in America, between travels to
other countries, including Egypt
and India.
As she had no children, her life
would have been very lonely, after
Mr. Low's sudden death, but for
tune smiled on her in the person
of Lord Baden-Powell, and at once
became intensely interesting in
the Scouting movement, giving
herself to it completely.
She not only started the move
ment here in this country, but
gave a great deal of help and en
couragement to the organization
in other countries as well.
All through her life Mrs. Low
was keen for adventure, no day
was uneventful. Talented, w’itty,

SWAP-WORK PLAN ROUTS
LABOR SHORTAGE ENEMY
Farm labor battalions captured
all their objectives at Newport,
Carteret County. Twenty farm
families of the Crab Point com
munity, led by General R. P.
Oglesby, pooled their machinery,
their work stock, their labor, their
tobacco plants and other things
necessary to the success of local
farming enterprises and routed
the farm labor shortage which at
tacked their section without warn
ing some weeks ago.
General Oglesby produces Irish
potatoes, cabbage, sweet potatoes,
tobacco, cotton and hogs. When
the enemy attacked, he found him
self with two tractors, five head
of mules, and practically no labor.
He called in Neighbor Bill Wil
liams and made him captain of
one tractor outfit. He himself led
the other tractor division.
with a great sense of fun, coupled
with her love of people, especial
ly young people, taught her a re
spect for personality and led her
to treat everybody, young and old
alike, with understanding and con
sideration.
One of Mrs. Low’s outstanding
virtues was her love of animals.
Most of her pets were waifs and
strays she picked up and nursed
back to health.
Julliette Low died in January,
1927, in Savannah, Ga., where she
was buried, at the age of 67.
A few months after death the
Julliette Low Memorial Fund was
begun, in her memory. In mem
ory of the intense interest she
took in the girls of all nations
and her far-reaching belief, the
importance of personal friendships
among them.
Girls Scout troops and friends
of Girl Scouting all over the Uni
ted States contribute to this Fund
every year. It will, as always, con
tinue to be used in the way that
seems best for bringing about
a better understanding among
young people of different coun
tries.

“I got it from Jack.”

“That's how I got it.”
“How are you getting along with
your wife?”
“Oh, everything I tell her goes.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, it goes all over town in
a few minutes.”

HOME CANNING AID
GIVEN HOUSEWIVES
New Information Service Es
tablished In A&P Stores
In This Area
A special information service to
help housewives make 1943 the
biggest home-canning year in his
tory has been established in A &
P Food stores in this area, it was
announced today.
This new service is designed to
answer the questions of many wo
men who plan to can, pickle, or
preserve fresh fruits and vege
tables this summer. Free leaflets
containing easy-to-follow, approved
methods of home canning will be
available in the company’s stores.
Facts on how many pounds of
the fresh fruit or vegetable it
takes to put up a certain quantity
of canned fruit as well as informa
tion on when each commodity is
available in sufficient quantity to
warrant canning also will be fur
nished in the stores and in news
paper advertisements.
Aiding War Effort
Housewives will be contributing
to the war effort materially by do
ing home canning especially at
periods when fresh fruits and
vegetables are available in the
greatest quantities. Canning at
such peak periods of production
will result in the conservation of
large quantities of these perish
able foods that otherwise might
be wasted. At this time, too, bet
ter buys will be available to con
sumers. Housewives also will find
their shopping under point ration
ing to be simpler next winter if
they have home-canned food with
which to supplement their daily
menus.
Because millions of women are
planning to do home canning for
the first time this summer and
other millions plan to increase
their canning both governmental

PLANNING ISN’T NEW
THE way a lot of people are talking these days, you’d
think planning is something new.
But anybody who’s ever run a farm or a factory knows
that if you don’t plan, you can't get the most out of
what you have to work with.
To plan properly, the farmer has to know about crops,
soils, seasons, tools, and stock; and the man operating a
factory has to know about machines, markets, science,
and engineering.
Yet for ail this specialized knowledge which each of
these activities requires, the managers of both farm and
factory have much in common in their planning. They
have the same problems—to mention a few—of em
ployment and taxes, of costs and a fair profit, of setting
aside reserves for a “rainy day.”
And they have the same objective in their planning
—to do everything they can for their country today,
and, tomorrow, to make a fair living through greater
service to their fellow Americans. General Electric Com

How did I know you’d need bombs ?
..
MORE than half the bombs this country makes
exist by what you might call an ‘accident.’
“Some accident, too! I saw it happen.
“It was 1935. We research wrorkers at Esso were
trying many things with petroleum to see what else
we could learn about it. And up came a process
for synthetic toluol.
“Well, you need toluol to make TNT. But coal
tar was providing all the toluol the country needed
—then.
“However...all the toluol you could get from
coal-tar would make far less than half the
TNT were using now! The other half is
made by that Esso process perfected hack
in 1935.
“Now.,,1 didn’t know then that you’d
need bombs, and neither did you. And I can hear
a lot of people say ‘Boy was that discovery a lucky
thing!’. . .
“But I don’t call it luck. I call it the American
idea at work. We hit qn that process because free
American people expect so much that American
companies have to learn everything they can about
new and better methods just to stay out front in
business.
“If this war didn’t prove anything else, it
would prove that nothing like America ever ex
isted anywhere before.
What other idea ever did so many people
so much good in peacetime? What other
idea ever turned out so much might so fast
in time of war?”
