Pine Cone Troop goes on Hike to Weldon On last Wednesday at noon the Girl Scouts of the Pine Cone troop seized the opportunity to go on a hike. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Byrd and Leader Josephine Hege. We left school at 11:40 A. M. We reached the station about the time the train came in. We bade our teachers, who were going off, goodby with tears in our eyee (?), for we do not like holidays (Queer is it not?). While we were there we ate our lunch, which we had carried with us. Then we 'start ed on our joyful journey. We stopped at a little house on the side of the road to get water. Here we saw two very attractive children who gave us some water, out of s coconut shell. We cer tainly enjoyed it. We reached Weldon about 1:30 A. M. The girl scouts stayed on the sidewalk while Miss Blakely, a guest, and Miss Byrd bought provisions for our supper, with the money each girl gave. V'e look our food and Suit teu out to find a place to camp. After much such searching we found an attractive place, oh the bank of the river, at the back of the hatchery. , Each girl was given instructions concerning f re making. Then a part of the semophore code was taught to us by Lieutenant Byrd. Last but not least our supper. You can talk about good things to eat, but we had the best that has ever been spread on a camp ing ground. We roasted wenies and marshmallows, until we did not want anymore. About 6:20 we started for home. The girls were tired but happy. We all are ready for another hike any time. Scribe Thelma Mills. Girl Scouts Distribute Flowers to Sick and Invalids On Wednesday, the 23rd, the scouts of the Goldenrod Troop met at the Junior-Senior High School to distribute flowers to the sick people at the hospital and at home. The troop left the school in double file, about 2:150 P. M. Everybody seemed so glad to see us that we wished we had had a truck full of flowers to give away. After distributing the flowers, Patrol Leaders, Corrine Marks and Rosalee Corbitt took us on a hike, which we enjoyed very much indeed. Catherine Hmes. A GIRL SCOUT A Girl Scout is loyal, brave and true, And just as pure as the morning dew, ' She does not tell untruths at all, But helps you up if yta stum Die and ' fall, into some bad thing. u-. 4 . She's always courteous to rich and toor, ' And not in your face she closes the door, But opens it widevto let .you in, If you are growing old and thin. She's just as thrifty as can be, And always nice, neat, and clean, And at her work she' gaily sings, She does not quarrel about a thing, v No matter the sadness that comes into her heart, , From her gladness does not part Rosa Lee Corbitt SCOUT SONGS Sung to the tune: There'll be a Hot Time in the" Old Town To night.

Notice is received from the headquarters of the North Caro lina Tuberculosis Association that 37,000 letters containing 100 Christmas Seals each will be mailed to as many homes in North Carolina today. Accom panying the Seals is a letter re questing the recipient to;Tpur chase the number of Seals sent at one cent each in order that the fight against tuberculosis- may be waged again next j?ear. These letters are settl o$ly to towns and communities iri which the association has no , local chairman, and the receipts re ceived trom this source constitute the main support of the State Association, as in towns where a chairman has charge of the work 75 per cent of the receipts are retained in that community for local tuberculosis work. With the funds ' received .from the mail sale letters the Associa tion expects to enlarge the clinic work, which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, is one of the most important phases of the . tuberculosis campaign, This service meansthat the cases of tu berculosis will be found farly, while, they are in a curable stage; and will mean the saving of many lives and the prevention cf additional sources of infection. Anyone not receiving a supply of Seals through the regular channels and wishing to aid in the work may order Seals direct from the North Carolina Tuber culosis Association, Sanatorium, North Carolina.
