Nix on the burning of leaves ? save them for the hungry soil. A cow in these good days must be more than just a cow. She must be a proved and profitable producer. Wise California fruit growers can their surplus peaches in sum mer to sell in winter to North Car olinians who let their surplus peaches go to waste. That we cut and burn timber three times as rapidly as it grows, proves that North Carolina is not ?yet awake to the needs and possi bilities of timber production. Tom, Tom, the farmer's son, with all the prizes at the county wit hall the prizes . at the county fair. Wives are proud of husbands who can and will use some of their spare winter hours for installing home conveniences. The- closing year is a good time to ask yourself : "How many' of my acres in cultivation this year pro duced cost plus?" ' , A good deal of alarm is mani fie^ted because Congress will soon assemble to save the country. It is announced that 'there are 25,000 poets in this country, which ought to encourage the makers of wastebaskets. . r, r The idealists are often nomin ated by the politicians for offices to which they stand no chance of getting elected. THE GIRL SCOUTS The ?irl Scouts were organized in Brevard last May by Miss Flor ence Lyles. Under Miss "Lyles the girls took their tenderfoot test and the following became register ed Scouts at ? the national head quarters: Mary Johnson, Ednn King, Christine Snelson, Catherine Osborne, Ellen English, Apnie Yongue, Nancy Macfje, and Eliza beth Shipman. Bertie Ballard was made first-lieutenant and Elizabeth Zachary second-lieutenant. Ttye troop, which took as ifs em-, blem, the Laurel, disbanded for the summer months, but came to gether the first of September with Renewed, vigoir prid enthusiasm. They began immediately to, plan the years work and . draw up their aims. One of the immediate aims is a camping trip for a week after school ? To-, go camping means mon ey so the troop decided to work for every cent they use. One of the scout laws is "A Girl Scout is Thrifty," and up )to jthis law the Laurel troop will try to live. In October Louise Hughes, Ade laide Silversteen, and Opal Mont gomery passed the Tenderfoot test and became registered Girl Scouts. All Scouts are now working on their Second Class test and a. few have almost completed their > work. One aim of scouting 'is to get out with nature and enjoy and un derstand the great out-of-doors. "There are many good books, my child, But the best of them all for you " Is the book that is hid in the greenwood , wild, All bou^id in a cover of blue. ? 't 'Tis the book of the birds and the bees , Of the flowero and fish in the brook You may learn how to read if you go to the trees ,1 And open your eyes and look. ? ? -KEELER. Another aim of scouting is to be j useful and help others. It is the de sire of the troop here to be of real service to the community and if J they fail in this purpose they fail | < Jg "ij?8 in the purpose of their organ iaa tion. They expect to havo a good time and enjoy scouting, but thejr good . time and fun are juBt train- ? era to enable them to teach others by example and deed how to make little things count and be happy. / The national organization is now working on a big program for constructing a national headquart^ ers building in New York City. They iare polling Iwicks !for /ben dollars a piece to ? people every whero and the local organisation , hopea to be able to buy ope. The Girl ' Scdutis expeci to have their uniforms in the . near' future yg! and hope to be recogftized by the f-jM Brevard citizens as a vital and ; v..! important organization for real constructive work. They also expect : to increase the number of girls ii} V their troop in the spring and hopei ; eventually to be able to claim, ev- $ ery girl of scout'age as a true Girl r- }Wm Scout in body and in spirit, but ? //'J this naturally has to be 'done by: degrees.
