As Girl Scout Leaders
Retirees, Childless Folks Seen Valuable
What do y?>u picture when you
hear the words "Girl Scout volun
teer?" An athletic, outdoors)
mother of three who combines Girl
Scout volunteer work with home
making?
01 course, that picture still fits
many ol the workers, hut with more
mothers entering the paid work
1 1 tree, the Girl Scouts are beginning
to iook to other sources tor their
volunteers. The traditional image
ot the Girl Scout volunteer may be
in tor a major overhaul.
Belly Busucca. pn bl ic int'orma
lion director for Pines t?f Carolina
Girl Seoul Council, views the
change as a positive one.
"Why shouldn't healthy, young ?
at ? heart retirees gel involved with
Scouting, for instance?" asks
Busucca. "We would eertainl\ put
their knowledge and experience 10
i!ix>d use."
Busaeea adds thai tlu Girl
Seouis would also like to reeruit
more young, single adults.
"There are a lot of single people
out there who arc looking tor ways
to make a contribution to their
community. I can't think of a
hetter *va* than Girl Scouting.
-Childless couples. too. could
become involved in the program.

prerequisite to being a positive
influence in u young girl's life."
Another popular misconception
is that the only volunteer position in
the Girl Scouts is that of troop
leader. While the Girl Scouts
Continue to have a need tor troop
leaders, the most desperate need
right now is for people with
administrative skills, says Busacca.
Pines ot Carolina has key positions
lor volunteers as service unit man
agers. council trainers, troop con
sultants. and troop organizers.
Pines of Carolina is one of seven
Girl Scout councils in North Caro
lina. It costs over SI million just to
keep one council running. The cost
of equipment, camp maintenance
and office supplies is astronomical,
but the efforts of volunteer workers
help keep some of the costs down.
Busacca observes that "the
dollar value of hours provided by
our volunteers would boggle the
mind. 14 United Ways provide
about 40% of the operations cost,
but the rest must come from the
community."
The Girl Scouts appear to be
experts at customizing job oppor
tunities to fit the volunteers' avail
able time and expertise. Such
customizing is necessary since the
organization has now grown to
include about 158.000 troops in the
U.S. and its territories. This
growth means that the Girl Scouts <
need more volunteers than ever,
but as Busacca is quick to point
out. the benefits work both ways:
"This kind of work can give a
person a practical background for a
paid job or other opportunity
later. ..and in this council, volun
teers can become policy makers as
well as workers. But 1 think the
biggest return on the investment of
time is the personal satisfaction -*
knowing you've made a difference j
in these girls' lives."
The statewide number lor Pines
of Carolina Girl Scout Council is
I -800-662-7579. from 8:30 a.m. to
8:30 p.m., Mondays through
Fridays; and 1-5 p.m. Saturdays
and Sundays.

WEEDS IN WHEAT
Hoke Countv has planted ap-.
proximately 5,000 acres of soft red
winter wheat which will be harvest
ed this May-June. Keeping fields
free of the winter annual weeds
such as mustard, vetch, wild garlic,
wild onion, henbit, dock, and
chickweed is essential.
With fewer weeds present, the
wheat plant does not have to
compete as strongly for nutrients
and moisture. The 1982 North
Carolina Agricultural Chemicals
Manual recommends spraying 2.4
D (amine form) when grain is 4-8
inches tall or after tillering, but
before 'jointing'. Spraying small
grain too young or after jointing
can result in reduced yields and
uneven ripening. The higher rates ,
of 2.4-D listed in the manual I
increase the risk of grain injury.
For a copy of this manual send

Education. P.O. Box 5125, Ra
leigh. NC 27650, Attention Bruce
Winston.
LEASING TOBACCO QUOTA?
The price of leased tobacco
quota is determined through the
competitive bidding of growers in a
county for the poundage quota of
others. Therefore, each grower
needs to assess whether he can
afford to lease additional quota.
Two conditions which determine
the maximum amount that a
grower can pay for leased quota
are:
(1 ) expected price of tobacco,
(2) the added cost for producing
leased poundage.
I Tobacco budget forms showing
| costs and returns estimates with
efficient practices are available at
I your county Extension office so
| growers can develop their own
estimates to meet individual farm
conditions.
