They are of average build and looks. They en joy children, especially girls be tween the ages of seven and 14. 1'hese three ladies were to have been unit leaders for the Girl Scout Day camp. Because these three cannot be found about 40 girls in this area have lost eight days out of their life’s exper iences that might have meant a great deal to their future happi ness and well being. These girls would have been able to work and play together under the guid ance of the Girl Scout laws and promise. They could have learned something of the wonders of God’s world and His handiwork. They could have learned to appreciate these beauties without destroying them These girls could have learned the use and care of ord inary tools and where, how and what kind of fire to build for warmth and cooking. There w'ould have been simple crafts, first aid. camp sanitation and swimming also to be learned; that is, if these three lost leaders could have been found. Civil Defense authorities tell us that we are approaching a time in our history when, even though we have miraculous conveniences by the train load, it is extremely important for each individual to know how to take care of one’s self easily and simply, regardless of the situation. During the last war, the soldiers who could adjust best under survival situations, w'ere the ones who had learned as children to look out for them selves. Scouting is an activity that promotes such training.

Cooley, chairman of the roads committee of the Chamber of Commerce, the local group, after an inspection trip over two possi ble routes, decided that the Old Mount Mitchell Toll Road offered the best and cheapest way for the road.
