GIRL SCOUT OATH
C) my honor, 1 will try:
To do my duty to God and to
my country,
To help other people at all
times,
To obey the Girl Scout laws.
Girl Scouts of Borger and
I throughout the nation mark Febru-
' ary as International Month on
i their calendars and devote many
| of their troop activities to work j
I 'or international friendship.
| One project that is occupying
| the attention of Scouts in Borger
i is the making and filling of Frienci-
j "hip Bags to be sent overseas to
Girl Guide and Girl Scout troops
for distribution among children.
These bags contain small nccessi-
j ties, like needles and thread and
i toothbrushes, plus a few luxury
items, like a hair ribbon and some
hard candy.
Reports from all Borger troops j
| Show that the girls are working j
] enthusiastically on the Friendship j
bags. Upon completion, these bags |
i arc tied in bundles of ten, and j
1 shipped to the foreign country j
i chosen by the troop or troops par-:
! ticipating in the making of the'
! ten Friendship bags.
Another effort on the part of 1
I the Girl Scouts to help build peace j
and friendship will be made
through the annual Juliette Low
i World Friendship Fund collection.)
This fund is a memorial to the;
founder of Girl Scouting in the j
United States. Individual Girl j
: Scouts give small sums to it —
j usually in the form of pennies.!
; representing each Scout's age, and t
when all the contributions arej
pooled, a special international j
committee of the national board of |
directors advises on where and
how the money will be spent. Dur-
| ing the war years the Juliette Low
World Friendship Fund gave many
thousands of dollars to help chii-
! dren abroad, and the Girl Scouts
; hope to make their first peacetime
i fund since Pearl Harbor as gen-

You can rejuvenate an aging slip cover and put across a gay decep-
tion which will add charm to your room by using simple tricks of
camouflage. Even a novice can swing the easy tricks suggested by
local sewing center experts.
Take the plain colored slip cover that's blighted by a threadbare
back, frayed skirt flounce and worn cushion. To rejuvenate, get
enough flowered print to applique a floral motif in the center of the
dilapidated back. Use the same material to flower-border the skirt
flounce and to replace the worn cushion cover.
By using your sewing machine's zig-iagger attachment, which
finishes as it stitches, applique motifs are a cinch to make. Raw edges
don't even need to be turned under.
Another treatment for the problem chair are partial slip covers
for head rest and arms which camouflaged frayed or faded spots. Dis-
guise a blighted chair top with an antimaca war hood and give arms
matching treatment with snugly fitting arm covers. Gay plaids or
flowered prints may be used to cover plain chairs or vice versa.
erous as possible so that Girl
Guides and Girl Scout groups in |
war ravaged countries may help
in rehabilitating their organiza-1
Jons.
As part of a world-wide move- j
ment the Girl Scout organization
places special emphasis on inter- :
national cooperation and friend-
ship in its troop programs through
the year, with February as the
special time when projects are
completed or new plans put under
way.
Some (if the international activ- i
ilie>' of Borger troops that will be
highlighted during International
Month include F e b r u a r y 22,
"Thinking Day", the day that Girl j
Guides and Girl Scouts around the i
world make plans for closer kin- i
ship with their sister Guides and -
Scouts in other countries.
February 25 and 2ti is the time
set for the Juliette Low World
Friendship Collection in Borger.
The intermediate scouts will have
their program and revel on the
25 at Fast Ward; the Brownies
will hold their observance the fol-
lowing day, the 2'i, in the Weath-
erly school auditorium. Miss Nor-
ma Ewing, regional Girl Scout di-
rector, will be here on those days
to participate in the festivities.
Mrs. Fritz Thompson and Mis.
Propes arc in charge of the pro-
gram for the two days.

HL'AD IN THE CLOUDS
WORLAND, Wyo.,Feb. 1
—Any plans Herman Rauchfuss of
Woiland and Henry Schmidt of
Lovell had for raising cattle on
the planet of Mars or Pluto have
been more or less left in space.
The two war veterans applied
to the U. S. grazing service for
land on Mars and said they were
offered instead grazing rights on
Pluto.
Now — what with Pluto so far '
off (and considering other disad-
vantages) — the two have obtain-
ed equipment and will go into the
road construction business.
Says Rauchfuss: "We are get-!
ting down to earth."
