Scouts Fly Up Through Archway
Of Greenery, Yellow Roses
FLY-UP! The very name of
this big step in the life of a Girl
Scout has an exciting sound to
it and that excitement commun-
icates itself quickly to third-year
Brownies while they prepare
themselves to take this step.
Friday, May 25, at 8 p.m. was
the magical moment for Brown-
ie Troop No. 976 of Braeburn
Elementary School, for that was
the time for their fly-up cere-
mony at Meyer Bros, auditorium.

received their wings that even-

plete their fly-up requirements.
The troop decided to make their
impending fly-up the subject of
their exhibit at the Golden An-
niversary Exhibition at Sharps-
town in March. The archway
through which they passed after
receiving their wings was decor-
ated with strips of green paper
twisted around wire to form a
WTeathlike effect. The yellow
roses which were presented to
their mothers, and also used in
decorating the table for their
candlelight ceremony, were all
their own handicraft.
Each girl was escorted by her
father, who proudly pinned the
wings on her at the opening of
the ceremony. At the close of
the fly-up, during which candles
were lit to represent the Pro-
mise, Slogan, Motto and Laws of
the Girl Scouts, the girls were
hostesses for refreshment for
their families and friends.

fledged Intermediate Scouts, are;

Our Side ...
(Continued from page 1)
But suspect in the minds fit
some folks were other reasons.
Say, perhaps, that he was being
“purged” by Bertron forces, now
that Jim was safely reelected as
GOP county chairman This
thought was voiced but, of
course, denied.
Came the vote, with all Hit-
ting around in a oircle and
Brother Geyer tolling off the
count. When it got down to
Cowboy Davis the vote was
four for Joe, four against. And
the “go for Joe” forces were
lost. Their peerless leader east
out.
But no. Cowboy Davis east h>«
vote for Mr. Fournaee. He
switched, he said, because —
after listening to arguments pro
and con he decided that Joe had,
indeed, been the very personifi-
cation of the Republican party
in these parts.
So the vote was five to rout
for Mr. Foumace. And when t.he
whole thing was over, there wer®
a few sharp words, some to the
effect that Lou deserted Joe on
such an important matter »»
turning one’s back on the man
who helped one achieve consid-
erable political prominence.
Since Mr. Wallace was pic-
tured as a ringleader of the “no
for Joe” forces, he was duely
contacted by this observer and
asked if the rumor was true
that he had entertained Ma.
Bertron at a political rally in
his precinct and that Bertron
had muttered that if elected he
would see to it that “Joe would
go.”
Not at all, replied Jack Wal-
lace. “It was our thought that if
we could get someone who didn’t)
have so many duties, we could
work better in the organizational
phases of the thing and make a
better showing in November.”
Then, too, he said: “We fig-
ured a lot of work was to be
done, knock on doors and work
better with county headquarters
. . . course, Joe’s been here a
long time, stood up here and said
‘I’m a Republican’ when others
wouldn’t do it.
“I guess I’ve learned a good
political lesson; Joe’s a good
leader.”
Anyhoo, Mr. Wallace said lie
bore Cowboy Davis no ill feel-
ing—“maybe my approach was
a mistake. And we are in agree-
ment in working with our chair-
man. I feel we will all get to-
gether and work together and
I intend to work with Joe.”
Thus ended the revolt. Will
the memory linger on?
