GIRL SCOUT ACTIVITIES
Seven girls of Blue Bonnet
Troop No. 3 met at the Lloyd
Whitworth home Wednesday
August 22nd. Also present were
five mothers, Mrs. C. E. Nelson,
Mrs. Jimmie Adam, Mrs. Lohse,
Mrs. Malloy and Mrs. Joe Wer-
ner. Guests were Mrs. Joe Sill
and three grandchildren, Mrs.
Harry Grosser, Mrs. Roy Gom-
bert and children and Carla
Simmons, who has just returned
from Africa.
Belinda Bundy and Laura
Whitworth who have been work
ing on the “Horsewoman”
badge, performed on Laura’s
horse “Cindy”, so the ladies
could see whether or not they-
qualified for the badge accord-
ing to the requirements in the
Girl Scout book. They passed
the test and will be awarded the
badge.
The business part of the
meeting was started with the
showing of a picture which is
called “The Hope of a Nation”,
by Artist James M. Haines. An
article was read by Mrs. Whit-
worth, which describes the real-
istic conception of the picture.
It is a picture of the Holy Bible
and the American Flag and it
expresses the sublime principle
that patriotism, the noblest of
civic virtures, must be associa-
ted with Divine Power in order
to exist in its highest state. In
this article, Mr. Haines encour-
ages parents, who are the lead-
ers of America, to learn again
to appreciate the Christian prin-
ciples upon which America was
founded.
After this, the girls and moth-
ers sang “Grace” before having
refreshments of sandwiches,
cookies, and punch.
After having refreshments,
the leaders and mothers enjoy-
ed looking at craft books donat-
ed by Mrs. C. C. Whitworth of
Houston and discussing projects
for Girl Scout work. The first
meeting for this Troop will be
September 19th.
were 25 years ago and twice as
safe as they were 15 years ago.
In 1945 there were 11.5
deaths per 100 million miles
driver. Last year that rate had
been cut to 5.2, the lowest ever.
In that same period the num-
ber of vehicles on the highways
more than doubled to 76 million
and the number of licensed driv-
ers rose to 90 million.
In 1961 there were 2,000 few
er fatalities than 20 years ago
and yet Americans drove 400
billion more miles.
“With the ever-improving
traffic safety record, many safe
ty officials believe it is time
that automotive safety be ap-
proached positively,” says the
magazine. “The pleasures of
safe driving should be stressed
rather than the accident stories
that are frightening people off
the road. In fact, some people
suggest that the scare cam-f
paigns encourage the very acci-
dents they try to prevent.”
What is needed, believes the
writer, is the rediscovery that
there is fun in pleasure driving,
a weekend tour into the country,
a leisurely jaunt to a nearby
recreation area or historical site.
Mountain, woods, or the sea-
shore are within easy reach of)
almost everybody. Some even
prefer to embark with no par-
ticular destination in mind. The
open road never fails to unfold
with adventure, whatever the
corner of America.
“Enjoy your car,” urges The
Humble Way. “The old work-
horse may turn out to be some-
thing of a winged white steed.”

eled Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Kue-
ges. Entrance prize was for El-
gin Grona. The afternoon was
spent by playing cards and other
games.
At 5 o’clock the group enjoy-
ed refreshments of cake, coffee,
lemonade. Everyone reported a
most enjoyable day and are
looking forward to a bigget get
together next year.

AMERICAN'S ARE WORLD'S

THE FAMILY AUTOMOBILE
Americans are the world’s
best drivers and their driving
record has improved markedly
over the years, says an article
in the Summer issue of The
Humble Way published by the

Noting that families are
missing the old-time enjoyment
of the family car because of
scare headlines about death to-
tals and accidents, the article
cites some impressive statistics:
The nation’s roadways are
three times safer now than they
