Hundreds of thousands more are waiting to join. More girls of Utah Valley When you're making out your Christ- mas gift list this year, don't forget the Girl Scout This is the appeal being made by leaders of the Utah Valley Girl Scout Council who this week launched the annual council fund drive. Your Christmas gift contribution to Girl Scouting, they pointed out, will help to finance numerous Girl Scout activities, some of which are portrayed in the pictures on this page. Citizenship, homemaking, gardening, arts and crafts, recreation, health and safety these are some of the many fields of activity in which the girls engage. A fine summer camp at Trefoil Ranch in the South Fork of Provo Canyon provides wholesome summer activity for the youngsters of the 20 troops of Girl Scouts enroHed in eight communities of Utah Valley. Girl Scouting in the United States was founded March 12f 1912. Today about nine out of every 100 girls 7 can become members only when more men and women volunteer their services and financial support in - order to strengthen the Girl Scout program. Your support may help girls, now on the waiting list, to join, say council leaders. Rex Home of Provo is chairman of the fund drive committee; J. Edwin Stein is treasurer and H. E. Nicholson is legal advisor. Mrs. B. L. Fagin and Mrs. L. F. Moore are in charge of publicity. There are many other workers, not only in Provo but in other communities of the valley as well. Funds you pay in your Christmas gift to Girl Scouting will be used for operation and maintenance expenses in the county, including insurance, supplies and upkeep of the summer camp, and salaries for help employed at Trefoil Ranch during camping season. ijit . mMafliHHKi'',M(r ' iH ftjfl .... . . , n iniiiJMBBBBHBBBBB WONT MAMA BE SURPRISED!
