Ga., through the efforts of the more than two and one-ha- lf million rirls and adults of the Girl Scouts of the U. S. A. . It's the handsome, ante-bellu- m Wayne-Gordo- n mansion, consid-ered one of the best surviving examples of the many handsome residences erected in Savannah in the 1820s and 1830s. Action by the National Board of the Girl Scouts in 1053 saved the historic structure from be-ing torn down to make way for commercial development. Funds for its purchase and restoration were raised by the Girl Scouts and today it stands as a mem-orable example of Old South architecture. The structure, which occupies a quarter of a block, has been partially furnished with some of the original furniture. The re-maining pieces will be carefully selected to reflect the era and section of the country. In the bedroom which was occupied by Mrs. Low's parents, is the bed in whica Juliette Low was born. Girl Scouting officials chose an authentic Birge Colo-nial collection wallpaper pattern with which to decorate the room in which the Girl Scouts' found-er was born. At the suggestion of the Girl Scouts, the design, for many years a popular one known as "Mayfair Chintz," has been re-named the "Juliette Gordon Low" by The Birge Company of Buffalo, N. Y., oldest wallpaper :iir?!iH!iiiiinriiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiii!iiMitri!iiiiiiiuiiriiiiiiiii!iiimir manufacturer in the U. S. The firm has long been known for, its quality wallpaper products. Other Birge wallpapers weie also used in the restoration of the mansion. The mansion will be used as a center for Girl Scouting activi-ties in Savannah. Its carriage house has been converted into a troop house for Girl Scouts. Tha long neglected garden has been restored and is now alive with yucca, fig and pomegranate trees, colorful flowers and shrubs. The service yard has been converted into a play area for Girl Scouts visiting the home. The ground floor of the man-sion houses Girl Scout exhibits, a modern kitchen, dining space and an assembly hall. The house, when first com-pleted, consisted of an English basement, a principal or parlor floor and one floor of bedrooms. Another floor was added in the mid-1880- s. It is a spacious house with large rooms, crystal chandeliers, marble fireplaces and curved staircase. Distinguished American fig-ures visited it, among them Presidents William McKinley, and William Howard Taft, Ad-mirals W. S. Schley and George Dewey. llimillMiiiiriNmiMiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiifiiiiriiiiiMHiiit.!iiiiiiiiiM.

World over-producti- on and excessive U. S. imports have cut metal prices while operating costs have risen. This resulted in curtailed production and mine shutdowns. In the past year there were 2000 lost jobs in Utah metal mines and primary processing, with a payroll loss of $10,100,000. This Is a problem worthy of consideration by every Utahn.

Listening and Living Tammy Thompson (Continued from page 4) A scientific study of this pro-blem recommends that when children are adopted that it be a clean, decisive break for the sake of both the child and-o- r the parents. Your new parents took you into their home to fill the void "both in your life and theirs. They have showered you with love, affection, and guidance, for which you should be grate-ful. I know a family with several adopted children from various races and nationalities, and un-doubtedly as they reach the brink of becoming an adult that they too will ask themselves: "Who am I?" It matters not from whence they came but how well they blend into their pre-sent mode of life, each to be- - iiiiiiiiiiMiMiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiifiniiiiiiciiiiiiiti come "captain of his own soul." And so I say to you that the "adopted family" is often hap-pier than the regular family be-cause every member of the "adopted family" feels a keen responsibility for being able to have each other, and for ful-filling the void in the family unit. Not until you're the proud mother of a darling baby will you know what YOUR MOTHER must have sacrificed in order that YOU might grow up in a normal, healthy home filled with love and affection and PAR-ENTS! Make your adopted mother feel like Abraham Lin-coln felt about his mother, namely: "All that I am or ever hope to be. I owe to my ANGEL MOTHER."
