of good tools and incentive in
vestments. Today *our corpora
tions are retaining smaller pro
fits that may be turned into tools.
In 1946, though it was the best
year on record, manufacturing
establishments averaged only 5
cents profit (use of tools) out of
the sales dollar. The corporation
average was less than that. We
must not forget the importance of
tools. We need profit, for pro
fit means tools.

The meeting was called to or
der by the president, Ruth Fager
strom. We said the pledge to the
Flag and the Girl Scout Promise.
We discussed the proper way
to wear our uniform. You should
never wear any kind of jewelry
with the uniform. It is all right
to wear a watch though. We should
always look neat and remember
that the things we say and do
while in uniform reflect on all
Girl Scouting. The chosen color
for the tie of our troop is yellow.
May 1st is our troop's birthday.
All girls in our troop must re-reg
ister before that date. The girls
first joined in 1945.

the Sports and Games field.
We all worked on our Sewing

are to bring something of our
own to mend.
