Girl Scout News
The Girl Scout troops of Nome
celebrated their fifth birthday
with a dinner last evening with
their mothers as guests.
The tables were set in the Pio
neer Hall with lace table cloths
and bowls of fresh carnations.
Over a hundred guests were
served a delicious supper which
culminated with the serving of
^ the Scout birthday cake, made
and decorated by Mrs. Walter
Glavinovich.
The Brownies under direction
of their leader, Mrs. Lud Urich,
sang two of their favorite scout
songs, after which Mrs. L. Dun
bar gave a short history of Girl
Scouting in Nome, calling to mind
that some of the girls of the orig
inal group organized by Mrs. V
Booker wife of the pastor of the
« Fererated Church were now mem
bers of the present senior group
The Senior Intermediate group
performed their registration cer
emony which included the bear
ing of the Alaska, Scout and Am
erican flags, after which the Se
nior group renewed their pledge
with a candlelighting ceremony
and received the certificates for
their group.
The speaker of the evening,
Mrs. Robert Treat, was intro
duced by Scout leader and toast
mistress Mrs. E. Gallagher. Her
subject was “Girls in Japan”, and
due to the fact that Mrs. Treat
• spoke from personal .experience
she was able to tell the girls many
interesting things that a Girl
Scout would do in Japan in order
to be a good Scout.
Some of the outstanding things
that impressed the listeners were
the limited variety of food that
the Japanese girls had and the
small and compact way in which
they lived. Her talk will long be
remembered by the girls.
The Senior girls presented a
comic skit at the close of the pro
» gram which was enjoyed by all.

PALMER, UP)—The solitude of
the mountain peaks that rim the
Matanuska Valley will be dis
turbed by a strange visitor this

weeks a helicopter will drop a
booted man with a pack of strange
instruments atop a peak each day
and return for him in the evening.
It will be Uncle Sam’s man

the geological survey, making up
Alaska’s map anew.
Work on the valley area began
two years ago, and probably will
be finished this summer. A crew
of 10 men, the helicopter’s passen
