LETTljR ^)Q THE EDITOR
"*£ S'-'"' ‘
Dear; gdi^or,
Opfoberisthe birth month of,
Juliette Lowe, the Founder of the
Girl Scout Movement in the Unit
ed States. We wish to take this op
portunity to tell you something of
the work we. are doing for the
scouts here in Kodiak and to ask
for your support.
The present movement in Ko
diak is less than two years old, but
the town now has four Brownie
Troops and four Intermediate
Scout Troops. There are two new
Brownie Troops and a Senior troop
in the process of being organized.
This rapid growth has rather over
whelmed the Community Commit
tee, which is composed of all adults
registered with Troops or actively
interested in the welfare of the
girls. The committee pays for in
surance on all girls and leaders
during scout activities, contributes
to the day camp, both time and
money, trains leaders and co-lead
ers In addition it arranges, and
sometimes supplies refreshments
for activities involving more than
one troop, or all the troops, such
as the annual Court of Awards.
Our most vital need is for a
building of our own where we can
store supplies, equipment and re
fc ference books for the use of all, as
pj well as a place for meeting. We
| have petitioned the school board I
jj for the use of extra Quonset huts. |
1 If we are granted permission to g
I use the huts, there will be utilities |
j to pay for as well as paint and
3 lumber to fix them up. Also we .
Iare very anxious to be able to buy
some'tools for more advanced craft
work than has been possible in the
past, and some,,books of crafts
skill; games and songs.
It would also be ^ tremendous
help if we could keep a small sup
ply of necessities, such as hand
books and pins, on hand, as you
know how slow orders are in reach
ing Kodiak. •; •
■> Then too the troops also need
some funds. Each new troop starts
out with nothing and it takes a
good many weeks for ten cent dues
to add up. Therefore it has been
our practice to try and start out
new troops with a small treasury
and give additional assistance if
the need arises.
Support does not necessarily
mean financial support, though we
Ido need that too. Support can
mean encouragement, or providing
opportunities for Community Ser
vice, or just thinking of us when
you have left over materials,
paints, second hand tools and the
like.
Yours very truly,
Girl Scout Community Com
mittee of the City of Kodiak

‘ UNEMPLOYMEMNT CLAIMS '
| -DOWN FROM LAST YEAR i
* Net benefit payments front the
Unemployment Compensation fund
, for the first nine months of 1955
, totaled $5,915,950.91 which is
i $104,019.35 less than the $6,019,
1 >790.26 paid during the first nine
1 r months of 1954. This is the iirst
* time this year that benefit pay
! ments for the year to date are less
, than they were as of the same date
i a year ago.
i q. Benefit payments for the first
1 calender quarter’s experience un
1 fder the new benefit formula - - -
namely, July, August and Septem
bere - - - were $230,861.23, which
is approximately $360,000 less than
.the $591,592.82 expended for the
same three months in 1954. This
decrease of approximately 60% is
primarily due to an approximate
50% decrease in claims for unem
, ployment insurance received dur
i ing this period. It is obviously dif
> ficult to predict how long this de- r
' crease in claims will continue.
