B-3—THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1943.

By the Way— _BETH BLAINE_

The Commissioner of Girl Scouts for the District of Co- lumbia, Mrs. Edward W. Sturde- vant, began her 6Cout work al- most 20 years ago. She first be- came interested, she says, be- cause she wanted to give her little daughter (now a grown- up and very lovely young lady overseas as a captain in Red Cross Clubmobile) the character- building qualities which she felt the scout training had to offer— and she wanted to- learn from that same training how to be a

better mother. And the next thing she* knew she had a scout troop herself and was knee- deep in scout work!

Wherever she went—and she went almost everywhere with her Marine officer husband—to New- port and Quantico (where she organized the first Girl Scout troop!, to Port Leavenworth and to Panama and to China, where she worked with the scouts in Shanghai, she became more and more a part of Girl Scout or- ganization, and she feels now more than ever in these trying war times that the spirit and ideas for which the Girl Scouts stand is more important to the youth, of our land than ever in its history. It has been said that there is grave danger that a nation at war may neglect the very thing for which it fights— its children and their future. The future belongs to the chil- dren of America. Girl scouting helps to make them strong to keep it safe.

There are 10 fields of activity in the Girl Scouts: community life, health and safety, homemak- ing, international friendship, arts and crafts, literature and drama- tics, music and dancing, nature study, the out-of-doors and sports and games. In all of these the young girls are given help and the right kind of recreational activities. They build strong healthy bodies and healthy minds. They are taught the full- ness and the richness of the simple things in life—how to have a good time without spending a lot of money—the beauty and the soul satisfaction of a walk in the country, supper cooked at an out- door fire, the loveliness of a sun-

set, the gayety of a good song with good friends, the love of people and the love and enjoy- ment of all things good.

Mrs. Sturdevant thinks that women can do no more important job than by helping their young girls be the kind of girls they ought to be. Now living in Wash- ington, where her husband has been lent to the Navy Depart- ment for duty in Naval Intelli- gence, she has been commissioner of Girl Scouts for the past two years. New leaders are needed, she says—young women to help guide these growing girls. Not to tell them WHAT to do but to tell them HOW best to do what they want. Special training courses are going on now to prepare young women to be troop leaders —if you’re Interested, call Na- tional 0400 or go to the scout
