PRIMER for PARENTS Scouts Prepare To Send Kto To Korea for Korea, a nation-wide project of the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A., Is being enthusiastically supported by troops in Washington County, it was reported today by Mrs. Martin H.

Thurmond, Council president. The girls are making drawstring bags of gaily colored cotton and filling them with small useful articles for children of Korea. The bags are being filled with such things as a pocket comb, soap, tooth brush, safety pins, needle and thread, a hair ribbon and similar items that people here in the United States take for granted as daily necessities but which are almost nonexistent in stripped and war-torn Korea. Mrs. Thurmond stated that most of the 60 local troops have started work on Kits and so far have completed more than 50.

February 22 was set as the date of the first nation-wide ingathering of Kits for Korea, Mrs. Thurmond stated. This date was selected for the great American patriotic holiday, but also a special occasion for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world. February 22 was the birthday of the late Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Scouting movement for both boys and girls. It is also the birthday of Lady Baden-Powell World Chief Guide.

It is observed as Thinking Day when Girl Guides and Girl Scouts are especially aware of the mutual ideals and principles which form them into a world sisterhood. Many Scouts and Guides exchange cards or small gifts across the seas on Thinking Day, and Mrs. Thurmond said that Kits for Korea made most appropriate gifts to send abroad on that day. The Washington County Girl Scouts will hold county-wide in-gathering of Kits on March 9, when the Juliette Low representatives meet The troops are asked to have completed Kits in the office by that time. It is anticipated that more than 175 will be sent from Washington County --to American Relief for Korea, the agency which is cooperating with the Girl Scouts in shipping the Kits abroad.

The week of March 12 is Girl Scout Week. The 42nd Anniversary of Girl Scouting occurs on March 12--the day when Juliette Low brought Girl Scouting to Savannah. and to the girls of the U.S.A. Brownies of Troop 50. Funkstown School have taken their Brownie Promise "to help other people every day most seriously.

By going without movies, cokes, ice cream, they have purchased enough articles to fill 14 kits. Even cooks at Funkstown School noticed the sale of ice cream fell off for a while. The Girl Scouts of Korea, a small, comparatively new, but very active organization, were consulted by 'the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. before the Kits for Korea project was established, Mrs. Thurmond reported.

It was at their suggestion that the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. collect and send the children of Korea the small necessities that are so scarce in that country. Above all, they said, put them in brightly colored containers to bring some Several pre-nuptial events were held last week in Hancock lor Miss Cherry R.
