Girl Scout Drive Leaders Map Plans A briefing meeting for campaign leaders of the Girl Scout Ozark Fund Drive was at the Memorial Methodist Church in Farmington last week, and Hezzie Graham of Farmington and Herbert Hoffman of Desloge, campaign captain and co-captain, told the 17 persons attend- Ing the meeting the outlook for reaching the campaign goal this year looks better than ever before.

A goal of $4,360 has been set for the campaign, to be October 1- through 15. It was explained, $4,360 is the amount necessary to continue the Scouting program for 1.300 girls in the immediate five county area. The cost for each Girl Scout in this area is $12. 88 or $15,744 but most of this money is earned through the girl's own efforts in the cookie sale. Graham pointed out the money thus raised in the campaign is not a "luxury but a necessity." He urged the town captains to form teams to call on business firms, fraternal organizations and families.

He said Girl Scouting has the type of program that not only benefits girls but is also an asset to the community. Town captains attending the meeting were Emmett Wampler of Farmington, C. E. Bright well of Desloge, Carroll Gerig of Flat River, Warren Lodholz of Bonne Terre, and Melvin Wamble of Flat River who is serving as captain for Esther.

Before the judge, he expressed his concern saying to drive 30,000 miles a year and it seemed unfair to him that he should have the same number of points assessed against his license as those who did not have to drive as much as he did. The judge pointed out that his great use of the automobile was all the more reason that he should be a careful driver. He was found guilty fined and points were assessed against his driving habits. He realized it was up to him if he wanted to keep his license to drive.

It was no easy job because of the accumulation through the years of bad driving habits. It was only through a great deal of self control that he stopped flirting with the caution lights.
