¥ - 6 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, April 8, 1992 COMMUNITY Pa Brownie Troop 690 tries out career options By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff “What are all those things in your spine?” and “What do you have to learn to be a chiropractor?” were two of many questions that 20 Brownie Scouts asked Dr. Christine Swatko, a Back Moun- tain chiropractor. Troop 690, Gate of Heaven, vis- ited Dr. Swatko’s office as part of a “Iry it” project where the girls explored different careers practiced by women in the community. Upon completion of the “Try it,” each girl will receive a patch to sew on her badge sash. Giggles echoed through the examining room as the girls tried out the motorized treatment table and handled a life-size model of a human spine. Di. Swatko also showed them how she reads X- rays and uses a stethoscope. “The girls also wrote to Judge Lokuta and Representative Mundy, asking them to describe their work,” said troop leader Clare Leary. “The girls asked some excel- lent questions, such as how a law is made and how much to costs to operate an election.” Another important question was, “Do you get a vacation?” The girls also explored technical occupations at the Penn State Lehman campus and learned how to make stained glass at the Baut Studios in Swoyersville. “We encouraged the girls to ask their parents why they chose their careers and if they wished they could change jobs,” Mrs. Leary continued. “The girls also dis- cussed the most important and possibly least recognized career of all: being a mother.” Troop 690's assistant leaders include Sharon Brown, LouEllen Zekas and Mickey Lupien.
