Girl Scouts of Dallas District are enthusiastic and energetic workers for Victory, if one takes time to consider the vast amount of war effort contributed by them. In ad- dition to studying first aid, home nursing and child care, the Scouts sell War Stamps and Bonds. Books for soldiers’ camps and magazines for the Traveler's Aid have been collected by them. This week they are conducting a Scrap Drive of their own, collecting old papers and magazines and rags. These must be done up in bundles and persons having such scrap are asked to communicate with any Girl Scout. Do not be surprised if you see unusual activity in your neighbor’s backyard these spring days, if your neighbor’s daughter happens to be a Girl Scout. No doubt she is one of the two or three girls chosen by her troop to enter the Victory Garden Contest, conducted by the Sears-Roebuck Store in Wilkes- Dallas District Girl Scouts Swing Into Action For Victory Barre. The store has made a most generous offer, of contributing seeds, plants, planting chart and expert advice to Girl Scouts from Dallas District who enter the con- test. In addition the store has offered $20 in prizes, $7, first prize, $5, second prize, and $3, third prize and five $1 prizes for out- standing gardens. The gardens will be inspected three times for pro- gress, during the summer. Miss Florence Hausch is chairman’ of the project. So great was the response to the announcement of the contest, that it was necessary to limit the en- tries, to two girls from small troops and three from large troops. How- ever, the Scouts who were not chosen may still plant their gar- dens, and contribute their share to Victory. It is being arranged that their prize vegétables will be ex- hibited at the various local flower shows next fall, and they will have an opportunity to win prizes.

ENDURING BEAUTY There’s a mellow charm about old houses, old lace and old silver. Age and memory fashion it. There’s beauty and loveliness in the solitude of an old cemetery kept fresh and green and neat by perpetual care. Trucksville Cemetery on the crest of a knoll overlooking the valley . . . guarded by the friendly White-Church-On-The-Hill is such a final resting place. The gentle rustling of spring winds through the silent cedars . the bird calls on hot summer days . . . the changing autumn patterns of the hillsides . . . the soft white blanket of snow in winter, are all familiar to those who have grown to manhood and womanhood in Trucksville. Founded more than 122 years ago by members of the Rice family, Trucksville Cemetery . . . now called Cedar Crest Cemetery . . . is the oldest burial place Back of the Mountain with perpetual care. It is non-sectarian. thoughtful people. Its elevated location, dry plots, paved roads, absence of mine caves and accessibility to highways and bus lines are factors that impress Cedar Crest Cemetery Association OF TRUCKSVILLE F.
