At 5:00 p.m. on March 12,
1976, ‘‘Flames of Freedom'’
will be lighted by U.S. Girl
Scouts around the world.
The time is shortly before
sunset. As night falls on
this, the 64th Girl Scout
Birthday, during the na-
tion’s Bicentennial year, the
light of commitment will be
burning brightly wherever
there's a Girl Scout troop. It
will shine not only across the
North American continent,
but also in the islands and
Scouts prepare to
the Canal Zone, and in our
Girl Scout Troops on foreign
soil around the world.
Locally, girls in the
Witness Tree District, Penn
Laurel Girl Scout Council,
will be lighting ‘‘Flames of
Freedom’’ at the historic
Donegal Presbyterian
Church, site of the famous
old Witness Tree for which
the district is named.
Those attending the cere-
mony will be greeted by
Senior Troop #45, Fiizabeth-
town Neighborhood, at 4:15
p.m. Cadette Troop #936,
Hempfield Neighborhood,
will carry out the flag
ceremony, a color retreat to
the hymn, ‘‘O Beautiful
Banner.”’
Scouts will then gather at
the nearby springs to hear
Troop #45 perform a special
choral reading written by
Mary Karnes, a member of
the Donegal congregation.
Following the singing of
‘‘America’’ and several Girl
Scout songs, the girls will
disperse over the grounds.
At precisely 5:00 p.m.,
“Taps” will be sounded as
the candles are lighted.
As the candles glow, the
hymn *‘Rise Up O Flame”’
will be sung by Mrs. Walter
Forry and Mrs. W. Scott
Heisey, organizers of the
special birthday event. The
hour-long ceremony will end
as the scouts sing ‘‘Taps”’
and the “Flames of Free-
dom” are extinguished.
All Girl Scouts at every
level throughout the Wit-
ness Tree District are
invited to participate in this
symbolic event. Entire
troops, representative
groups, scouting families,
and any interested individ-
uals are encouraged to
light ‘Flames of Freedom’
attend. Senior and . Cadette
Girl Scouts are asked to
bring their own ‘‘lumin-
arias’’ (a brown lunch bag in
which a votive candle is
embedded in sand with the
bag top turned down
approximately 3°’) and
matches.
In case of rain, an alter-
nate program is planned to
take place inside the church.
Those having questions
about the event call Mrs.
Forry, 898-7375,
Heisey, 367-1310.

5 more ways to
Save on your
phone bill vs
17. Want to avoid excessive long distance charges in general? Try tim- 7
ing your calls, so you can “say it all” without overtime charges. To help
you, just jot down the things you would like to discuss.
19. The information pages at the front: of your local telephone book are a
good source for tips on how to place your calls and how to save time and
money in using your telephone. Look in the book, and save.
20.1 a coin phone takes your money but doesn’t give you your call,
you're, of course, entitled to a refund. Just find a phone that works, dial
“Operator” and tell her what happened. We'll send you a refund in the mail.
(We’d also appreciate it if you'd tell the operator the telephone number and
location of the phone that’s out of order so we can get it fixed as soon as
possible.)
16. The time at the calling point determines the applicable rate period for long distance
calls. Save money on these calls, including Overseas calls, by referring to your call guide in
the front of your telephone directory for the most economical rate period.
18. Before you place a long distance call to a business, check to see if they have a toll-free
number. You can recognize it because it has an 800 prefix instead of a regular area code. If
they have one, it’s usually displayed in their advertising, or you may find it listed in your
own local telephone directory. If so, the call’s on them, and you save.
