Dear Friends,
I am thankful for the invita-
tion I reveived to greet all of
you in this manner. I enjoy re-
ceiving the Mt. Joy Bulletin
regularly and thereby keeping
up with the news of what's go-
ing on around home. Even
though the paper arrives two
months late I still enjoy reading
the news. The other missionar-
jes (Rev. and Mrs. A. D. M.
Dick) also enjoy reading the
paper as they know many peo-
ple in Mt. Joy and vicinity.
It scarcely seems like almost

© Calcutta. My home is
a year since I left the shores of
the U.S.A. These ten and one-
half months have been busy
ones indeed. I have had many
new experiences and learned to
do many new things such as
eating rice and curry with my
fingers off of a banana leaf.
I arrived in India on March 5,
1953 and flew from Bombay to
just 20
miles by railroad from Calcutta.
We have a jeep but we have on-
ly one road which from
Ulubaria town 6 miles west.
There it ends. So we can’t even
drive to Calcutta.

I was on my way to language
school held in Darjeeling
which is situated in the Himal-
aya mountains about 150 miles
from Mount Everest. Darjeeling
is also the home town of Tenz

Mt. Everest. I was at Language

certainly a lot of excitement
and rejoicing al that time. Also

Girl Scouts, Brownies
To Sell Scout Cookies
The sixth annual Girl Scout
cookie sale of Lancaster Coun-
ty will be held February 1st to
April 17 Girl Scouts and
in all troops in the
county will be selling chocolate
and vanilla filled cookies, choc-
olate mint and spiced almond
flavors.
Girl Scouts and Brownies in
the eleven troops in Mount Joy
and Florin will be ready to take
orders next week. Mrs. Maurice
Bailey, Donegal Springs Road,
Mount Joy is cookie chairman
for the Mount Joy-Florin Girl
Scout Neighborhood. Anyone
wishing to place orders for
cookies may do so by calling
Mrs. Bailey or contacting any
Girl Scout, Brownie, leader or
troop committee member.
The goal of the county is 105,-
000 boxes or 30 boxes per girl.
Last year, the girls went over
the goal of 100,000 by selling
106,000 boxes. The troops get a
percentage of the sale and the
county gets a percentage. The
percentage that the troop makes
mav be used for any purpose
desired by the group and the
percentage that the county
makes goes to defray the expen-
see of the growth of Girl Scout-
ing in Lancaster County, to pay
for capital expenditures for the
camp and council and to build
up a reserve for major camp re-
placements.
