Like their older sister Scouts, Brownies are governed by a code of honor. On becoming a Scout, a Brownie promises “to do my best to love God and my country, and to help other people every day, especially those at home. On Girl Scout Sunday, March 11, these brown-clad youngsters will be attending the church of their choice with their troop or fa- ( mily. On March 12, they will join almost 3 and one-half million Girl Scouts, both girls and adults, in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of Girl Scouting by Juliette Low in 1912.

The little girl who lives next door, the pert seven-year-old who proud ly wears her Brownie uniform and Brownie cap to her Girl Scout meetings. Brownies got their name from the legendary British sprites who did good deeds at night. Our Girl Scout Brownies are, of course, safely tucked away in bed at night, so they do their good deeds during the day. Service to home and to the com munity is included among the 11 fields of Scouting activities in which the Brownies have regular ly engaged since the establishment of the present Brownie program for girls aged seven through nine in 1926. The 11 fields of activities are: arts and crafts, literature and dramatics, music and danc ing, community life, international friendship, nature, out-of-doors, agriculture, health and safety, homemaking, and sports and games. As part of their service to oth ers, Brownies learn to care for younger brothers and sisters and to help their mothers in simple household tasks. As a part of their arts and crafts, they make baskets, scrapbooks and Christ mas decorations as gifts for hos pitalized children.

UDC Members Hear Elliott The monthly meeting of Calvin Crozier Chapter U.D.C. was held at the Wallace House Tuesday, February 6, with Mrs. Seth Meek, vice-president, presiding. The meeting was opened with the chap ter ritual and flag salute by Miss Dorothy Buzhardt, chaplain. Prof. F. Scott Elliott of the English Department of Newberry College was introduced by Miss Juanita Hitt, Historian. His sub ject was “The Field of Manassas.” Prof. Elliott’s description and map of the location of Manassas gave the members a vivid picture of the strategic importance of Manassas Junction. It was of key importance for not only its rail roads, but was used somewhat as a traning ground for the Confed erates. It was a focal point to both the North and the South. It was brought out impressively the strat egy used by the Confederates, and the superior leadership of the Con federate officers along with the vaior of its soldiers, many of whom were local men, as several mem bers mentioned having had ances tors there. The two battles of Bull Run won by the Confederates here will always be of interest to his torians, due to the display of ex cellent leadership, as well as sol diership shown. Mrs. Meek reported on the Lee- Jackson Day at Newberry High School under the sponsorship of the two Newberry chapters. The address was given by Hon. Steve Griffith Jr., and was informative and impressive to members and visitors and especially to the stu dents. The patriotic songs by the Newberry High School chorus were inspirational. The chapter was represented by Mrs. Meek at the American Legion Auxiliary meeting on “American- • It ism. Excerpts were read from the News Sheet by Mrs. James Werts. A discussion was entered into with regard to the project to have the records copied from the Con federate markers. Following the meeting, delight ful refreshments were served by the hostesses, Miss Hitt, Mrs. L. W. Bedenbaugh, Miss Josephine Shannon, Mrs. Ray Nobles, Mrs. F. B. Hawkins and Mrs. W. A. Ma son.

E. Nichols, chairman of the Crusade Commit tee, said this week. “Last week our attendance was 413 at morn ing worship service, compared with 368 the week before,” he said. “We hope that those people who are members of any church and those who may not be mem bers of any church will strive to attend at least one worship serv ice each Sunday.
