THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1935 BARNEY GOOGLE AND SPARK PLUG [ WHERE'D THAT CRACK-POT GOME FROM 2 =, = BRL SCOUTS WILL SPONSOR OCTOBER TEA Function Planned by Com- mittee to Create Pub- lic Interest To create public interest in Girl Beout work here, a silver tea will e sponsored by that organization in October, it was decided at a meeting of the Girl Scout Com- mittee held at the home of Mrs. A. B. Phillips this week. The committee, in announcing the tea, expr the hope that would become an annual event. Definite plans, including the date end place, will be decided later. The recent visit of Mrs. MeIntyre of San Francisco, Girl Sc Camp inspector on the Pacific Co: described to committee members by Mrs. M. A. Lagergren, Troop Lead- er. Mrs. McIntyre, on a tourist cruise of the Territory, was quoted as being “enthusiastic about the many things that could be carried out here in Girl Scouting.” The comm ittee also discussed plans for more instructive and creative work. The need for permanent, centrally-located meei- ing place for the girls was ap- parent at the meeting. However, a note of progress was sounded when it was reported that Mrs. Norris Richardson, who pos- sesses a Red Cross First Aid Cer- tificate, has been teaching the girls first aid, bandaging, and emer- gency splint application. It was noted that most of the troop members have completed the neces- sary First Aid requirements for Seeond Class tests.

PROFESSOR'S PROTEGES WALLACE STILL HIGH | Those formerly considered as hav-f ing access to the presence of the Preident on matters of policy—Rex Tugwell, Donald Richberg, Ray Moley, et al. are in the background | at least for the moment. Secretary Wallace of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, known as the “philosopher” of the New Deal, still stands high in the graces of the President. The claimed success of AAA has brought him the admira- tion and confidence 6f the White House. | Another man—Joseph Kennedy, chairman of the Securities and Ex- | change commission, has earned the gratitude of the President. Kenne- | dy’s success in, turning what fi- nanciers thought was an unwork- | able law into one that works has won the applause of business men | by helping to engineer a revival of | nearly lifeless investment markets. | The youthful, hard-working for-| mer college professor--Charles Wtst,i new undersecretary of the Interior| —is rated as a “comer” in the New‘ 'Deal family. He has been 'the prin- cipal liaison between the White | House and Congress and js among the closest to the “throne room.” . HOOKER RESIDENCE | BOUGHT BY JONES = { John W.
