For this Mrs. Gemmill and I and my friends and acquaintances here are most grateful “I regret that the Attorney Gen- eral’s Office in Washington, D. C. does not see fit to fully recognize the import of a verdict of acquittal —especially one rendered after only six minutes of deliberation. How- ever, I am glad to comply with the Attorney General's wishes in the matter. “Although it may be some time before we see our many friends there they certainly will not be forgotten. Our plans for the future have not yet been definitely made.” The letter of resignation, ad- aressed to the Attorney General, Department of Justice, is as fol- lows: “This will acknowledge receipt of your wire informing me that rein- tatement to active status even for (a limited time will not be made.

Countless numbers have ! nothing to wear to school or for out- | door play, and in bitter weather they ! must stay in bed to keep warm. New-born babies, in many areas, are wrapped in newspapers because their mothers have already been obliged to turn worn sheets and shabby kitchen towels into gar- ments for their older children. In many lands, very little new clothing has been available at any price since the war began, and the | enemy robbed helpless families of warm garments and shoes and stole the very blankets from their beds. Remaining outfits have been worn lto shreds. Leaders such as teachers and min- isters who lost all their possessions |when they were bombed out or were hounded out of their homes also {need presentable outfits so that they may again move in dignity among (bewildered people who need their guidance.

Juliette Low, founder of the Girl Scouts, is famous in eyvery commun- ity in the United States where there/ is a Girl Scout council or a lone troop for the tremendous strides made through her efforts in the forming of international friend- ships and understanding of each other by the girls in 32 different countries. So it is only fitting and proper that there be a Liberty ship “The Juliette Low” which has become a real emissary for = international friendship. = This ship provides a link with the sister Scout and Guide organizations across the sea. Capt. O'Toole promises to fly the World Flag whenever the ship is in port and it is possible to do so.
