FIRST LADY LAUDS WOMEN ON RELIEF Two Girl Scouts Report Aid Work and Are Thanked in Radio Addresses. In the President's study in the White House, the same room from which President Hoover has previously ad- dressed the Nation by radio, Mrs. Her- bert Hoover stood before a microphone last night and sent through the air over 'a Nation-wide National Broad- casting Co. hook-up her thanks to the women of the country for their work in unemployment and drought relief. Speaking for almost 20 minutes, from 7:45 to 8 Mrs. Hoover lauded the efforts of girls apd women, by organ- izations and individually, in the co- operative program to alleviate distress. She expressed hope that there would now be “a constantly diminishi de- mand” for ald as economic conditions improve, but she spurred her radio au- dience on to continue helpfulness “as long as the need lasts.” ‘To the relief work rendered by the men and boys of the country Mrs. Hoover paid a tribute also, but she ex- plained that her radio time had been allotted primarily to a discussion of the accomplishments of women.

Referring to him several times as “the President,” she said she voiced his feeling, as well as her own, when she expressed “heart- felt g‘ltltufl!" to the millions of homes rl’ehl had co-operated in bringing re- It was Mrs. Hoover’s first venture on 50 extended a scale into the realms of public statesmanship. Thres times be- fore she had spoken over the radio, however, since Mr. Hoover entered the ‘White House, Her address was under the auspices of the Women's Division of the President’s Emergency Commit- tee for Employment, and was initiated also-by Mrs. Hoover's interest in the Girl Scout program. The address in its immediate purpose was to respond to a report of the relief work done by the Girl Scouts, of whose national organiza- tion she is honorary president. ‘This report was delivered to Mrs. Hoover at the White House by two Girl Scouts, Lois Kuhn of Bethesda, Md. and Peggy Starr of Hyattsville, Md. It recounted day-toyday surveys, the se- curing of aid for needy cases and the creating of openings for employment. Miss Lois Kuhn Speaks. Opening the radio m after Mrs. Hoover had greeted Girl Scouts personally, Miss Kuhn sai “My dear Mrs. Hoover: entatives of the Girl Scouts , we wish to present to you this report of the Girl Scouts’ effort to join their elders in helping unem- loyed men, women and their families this difficult time, when so many of our fathers, mothers, sisters and broth- ers have no jobs. “Our motto is ‘Be Prepared.” We have tried to show our leaders, friends and country that our Girl Scout training has prepared us to give service to those in distress. Our efforts have been very small in comparison to what the grown-ups are doing, but in our own sphere of the home and school we have tried to bring relief and cheer to those who have needed our help.” Text of Mrs. Hoover's Address. The text cf Mrs. Hoover's address follows: “Peggy Starr and Lois Kuhn of the Girl Scouts, I am very glad that, as your honorary t, it has fallen to my lot to receive from you this re- Other Precious Stones For EASTER Remembrnnce,s A.

And may I say in passing, that when you have grown accustcmed to doing this when you are young, it will be easy for you to see and meet your larger responsi- bilities on & larger scale when you are older. Women's Aid Praised. “Because of a devastating drought | that has fallen upon the just and the | industrious almost as hardly as upon the unjust and the lazy, there is great want of these necessities over larger areas in our eoumr{fi And over nearly all of our country there is a consider-| able sprinkl of our population, even | of the very friends nearby whom we | know, and of our Girl Scout sisters, or | rhaps of the very sisters of our own E:ood, who are suffering because there is not enough work wanted done in the | world just now to keep busy all who | want to work.

And in the larger, wiser, more experienced ways of their added. years, so have worked the women of the county—from the General Federa- tion of Women’s Club from the Parent- Teacher Associations, from the Business and Professional Women's Club, from the churches and from innumerable formal and informal groups of national and of very local significance. “You who are listening in at the other end of this wonderful newly dis- w neighborhood; you have given addition- al work where you could; you e post- poned the burdens of full payment of has no aptitude. “There is one factor about this whole episode of national emergency relief that stirs me deeply.

My heart turns to these families. How can we reach them in their need? “The President, I know, is most :g; preciative of the achievement of e organization with which you are all co-operating, the woman's division of the President’s Emergency Committee for Employment. He said, as the com- ing clouds of depression threatened, that a very large proportion of the work and of the spirit that would make the storm pass without consummate destruction would be due to the way in which the women met it. And he said that he knew they would meet this with the same spirit that they met their respon- sibility in the time of war. Is it not quite as important to save our country and our fellow countrymen and women when war clouds do not hang upon the horizon as when they do? ‘The President will want to express his appreciation for your co-operation with him, and with all the rehabilitating agencies, in his own way and time— n;xl,“! do know that he is most appre- clative. Delivers Messages of Thanks. “And so it is with great joy, oh, Lois Kuhn and Peggy Starr of the Girl Scouts, that I give to you the messages of thanks from many and various per- sons and ps, and through o all the Girl uts, and through the Girl Scouts to all the other organizations of women and of girls who have been helping so valiantly during the months —and who are going to continue help- ing valiantly as long as the need lasts— ever faithful to what, we trust, is a con- stantly dimini 'mand. “And th h these inizations, the appreciation goes out in the last analysis, to their individual members, and not even forgetting those many in- dividuals who have given, or who have worked, 5o liberally, according to their ability, even though they did not to be members of any established ganization pf aid. “From President, for work you have sha as members of the wom- en's division of the President’s Emer- gency Committee for Employment, from the officials of that committee, from those who have aided, even from those yet to be aided, I am delivering to you messages of heartfelt gratitude.” —_— Damming of Lake Tsana, Ethiopia, for irrigation purposes is be planned.
