A Mrs, Toth reported that the con- ference had been most interesting and inspiring and that she “just wished, that everyone could have been there.” “It was stressed at the confer- ence that the purpose of Girl Scout- ing — building young girls into better citizens — should be em- Phasized,”’ she sai She spoke briefly on using the meetings of the Leader’s Club as a workshop to provide additional training for leaders and committee members, When you approach some one and ask them to’ take the responsibi- lity of leading a Girl Scout troop, tell them the truth. Don't tell them there isn’t anything to it and it only takes a little of their time. “Tell them it is a responsibility. Tell them it takes a lot of hard work and time, but tell them, too, that nothing gives more satisfac- tion than working with a group of gizls.” Mrs. Toth announced that Mrs. Stanley Millege of Miami, chair- man of Region 6, would be in Key West and meet with the board of directors at their next regular meeting in November, New leaders and committee members were introduced by Mrs, Toth.

Since Bermuda shorts have swept the campus scene in the last year, they have become practically required equipment for both col- lege girls and boys. But some smart girls prefer the flattery of a skirt — and so the Bermuda skirt was born. It’s knee - length, worn with long socks, and may match or contrast with the shorts be- neath. An outfit of skirt and shorts is easy to make at home, from a standard pattern which includes both. Sewing center experts sug- gest making both from matching dark flannel, for a slimming ef- fect. But if poundage is not your |problem, the shorts may be in a | gay plaid, to flash under the solid (skirt.
