the Girl Scouts of the USA and
Perry are making plans.
Through 1975 and 1976 the
local Girl Scouts and Brownies
will take part in the national
celebration on a local level.

able to stop at the school
crossing when directed to do
so. As school begins and ends
each day, Mrs. Baxley is
always on duty directing the
children across the street at
Perry Elementary and Perry
Annex Schools on Main Street.
Representatives of Junior
Troop 225, Belinda Arnold and
Natalie Jo Norris, recently did
■ an on-the-job interview with
Mrs. Baxley to better un
i derstand her job. Mrs. Baxley
i explained that she enjoys her
1 work, and knowing that the
children are safely across the
• street really makes her day.
■ Stepping out in front of the
i traffic for the safety of the
children she feels makes her
: job most helpful. She knows
t ‘‘that her job is dangerous”,
i but confesses that she hopes
i there will be “no brake
r failures or intoxicated
> drivers”.
Mrs. Baxley had on the-job
training for the position she
holds. She acutally began her
job as a private citizen guiding
her own children safely across
the street to classes each day.
In 1958, during her first year in
Perry, she applied for the job
and was hired.
Mrs. Baxley not only works
at the school crossing, but also
cruises in a police car
downtown and around the
shopping centers during the
hours of her work day. No
doubt, this adds to the
strength of the police force
and to the safety of Perry.
The two inquisitive young
Scouts discovered that the big
snow of two years ago wasn’t
fun for everyone, as it was for
the young people; but was
work for such people as the
“Heroine”. “The snow and ice
were so heavy on my feet I
could hardly walk, but I had to

A Jones County native, Mrs.
Baxley and her husband Joel
and their four children moved
here from Macon in 1958. She
tells with pride that her
husband is proud of the work
she does and is happy to see
that she enjoys her job so
much.
Mrs. Baxley says she would
recommend her job to any
other woman. As a matter of
