Mr. Whitelqy Throws His Hat Into the Ring The fact that Eastern Georgia has not had a commissioner of agriculture in 100 years would not necessarily mean that we should have one now or at any time in the next 100 years unless, indeed, we had a man fitted for the place. Mr. J. W. Whiteley, of Warrenton, enthusiastic pro ponent of legislation to curtail cotton acreage, announces thiat he is a candidate to succeed the present commissioner, who pires to he governor, and among other things he says we have not had a commissioner of agricul ture from this section in a tury. However, Mr. Whiteley goes further and points to the fact that he has successfully op crated a 25 horse farm for 30 years, through periods of de pression, including 1914, 1921 and the present one, the boll weevil and other adverse forces, As far as we are concerned we will readily agree that any man who can successfully operate a 25 horse farm over the past 30 years is entitled to be governor, or United States senator, something even higher these. A man who can do this is a super man, and we have it from Mr. Whitelcy’s,own mouth and the records seem to bear him out, that he is just what he says, a successful farmer and merchant, with stores at renton and Gibson, who has stayed at home and paid strict attention to business letting somebody else do the political maneuvering. However, he is so firmly linced that he can apply same organization methods to the department of agriculture that he has applied to his own larming that and merchandising bus iness he is determined to run for commissioner of agriculture. As we understand him, Mr. Whiteley offers no panacea for the farmer’s ills except making all foodstuffs at home. He does not believe in producing cent cotton in order to buy ern meat, meal and flour. And he practices what he preaches, Mr. Whiteley feels that should be a continuation of banker-farmer co-ordination tivities and that the banks of Georgia should continue to courage living at home and making cotton a surplus while he feels also that should be close co-operation tween the College of Agriculture in Athens and the department of agriculture in Atlanta. That is a very sensible idea for we Here’s One Man Who Made Money Farming In Adjoining State of Alabama Atlanta, Ga. — (GPS)—Money can be made on a farm in Geor gia, Alabama or any other south ern state if care is taken and things are taken care of, agricul tural letaders here pointed out this week. From Alabama comes the story of A. J. Bradley, a farmer living east of Andalusia, who re cently died, as an example of what a man can* do on a fiarm by intelligent methods. He left $2,000 in cash in the bank and to each of his eight children 40 acres of land and to two unmar ried daughters each an addition al 70 acres.

F. Wilhoit, county historian, is endebted to Mrs. Hugh Cason and Miss Christine Einstein for writing the follow ing account of the organization and subsequent activities of the Girls' Scout Troop of Warren ton. It will go in the history of Warren county which is to lie filed next year in the Department of Archives and History at the State Capitol, Atlanta.—Ed.) The Girl Scouts The Warrenton Girl Scout Troop No 1, was first organized in October, 1929. Mrs. Paul Reviere, of Rochelle, Ga., met with the Woman’s Club in October and asked for their support in organizing a Girl Scout Troop. The Woman’s Club unanimously agreed to sponsor this movement. Mrs. Reviere was selected as Captain of this troop, and was officially accepted by the Nation, al Headquarters, from whom she ceived the rati heat ion of her appointment and to whom she was responsible. The Captain of the troop was assisted by a Lieutenant, Miss Christine Einstein, of Camilla, Ga. x who also was commissioned from National Headquarters. A Girl Scout local council, composed of the mothers of the Scouts, was organized to pro mote and provide the means of carrying on scouting in our com munity. Mrs. Hugh Cason was elected president of this council. The troop was composed of ten girls in the fall of 1929. They were as follows: Misses Marga ret Miriam Doro- thy DuPuis, Frances Brown, Margaret Fowler, Evelyn Lan caster, Mariel Cason, Virginia Ellen Cason, Clare Ware and Freda Lowe. By the middle of February, 1980, the Girl Scouts were ready to pass their Tenderfoot Test. They met with the Woman’s Club and were awarded their badges. The Woman’s Club gave to Mrs. Reviere and the Scouts ;ai room in the Community House to be used for a Girls Seoul room. In this room they put their pictures, hooks tools and other troop belongings. The troop decided to use the patrol system in their organiza tion. This meant that the troop would he divided into smaller groups composed of five girls each. A patrol is like a small club, which chooses the name of some animal, tree, flower or other nature object. The troop was divided into two patrols, Cardinals. namely, the Pine Tree and the The patrols each chose a mem ber to act as a patrol leader. Margaret Evans was selected as leader for the Cardinals, and Virginia Ellen Cason for the Pine Tree. Two assistants w r ere chosen lo work together with the patrol leaders.

PRESCRIPTIONS A SPECIALTY Mitchell Drug Company J. N. LEWIS, Manager Margaret Fowler for the Pine Tree. In (addition to names for the patrols, the Girl Scouts pro posed to give the troop a name. Because of her strong personal ity and because of her noble traits of character that makes others want to measure up to her own high standard, .the Girl Scouts called their troop “The Virginia Wilhoit Troop.” During the summer of 1930, the girls attended the Mar 1 ha John son Camp at Macon, Ga., under the direction of Miss Helen Cochran. Here they gained a better knowledge of girl scout handicraft land camp life. I he fall of 1930 found the troop without a Captain, as Mrs. Reviere had not returned for the new school year. Mrs. Hugh Cason, former president of the local council, volunteered to be the new Captain. She proved most enthusiastic worker and was efficient in everything she undertook. Mrs. F. L. Ware was appointed as president of the lo cal council to succeed Mrs. Ca son. During the years of 1930 and 1931 the Girl Scouts passed their t second class lest. New members were' added, including Julia Moore Springs, Margaret Stur gis, Wyolene Wheeler, Sara Wicker land Mary Garhntt. One of the outstanding projects that the Girl Scouts sponsored during this year, was one in which they treid to make others •happy. At Christmas time they collected all the toys that they could find in their own homes, and solicited them from the homes of their friends, and car ried them to their scout room where they were made over and then distributed them to th e children who probably would have had no other Christmas. By the fall of 1931, the Girl Scouts added another patrol to their troop. The members in cluded Sara Twilley, (patrol leader), Ettie Ivey, (assistant), Faye Long, Margaret Truitt and Dorothy Cason. This patrol se lected “The Goldenrod” for its name. In 1932, Mary Ray and Ellen Farmer enrolled. This made a total of twenty-two Girl Scouts. By May, 1932, we are planning to have two patrols classed as first-class Scouts and our new patrol is striving for the second class badge. From the youngest Girl Scout up to the President, the organi zation is democratic, self govern ing and flexible, adjusting itself everywhere and always to local circumstances, and the habits and preferences of the different groups. It is not only non-sec tarian, but is open to all creeds. It is non-partisan and co-oper ates gladly with any organiza tion of similar aims. Our ideal is to help girls to be trustwor thy, self reliant iand happy; ready to meet their responsibil ities and to give service in the home and in the community.
