vice work for the Community Welfare Fund, the Red Cross, Cancer Committee, League for Service and the Public Library.

At the time of the smallpox scare the Scouts made 1500 vac-cination swabs for the Public Health Nursing Organization.

Some of the troops collected clothing, packed and sent it to the bomb-destroyed school in France which the Bronxville Girl Scouts are sponsoring. The Red Cross very kindly gave the girls about 100 pairs of shoes, in appreciation for the help the Scouts had given during the shoe drive, and these were also packed and sent to the children in the French school.

These were only some of the

projects reported by Mrs. Rus-sell A. Deller, chairman of the Service Committee, and by Mrs. E. S. Sheiry, chairman of the Juliette Low Committee, at the Council Meeting held January 8 at the Betty Parker Cabin.
