FLORIDA RETURNEES Phyllis and Lenny Ackerman and daughter Christal returned from Flonfeki last Sunday evening, aftef"spending two glorious weeks just plain relaxing. They said the fishing was good and they spent a wonderful time visiting the Busch Gardens in the Tampa area. Walt and Doris Low returned last week also after spending two weeks in Florida. They spent one full week on Fiesta Key with nothing but sunshine and good fishing. They did a lot ttf relaxing also, with John and Marge Granath and Bob and Gayle Laursen of McHenry. All returned a lot browner than when they went down. Seems like lots of folks headed south to get away from the cold and snow. And the cold that they returned to didn't seem so bad, since they had absorbed so much sun it counteracted the cold. Sounds good, anyhow.

DIAL A PRAYER 1-385-1234 Redesign Girl Scout Symbol A dramatic redesign of the traditional Girl Scout trefoil - the 3-leaf clover symbol patented in 1914 - was in­ troduced to over 6,000 delegates and visitors at the 1978 Girl Scout national convention in Denver last Oct. 22-25. The purpose of the new symbol is to identify what Girl Scouting really is today, compared to what the public perceives it to be; to recruit more volunteers and attract more girls; and to provide a "now" visual iden­ tity. Saul Bass-Herb Yager & Assoc., specialists in visual design, were asked to redesign the trefoil emblem to say the organization is contemporary (but still committed to the 3- part Girl Scout Promise ...to serve God...to serve country and mankind...to live by the Girl Scout law) ...pluralistic- ...and an independent organization (obviously separated from the Boy Scout organization) that helps girls to grow and develop values. Reaction will be sought from the membership before a final decision is made to change the design of the membership pin. In the meantime, it has been adopted as the official emblem and trademark of the GSUSA, but the inventory of items must be used up before being replaced with the new ones. The answer given by the general public when asked, "What is Girl Scouting?" unfortunately has usually been, "Oh, they go camping and sell cookies!" In the future, it is hoped that everyone will know that Girl Scouring is providing career education for girls; main- streaming handicapped girls; preserving the community's historic sites; and serving •communities as active, con­ cerned citizens. j The guidelines set for how to use the new trefoil design arjc always with the detail of 3 fa&F symbolizing the diversity of Girl Scouting and a focus on girls; always with the words "Girl Scouts" in one distinctive typeface; always in its own space, not as part of a larger design. The Valley View Neigh­ borhood Girl Scouts in the McHenry area have received this new trefoil design with much enthusiasm and are eager to acquaint everyone with their new image.
