Leaders

Here for Institute; ~ Tibbett Opens Series

Mrs. Frederick Edey, National Commissioner, on - Program Today; Furs Prominent in Audience at English’s Theater.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON There’s no gainsaying Mrs. Frederick Edey is a - woman who arouses other women to superlatives. She’s one of those people who does everything so admirably that she’s distinctly “sui generis” in half a dozen fields.

She arrived last night from her home at Bellport, L. I, to address the Girl Scouts’ Field Institute at the Hotel Lincoln today:and to speak tonight at the American United Life Building. The Girl Scouts apparently think well of her, for she served six years as national

National Commissioner. this title, which is to die with her.

___ president. When she retired they created an entirely new position— She is the only person who ever will hold

Accompanying Mrs. Edey is Mrs. Walter Cavanagh of Kenosha, Wis., a member of the Girl Scouts’ national board. The pair is doing

a series of one-night stands at Girl

Scout conferences this fall.

Mrs. C. Willis Adams, an Indianapolis Girl Scout council charter member, and Mrs. Edey are old friends, as are Mrs. Alex R. Holliday and Mrs. Cavanagh. It’s a long-standing custom that when scouting brings Mrs. Edey and Mrs. Cavanagh out this way a few rubbers of contract ensue. Mrs. Edey holds her own with the country's best, and when in New York plays with such bridge elite as Harold S.

Vanderbilt.

It looks, however, as if Mrs. Edey and Mrs. Cavanagh

will have to forego the usual game on this trip, and the four friends must be satisfied with a visit over a cup of tea at Mrs. Holliday’'s

home.

‘Butter Money’ Title of Poetry Volume

Mrs. Edey has written several volumes of poetry, one of them entitled “Butter Money” because “it contains gems of memory stored * up as a farm wife does her butter and egg money in a blue jar.” Another title, which smacks of urban industry, is “Rivets.”

Mrs. Cavanagh is doing her bit to uphold the honor of Kenosha,

which also gave the world Orson Welles and Don Ameche.

Since

lack of a college degree prevented her from entering social service work professionally she has dedicated her life to education and character building, not only at home but on an international scale with

the Girl Scouts.

Mrs. Horace R. McClure, commissioner. presided at the general session of the Field Institute at 10 a. m. today. Mrs. Edey discussed “The Revised Girl Scout Program,” Mrs. Montgomery S. Lewis spoke on “Girls, Their Needs and Interests” and Mrs. Cavanagh led a question period. Mesdames Edey, Cavanagh, Lewis, E. Starling Pearce and Mrs. Katie Lee Johnson of Chicago, regional director, conducted a symposium on “Fields of Interest.” Arthur Schaeffer Jr. national publicity director spoke on “Public Relations in Your Community” and Mrs. Edey discussed “International Friendship” at the public relations luncheon at noon in the Travertine Room. Mrs. Maxwell Droke, Indianapolis public

relations chairman presided. The

afternoon will be devoted to

round table discussions of the Girl Scout program. Mrs. J. Dwight Peterson is chairman of arrangements for the institute.
