GABLES GIRL SCOUTS, ALL 11, EMBARK ON 'DETAIL PLUM PUDDING' MONDAY

How will three thousand girls get together to make plum puddings for their mothers' Christmas presents but Troop 275 is not just ANY Scout troop. In the first place, the troop is composed entirely of 11-year-old sixth grade girls at Merrick Demonstration school. But that's not enough. What really is different is the fact that every one of these girls have been together since they entered the first grade. Not only did they wade through their first primary together but they were also Brownie Scouts together. As they gradually edged their way up to the sixth grade, they outgrew their Brownie troop and had to form their own "big girl" Scout troop. Monday, the girls will meet at 3:30 p. m. at the home of one of their leaders, Mrs. R. H. Ebsary, 319 Avenue Mendoza, where they will can plum puddings for their mothers' Christmas presents. Mrs. Claude Nowlin their other Scout leader, will be on hand to help Mrs. Ebsary serve the girls lunches.
