Girl Scouts Enjoy Week’s j
Camp At Houston Factory
After a week's camp at Houston
j Factory, the Vidalia Girl Scouts re
j turned home Monday evening, de
claring the week had been one of the
happiest of their lives.
Members of the troop included Ma
i bel Stith, Juanita Carr, Annie ko-
I sansky, Frankie Davis, Ruby Sutton,
! Norma Lou Oliver, Ruth Cromartie,
I Adel Hacked, Eula Lee Peterson, Vic
i toria Csomartie, Margaret Jones, Mil
; dred Herring, Winnie Mae Barker,
Rita Todd, Kathleen Strickland Lucy
Poe, Geraldine Burkhalter, Maurine
Darby, Ethel Claire Sutton, nelen
Sutton, Ruby Strickland, Katherine
Jones, Esther Hackel.
In charge of the camp were Misses
Downs, Fulliiove, Cantrell, Brown, Da
vis, Walker, Sampley and Messrs.
VV. L. Downs and Leroy Meadows.
But the scouts are going to tell
of the good times they had on the
cam p.
Girl Scout Trip to Camp.
After the chicken, trunks, children
and suitcases had been checked and
all the friends and fond parents had
been kissed goodbye, we waved a last
farewell as the train pulled out of Vi
dalia Monday morning at 8 o’clock.
We had a special car all the way to
Macon. The girls proved themselves
cheerful scopts and the trip was en
joyable even though we were delayed
about four hours on account of a
wreck fifteen miles out from Macon.
Before wc left Vidalia the girls
opened up a box of gum which was
given to us by Page's Drug Store. 1
For once in our lives we could chew'
I
two nickel’s worth of gum at one
time if we wanted to, and our manias
were not there to say, “one piece at
a time, dear.” We thank you, Dr.
Page.
While the train was waiting for the
tracks to be cleared of the wreck we
enjoyed the most delectable lunches
our mothers could prepare. The con
ductor came hack to see us several
times and while we were still wait
ing he sent in enough Chero-Cola and
Orange Crush for all of us. To show
our appreciation each of us contrib
uted something and Miss Walker pre-i
sented him with a good lunch.
We got off the train and scouted
around itt the nearby woods, finding
plums and berries and taking kodak
pictures. At last the train whistle
blew and we were glad to be on our
way again. In a short time we ar
rived in Macon, where Miss Katie
Downs and Miss Roberta Dooley,
scouts from Watkins Ville, and Misses
! Davis and Brown and Frankie Davis
joined us.
In Macon we had only a few min
utes to wait for our train to Kathleen.
| This time we were not so fortunate.
We were comfortable, but we had to
! ride in a coach which was then al
most full. The ride was short, and in
\ about half an hour Mr. Downs, Kath
leen and Ruby Strickland were help
ing tts transfer ourselves and our be
longings to a huge truck which had
to make two trips before everything
and everybody reached camp.
I Os course, after the long ride and
| the long wait, we were tired, du= r y
. and very hungry. However, as soon
as we reached camp our tired eyes
j were rested to a certain extent when
| we beheld the neat, white cottages,
the whitewashed trees and the clean
| grounds.
The cooks had prepared a supper
that would tempt more delicate ap
petites than ours. Soon we gathered
j about the table and we did not leave
till there was no more chicken, grits,
potatoes, eggs, butter, hot bisetrts or
tea. We then utipacketf our blankets
and made ottr cots, slipped into our
bathing suits and ran for a dip in the
ttool which is filled with ivy water
front a spring. This disposed of the
dust and refreshed our tired bodies.
We were then ready to bid each other
, good-night, sav ottr prayers, go to
; sleep and rest, in order to he prepared
' for a full day of scouting on the mor
row .

Swimming.
When the whistle blew for swim*
' mitig. shouts of joy went up front tile
; scouts. No feature of camp was en
; joyed inofe, and they had this oppor
’ tunity four times every day. There
| was the pool with the chute-the-chute
■ and spring-board and almost ice-cold
water, which came straight from the
I spring and made you feel all aglow J
II with life and good spirit. The goodj
’ swimmers went in the lake and sev
. eral scouts achieved the 80-yard mark
| bv swimming around the ratt. Many
| who could not swim at all learned
• while on the (amp and the others itn
. proved their methods. Leroy Mead
’ ows, our life-saver, made a record
| swim of six hundred and forty yards.
> Stunts.
( Every night after vesper each pa
trol was asked to give some stunt.
Git Tuesday night different ones vol
unteered.
Wednesday night the Forget-Me-
Not Patrol had charge. “How Miss
Walker teaches a reading lesson”—by
Katherine Jones, and others taking;
■ part. Thursday night the Purple j
, Pansy Patrol gave us a wonderful
, selection on Human Pipe Organ, al
so a laughing contest. Mr. Downs,
Misses Davis and Brown were called
, on to enter this contest. Mr. Downs
having the most contagious laugh,
won a cup of ginger ale.
I’riday night the Golden Rod Patrol
gave “A day in camp” in pantomine
and a chorus —John Brown’s Baby.
' Saturday night the Clover Leaf Patrol
dramatized Beauty and the Beast.
Over on one side was a famous for
tune teller.
Sunday night the children dramatiz
ed bihle stories and others guessed
the stories.
Inspection.
Good morning when inspection comes
Have your cottage just as neat as
mine,
Good morning when inspection comes
Have your handles in a line;
Hide your tooth-brush and paper too
Or they’ll mark you down, that’s
what they’ll do;
Good morning when inspection comes
Have your pockets buttoned tight as
Your blankets rolled as right as
Your face and hands as white as
mine.
It is nine o’clock in the morning,
the whistle has just blown and Miss
Katie and Mr. Downs start on their
; round of inspection. We eagerly
gaze out over the grounds, watching
them aS they approach the part we
policed. As they search with their
almost microscopic eyes, we hold our
breath, for we see Mr. Downs pause,
give a flirt with the toe of his shoe,
Miss Katie nod and write in a little
hook. We all but faint, for we know
they must have found a little piece
of paper. How quickly we survive,
scan the walls for cob webs, give the'
sheet on our cot a final jerk and then
stand at attention as Miss Katie and
Mr. Downs enter our cottage. Again
we are breathless, for Miss Katie
rubs her hand on the shelf we worked
the hardest on, while Mr. Downs
seemingly points to a cob web, turns
and they walk out.
We are heart broken, for we are
sure we will not win the ice cream
oerffed to the patrol with highest aver
age. Our tears do not fall, for the
whistle blows for assembly and we go .
to hear our averages read.
Oh, boy! ain’t t a grand and glo
rious feeling, we made a hundred, for
it wasn’t a piece of paper they found
or dust or cob web, and inspection is
over till tomorrow.
Vespers. <
No phase of our camp life has
meant more to the girls, or has been
enjoyed more as a whole, than our
vesper service. After a day filled
with hiking, swimming, boat-riding
and other camp activities, vespers i
come as a fitting close to an almost
perfect day.
Just as the *\vilight shadows began
falling each girl would be found stroll
ing over to a pictureque spot on the
lake where vesper was held. This
was an ideal place for such a j
service. The leader stood on a small!
platform extending out over the lake
and framed on both sides with beau-1;
tit'ul, tall trees. In front was a gen- j
tie sloping hillside where the girls
sat looking out on the rippling wa-i
ters of the lake.
The service consisted of gospel
hymns, favorite passages and verses,
from the bible and prayers and thanks
to God, the giver of all things. Some;
very touching talks were given from
time to time. A closer feeling of
comradeship could he felt after each
of these services.
The Spirit of Camp.
; The first experience of living in cot
tages instead of tents proved most
successful. Each scout contributed
in many ways toward making life in
. these cottages, as well as on the
grounds, happy foi every other per
son. A more helpful and friendly at
titude has never been demonstrated,
by the children. On every hand they;
even anticipated the wants of others
and did many things to satisfy these
wants. The idea of doing something
for others or living the scout slogan: j
I “Do a good turn daily,” was never;
j more noticeable. Each patrol and its;
adult leaders occupied separate rooms
and were as a happy family, all eager
to share the respective duties and res
ponsibilities and to obey all camp reg
ulations. It was not unusual to drop;
into a room iust before Taps and find
the little group conducting a good
night service in which each took part,
thus proving their determination to
live up to the scout oath to be true
to God.
Mias Lane’s Visit.
When Miss Caro Lane, extension
worker, visited the V. C. I. the last
time our captain invited her to join
the scout camp which was to be held
for a week after school closed. Miss
Lane gladly accepted the invitation.
The sixth day of camp found us an
ticipating the arrival of Miss Lane.
Everything was in readiness, and
then p-r-r-r—the car stopped and Miss
! Lane appeared around the corner of
j the porch where she was immediately
hidden from view by all of us gath
j ering around her.
Then the whistle shrilled forth the
| note for swimming, so all rushed into
| bathing togs and the good swimmers,
i Miss Lane included, went to the lake,
where she gave us swimming stunts
in rhythm.
At vesper Miss Lane gave an inter
esting talk, which impressed the im
portance of our every act or failure
to act.
Sunday morning Miss Lane told us
stories from Kipling's Just So Stories,
and made us laugh anew with Uncle
Remus..
Miss Lane, being such a good sport,
not one of us could refrain from ad
miring and loving her. A remark j
which drew her even closer to us;
was, “Do you think I could join the
scouts at Vidalia,” for we are ever
ready* to welcome a scout, especially
one who entered into the real spirit
of scouting as did Miss Lane.
Before leaving, Miss Lane said: “I
got something out of the camp which
will help me with my work.” If she
could get inspiration through only a
day and a half visit, how much ought
we to get from a week of camping!
A Visit From Miss Morgan.
Late one afternoon during vespers
we all looked around and there was
Miss Morgan. Os course all of us
were glad to see her. After vespers
she enjoyed a row down the lake.
Then the question arose as to which
cottage she should stay in. It was at
last decided that she should stay in
the cottage with Miss Cantrell and
i Miss Davis. She spent the night at
camp and the next morning went in
swimming. Soon afterwards some of
her friends from Vienna came and she
decided to go back with them. We
all hated to tell her good-bye, after
such an enjoyable visit.
» On The Lake.
At the first sight of the lake the
scouts thought only of the beautiful
picture it made with its border of
green trees and its ripples sun-tipped
with gold. But quickly came the
thought of the boats and every day
each boat made many trips with loads
of laughing, singing scouts or pad
' dlers jitstlearning to guide under the
direction of one of the leaders.
I One of the most beautiful times on
the lake was late in the evening af
ter vespers and stunts, when a few
singers, sometimes carrying ukulele
and guitar, anchored their boat in the
water opposite the hill where the
other scouts were seated. Sometimes
the folks on shore sang and the boat
echoed the same song, then vice versa
until numbers of the old best loved
songs had made all the campers ex
perience a delightful sensation of
peace and quiet. Whether you were
one of the singers on shore listening
for the soft tones from across the
water, or in the boat watching the
group outlined against the trees by
the camp fires, there was a thrill that
no other camp experience could quite
match. At last as the boat singers

echoed:
Day is done,
Gone the sun
From the lake, ,
From the hills,
From the sky;
All is well,
Safely rest,
God is nigh—
the boat glided across the lake in the
soft silvery moonlight back to the
landing, or made its way down the
lake to the camp.
Eat*.
Eats! What a small word, but it
means a great deal, espeiially to girl
scouts who are on a camp.
The tables were in a lovely place,
high upon a hill facing the lake.
There were trees and trees on the
hillside and surrounding the tables.
The spot was so shady and cool, and
sometime came the call of a feath
ered friend, or one caught a glimpse
of a brilliant cardinal, a gorgeous tan
ager, or a dashing, saucy jay.
But le.t us get back to our very im
portant topic. I am sure not anoth
er whistle was heard with as much
gladness as the one which announced
meal-time.
Talk of enjoying life—we did it—
j feasting upon good things. But I
! have a dark suspicion that later on
someone referred to castor oil.
Just think of the many good dishes
you would like tt> have, and you
will most likely have guessed what
we ate.
We were always having!—“worth
smacking your lips over.” But there
are two meals which stand out in our
memory. One night we had company
and there were so many goodies from
pineapple sandwiches to deviled eggs.
Then came Sunday dinner. Meal of
meals, but something asks me not to
bring back those memories. I will
add, however, that we sang, “Ice
cream we have, ice cream today!”
Let us not forget K. P.—kitchen
police. This included washing dishes,
etc., but what scout minds being K.
P? There is this about it, though:
You got so hungry putting on the
food.
There came the last meal at camp.
Ts you had watched the scouts that
Monday morning you would have
thought they were going to make it
last forever.
Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness la caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness i 3 the result. Unless th«
inflammation can be c -du ed and this tub!
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever Many rase.? ct
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed con Ml ion of the raucous sur
faces. Hah s Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
