VERNON, GEORGIA | THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR 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 . e • • 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 a- WWW * ■!■ <■ -i-i- •> J. X I Still 1 J Doing ; I Business j I ■ 1 | Ample funds to loan on real J | estate security. Terms and interest | I rates the lowest.

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. We will give One Hur*dr*c!
