Boy ScOuts Entertain Camp. Fire
Girls.

The boy scouts entertained the
camp fire girls last Saturday even
ing at their meeting place, the
Misses being under he care of Miss
Helen Mesmer and Mrs. Lee Ban
mister. There are now two CAMS
of camp fire girls in the city, the
original camp named SUM, with
Miss Mesmer as guardian and num-
beringI l3, was organized and re-
ceived its charter about year ago,
and the second camp has been or
ganized recently with Mrs. Lee Ban
lister as guardian and has applied
for charter. The latter organiza-
tion numbers twenty, the maxi
mum number permitted in one
camp. AS the scouts organization
had to dispel a popular misconcep-
tion as to their being of a military
character, the camp fire orgaiza-
tion has to combat popular mis-
conception that membership
would tend to draw the girls away
from ordinary household duties.
The facts are that the aim Of the
organization is to magnify these
homely duties and throw about
them the charm Of romance and
thus make them attractive to the
girl at the time of life when the
romantic has a peculiar appeal to
her nature. With this object in
view all the prizes and honors Of
the society are offered for excel
lence in the various household and
feminine duties, and take from
these duties the appearance Of
drudgery.
The boys entertained the young
ladies by an exhibition of their
prowess in making fire without
matches, an exhibition Of first aid
and other stunts in scout work. and
later treated their guests to ice
cream and cake.
