CAMP FIRE ENTERTAINMENT
Camp Fire Girls Give Interesting En-
tertainment Friday and Saturday
Have Poor Attendance

The entertainment given by the
Camp Fire girls of this city under the
supervision of Mrs. R. o. Dibb, on
Friday and Saturday Afternoon of last
week, was a most interesting and en-
joyable affair." The first part of the
program consisted of medley of pop
ular war songs, sung by the Camp Fire
Mae Simpson, some very pretty dances
by Abbie Anna McHenry and Sarah
Pfarr, a reading by Loween Faul and
a clever original Hoover song, ar
ranged to the tune Of "A Perfect Day"
sung by Maxine Robinson. Following
this an illustrated talk was given by
Mrs. R. O. Dibb, telling of the Camp
Fire girls work during which sixty
slides were shown, picturing the var
ious phases of their entertainments
and methods. At the close of this
interesting talk HOO feet of motion
pictures were shown, which also per-
tanned to the activities of the Camp
Fire girls organization. 1t is regret
ted that the entertainment was not
very we'll attended as the girls had
hoped to realize fund to assist them
in the support of French War Or
phan. Those attending however, great
ly appreciated the efforts put forth by
these young girls and commended them
on the unusual talent displayed.
Mr.. E. c. Chamberlin very kindly
donated two watches which were
ratified off each afternoon, the lucky
numbers being drawn by Unabdlle
Luney and Madeline Stenglin.

considerable distance from shore the
boat capsized and both were compelled
to swim to shore through the heavy
breakers. Cramer has always had the
reputation of being one Of the best
