A TRIP TO EXPOSITION

linery team of Newark, cOnSlSIlnS VI
Margaret Jarmon, Edith McCarnes
and Rebecca Hutchinson met sterner
competition in clothing judging and
had to be satisfied with fourth place
in competition with teams from seven
States. Their demonstration Of home
millinery, however, raised them TO
the championship level. In addition
to making a complete hat and the ar
tifcial flowers to trim it, the girls
wore dresses and hats made by them
selves in the club work at home'
which proved very practical way IN
which to demonstrate the value OF
their club training.
zach member of the Delaware
group brought home medal OF rec
osnition and a ribbon for meritor1ous
work in demonstrating better meth
ods in agriculture and home making
They were highly cOmplemented by
the official Judges for excellence IN
work. and by the camp management
for their department and enthusiasm:
The main purpose of Camp Vail is
to omen the way for an interchange OF
ideas in club work among the repre-
sentatives of the different States. The
bovs and girls who represent the
States work with the leaders in snow
ino visitors at the exposition.
That the Delaware boys and girls
who attended Camp Vail this year.
brought home with them wider VS.
ion of service and a desire to carry
their own good fortune to others has
already been amply demonstrated
Within five days after their return
from Springfield, the girls OF the Go
yer Leaf team of Newark had visited
the Ogletown Club and by means Oh
their demonstration and personal ac-
counts of the club experience helped
to build UP a new and greater inter-
est in club work and community wei
fare.
Last week the boys from the Green
wood team visited a group OF boys
near Ellendale and helped them reor-
ganize their club activities. Tnree
davs later the Greenwood group held
a camp fire meeting near Greenwood
tn which they invited boys and girls
from three communities. After telling
of their Camp Vail experience they
nroceeded to show how new CLUB
oroups could be organized to advan-
1 faoe in their community. Edwin Un-
ger of this club has also organized a
2 no111trv club for the following year
and will assume it's leadership.
, On the following night the Houston
. team held a community meetlng' III,
vited in the members OF the girls
! club who had become somewhat dis
corraged. and by their enthusiasm
a and experience gained at Camp VAN
q succeeded in not only getting the
= girls group re-organized, but founo
n eroneh interest to form new group
o of younger girls. ,...,,
f Thus it is seen that with little
v opr ortlnity these boys and girls have
: been quick to gain a wider VISION ol
# luseiuJness and put into practice tne
d national club motto, "Io Make In'
% Bes. Better"

1ss This year with total club membt
shin for the State Of 1,152 boys a

Already voluntary membership

TeO' ment in the history Of the departme
Since the time of the leaders is
ready completely taken up it wol
seem that they will have to adopt
bovs' club motto, "Bite off more II
YOU can chew, and then chew it.
