Camp Fire has come more and more
to the fore in Perth Amboy. There
are now three groups organized in
this city and two more being form

efits of the organization.

sociate field secretary of the Camp
Fire Girls, will come to Perth Am

ISOLATION. Guardians from Metu-
chen, Woodbridge, Roosevelt. South
Amboy and this city will be present.
The forming of this association is
a big step forward for Camp Fire
in this section of New Jersey and
means far greater opportunity for
service and growth. Both the guar
dams and the girls will be greatly
benefited. Miss Bousfield will ad-
dress a mothers meeting at the
Public Library auditorium tomor-

talk will be of much interest not
only to the mothers of Camp Fire
Girls, but to all mothers of adolf
escent girls, to whom a cordial in
vitation is extended.
The guardians will meet at the
Public Library in the evening at
7:45. Miss Bousfield will bring with
her from New York headquarters
an interesting exhibit which she will
show to the guardians at this meet
ing.
The three local groups of Camp
Fire Girls participated in the Arm
istice Day parade last Saturday. The
Bemahgut Camp Fire had a float
representing a camp scene or which
were several of the members. The
Chez Maun and NJ Winta groups
had a float representing the Camp
Fire slogan. Camp Fire GIRLS join
hands around the world.
The Chez Maun Camp Fire held
a ceremonial meeting recently at
the home of Marie Kilmurray On
Paterson street, when Marie Axen
a received into the circle and
Marie Kilmurray became a wood
gatherer. Honors were awarded
and each girl told of a particular
instance when she had followed the
third point of the law, Pursue
Knowledge, during the past month.
The guardian, Miss Grace McMur-
tree, talked to the girls about the
next point, Be Trustworthy, and
asked them to pay special attention
to this law, reporting their success
at the next ceremonial meeting. The
homemade goody sale held by these
girls was very successful. Every
thing was sold and a lea sum real
lied.
The Nu Winta Camp Fire held it's
usual monthly social at the home
of Gladys Ludvigsen on Broad
street. While several of the men,
bers entertained at the piano and
with vocal selections, the rest of the
girls were busy sewing for their sale
to be held the latter part of this
month.

planned. 1t is an aftermath OF the

have a greater difficulty in solv.

lack OF abundant natural resources

dicted. In Northern France the

thick and run at an angle Of 45
degrees. The working face Is
reached after a descent of 1900

was next related. He then visited
the Saar basis, where 100000 Ger
man miners are working under the
direction OF French engineers, pro.
ducing fifteen millions OF tons Of
coal annually. The French and
Germans fear and hate each other,
but the French engineers by their
frequent visit to the men in the
pits have bridged over this feeling
to a certain degree, and the Ger
man miners are doing their best
to set out a large production OF
coal. The French engineer goes to
