ODE TO POSTURE

Good posture IS an asset
Watch very few posses.
sad 10 relate the favored ones.
Seem 10 be growing less.
We see the folks around US
All slumped down in a heap.
And the way that people navigate
Is enough TO make you weep.
Some elevate their shoulders.
Some hollow in their backs.
Some Stiifen up their muscles
And some just plain relax.
The one who walks with grace and
pOise
Is a spectacle so rare
That even down on gay Broadway
The people turn and stare.
Don't thrust your head out turtle
wise
Don't bunch your shoulders so.
Don't sag and drag yourself around
No style TO that. you know.
IL you would cut a figure
In business. sport or school
Just mind the posture precepts
Obey the posture rule.
Get uplift in your bearing
And strength and spring and vim
No matter what your worries,
To SLOUGH won't alter them.
Just square your shoulders to the
world
You're not the sort 20 quit.

It's the way we carry IL.

Campfire Girls


The owasaka Camp Fire Girls
staggered out OF their comfy
warm beds at the wee dark hour OF
five a. m. last week to go 10 Ber-
trand and cook their collective
breakfasts over camp FIRE. Each
girl had really to cook three break
fasts as that was the amount It re-
CURED TO satisfy one individual out
there under the influence OF that
fresh morning air that thrill OF sun
rise and a new day. and the joyous
cpmpanionship.
Getting water for the cocoa was
the great event OF this hike. The
skill it required to get back to camp
after crossing field and fence, with a
few drops Of water still remaining IN
their kettles. was beyond compre-
hension. 1t CAN be done Il one is
careful not TO laugh, but can't stop
laughing long enough-not on

Thursday. the day that ended the
first half OF November Owasaka
furnished another Illustration of pep
for that particular day happened to
be the coolest day yet and everyone
was saying, How cold it is, it's go
ing to snow"
But any one on the way between
High School and Potawatomi park
that afternoon, saw one bunch of
girls that didn't mind-girls carry
ing beefsteak and buns. doughnuts
and cookies, and cocoa and pickles
The great event Of this hike was
making the fire after two days of
rain on every single twig lying in
Potawatomi park. It looked rather
disastrous when all our matches and
PAPER were used and nothing but
smoke had been produced, and we
were on the verge Of starvation.
But after a gift OF more matches and
paper from a nearby grocery and
with better scientific methods and
hats used as bellows the glorious FIRE
vas made 70 burn and we were soon
smacking ssivertng lips over beef
steak and cocoa.
Two Camn Fire groups at the
Oliver school and one at the Perley
school were organized last week and

GOGGLES is a little kitty; he is
black and white and is real skinny.
He has a stubby little nose which Is
pink most OF the time. with two
large black eyes which are almost
on the end OF his nose. When he
comes in the house he won't jump on
the table and get into things as other
cats like TO do. He likes TO get up
on ones shou der and walk around.
We have taught him a new trick. We
will all line up and put our arms
from each others shoulder and he
walks on our arms from one Shout
der to another.
He is a very clean little kitten.
he goes around inspecting the three
other cats and if they are not as
clean as he thinks they should be-
he gives them a thorough bath. To
show how clean he really is: One
evening while mother was waiting
for papa TO return from his work she
was lying on a duofold asleep and
GOGGLES was there with her. All at
once she felt something like sand
paper running over her face with
one little. scratch on the end Of her
nose. She Immediately awakened
to find it was GOGGLES washing her
face since he didn't have anything
else to do.

her an invitation to stay outdoors.
When she gets in the house she

morning this week papa drove up

ToodIes goes upstairs into the attic
to search for mice. During the
summer we had an awful lot OF
trouble with her. She had three
real bad sick spells and therefore
lost three Of her nine lives.
We will now talk on Tippy awhile.
Tippy is a beautiful big tiger cat
with a snowy white breast and
stomach. She has beautiful big
fluffy tail, which Is grey with black
stripes around It a certain distance
apart. When we first got Tippy she
had a beautiful white tip on the end
of her tail One day not long ago,
papa was using the scissors for
something and all at once we heard
him talking to Tippy. When the
cat came out to the kitchen, the
white fuzzy tip Of her tail was gone.
Mamma started 10 scold papa for fl
and he said that Tippy told him 10
cut It off,-that It was too hard to
keep clean.
Tippy is a regular old house cat

washes herself. She IS pretty
nibby kitty too. and likes TO jump on

/ find a coy corner to sleep in, and q
] few other little cat-like things.
