so busy that they have been unable
at times to hold their weekly gath
ering. However. they have had
much JOY together. On one trip
they went to Green River gorge for
the day and had a wonderful time
roaming thru those wilds OF nature
beside rushing mountain torrent.
Another outing Is planned It is
hoped 1t will be an overnight e1-

there are to be qualifications a.
follows:
/. Each must do something defin-
tie toward her rank and II possible
the to-be wood gatherers must take
