4-H CLUB GIRLS
TO HAVE ANNUAL
CAMPING WEEK
Worcester And Wicomico To Join
In Happy Vacation At Public
Landing July 10th
STATE LEADER WILL
ATTEND THE OUTING

In an old farm mansion near the
Sinepuxent Bay forty girls of the A.
II Clubs of Wicomico and Worcester
counties will spend joyous week of
camping. They are to arrive there on
July 20 for their annual outing.
Plans have finally been completed
for the use of the Diegglebert prop
erty at Public Landing. The spacious
shaded grounds and the adjoining
bathing beach there offer a charming
setting for the attractive program
which has been prepared. Miss Dor
othy Emerson, State Leader, will be
there for the entire time and assist
ing her will be the two Home Dem
onstration Agents of the represented
counties, Miss Florence Mason and
Miss Lucy Walter.
The day begins with the rising bell
at GAS land from then on something
interesting is arranged for every
spare moment. Setting up exercises
precede breakfast, which is timed for
7.30. An order period follows and
then room inspection, after which
the duties Of the camp are assigned.
Camp classes occupy the girls until
noon when dinner is served. Rest
hour comes next and then bathing
and supervised games, and then free
period. After supper there is short
vesper service, and at nine o'clock
comes bedtime.
tine there will be an added feature
this year in the special classes held
in constructing furniture from boxes.
The designs will be cottage style and
are to be painted and stenciled. Cur
tains to correspond will be made. This
work will divide the girls into groups
according to age. The younger ones
will probably make doll furniture.
Besides the vesper service, camp
fires, "weenie" roasts and hikes,
wholesome games will be taught
whenever the time makes it possible.
This is to encourage good sportsman
ship. The setting-up exercise will
take the attractive form of folk and
esthetic dancing, rather than the more
vigorous calisthenics. The cooking
will be under the supervision Of the
older girls, and each day new ap-
pointments will be made so that nc
girl will be on duty for one task more
than one day, unless voluntarily.
The point system has been adopted
for this year. There are five groups
relating to the Heart, Health, Heao
and Hand, the club insignia. This
has some fifteen subdivisions. Quail
fcation in each subdivision counts II
points and camper is supposed tt
have at least so, or one-third, of the
specified requirements, to win an "H'
letter. Awarding the honors will b'
the closing event of the outing, will

ing of the club rituals.
