The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1927-10-21

Everyone congratulates troop No.
3 on the tea that the members
served Saturday afternoon, October
18th. It was most fitting way to
terminate Girl Scout Week and the
Scouts feel that a larger group of
Ely women have been introduced
to Girl Scouting as result. The
program planned by the Scouts as
part of their requirement for the
Hostess badge was very apprropri-
ate. The numbers were presented
as follows:
1. A talk by Janet Laing on "Why
Girl Scouting Should Interest the
Modern Girl" which proved both en-
tightening and educational. 1t not
only convinced the interested audi
ence of the values and ideals of the
movement, but it also proved one OF
our Scouts as most promising pub
lie speaker.
This is part of her talk: '"The
average American girl from the ages
of about ten to sixteen or seventee
is interested in athletics of all sorts,
both in and out of doors, in camp
ing, gardening, hiking and Nature
study, and above all, health, and the
laws and principles upon which good
health is based. Scouting offers all
of these and much more. Scouting
educated girls along the practical
lines of life, the every day, common
place that may be put to practical
use are stressed. In other words,
it teaches the girl the essentials
upon which happy, healthy lives are
based.
"You all know that there are
some lonely girls and wide-awake,
active girls in our community. They
| are all looking for something jolly,
new and different. Something more
than they now have. Scouting will
give it to them for it opens up
new world to any girl"
2. Songs by Scouts of troop 8.
3. Dance in costume by Winifred
| McCarty.
A. Piano duet played by Edna
Lampi and Janet Laing.
5. Group songs by all of the
Scouts.
A lunch of coffee, delightful
sandwiches, pickles and cake was
served after the program with the
Scouts presiding as hostesses.
Miss Friedlein, instructor in the
home economics department, is in
charge of the hostess group this
fall. Glasses started last week and
will continue on Wednesday nights
at a o'clock. The group will meet
| in the domestic science laboratory.
We are very grateful to be able to
have such splendid supervision and
we know the Scouts will be very
| well informed in all the duties of
hostess at the end of Miss Friedlein's
course.
Girl Scouts One troop has ac-
tually handed in some news for the
column This is too good to be
true-let's have more of it from now
on. All troop news must be in be-
fore 5 o'clock on Tuesday night of
each week.
News for the column from troop e.
scribe's report:
Troop won second prize for
the best display in the windows dur
| ing Girl Scout week. 1t occupied
Rothman's garage window and rep
resented the Home Nurse badge.
We do not yet know what the prize
will be; it is still very mysterious.
Eight new members Joined the
troop Monday, which helps to in
crease our number. We are glad
to have new members and to help
them in their tests"
The menu contest and the camp
writing contest have been extended
one more week. 1t was found that
the various activities of Girl Scout
week allowed for little time in which
to write and hand in the required
amount so more time is being given.
Friday, the 21st, is the -"ery last
date.
The prizes will be announced next
week.
Troop three won first prize in
the window displays; troop six won
second and troop four won third
with their camp display.
There will be an all-Scout Hal
loween party held October 27,
Thursday evening from z until 9
o'clock. All the camp awards will
be given out at this time. The party
will be masquerade. 1t will not
be necessary to urge every scout to
come out for the big fun of the
evening. Masks! Spooks! Witches!
Magic!
