GIRL SCOUT NEWS BRIEFS

Girl Scouts at Camp Dellwood
have been engaged recently in the
various clubs offered at camp.
Handicraft clubs have been among
the most popular in camp. These
classes are held at the Gyro Chalet
under the supervision of Mrs. Mabel
Fouty and her assistants. Among
the articles completed by the clubs
are lamp shades in decorated and
shellacked parchment, including
bed lamps, bridge, small table and
desk lamp shades. The hammered
German silver bracelets which the
girls make in different designs are
very attractive. The Scouts also
make key containers of fooled and
laced leather in different designs.
The neckerchief slides Of leather
with jewels are very popular.
Many Girl Scout leaders have
taken the opportunity of visiting
the camp and attending various
clubs during the past period. Some
of the captains have stayed over
night.
All Scouts were very pleased to
have as their guests for dinner last
Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Edger-
ton and their family and DR.. and
Mrs. Herbert T. Wagner. Edgerton
with the assistance of DR.. Wagner
made possible the fine diving ia
Cilities at camp.
Pioneer unit, under the direction
of Miss Dorothy Ruth Miller, has
been enjoying gypsy trips which
they take each period. The last
gypsy trip was taken to McCormicks
creek canyon where they worked on
their pioneer merit badge, and took
nature hikes. Mrs. Edward Gard
ner, Girl Scout council member and
treasurer, was the chaperone for the
last trip.
The pottery section OF the handi-
craft classes is turning out some
very successful models of various
kinds. Some of the most popular
products have been ash trays with
animal ornaments, vases, both
nodded and hand-decorated, fired,
painted and shellaced.
The girls have made various vari-
ations from the animal designs for
which we have molds, including,
bear, elephant, dog and rabbit de-
signs. The coil system of hand
modelling with tin templet is used
to smooth and finish the objects
after modelling. Some attractive and
original designs have been planned
this year by the girls in the clubs.
After the objects have been
nodded, they are glazed and fired
according to the color designs Sc
lected by the girls. AT the close OF
the camp schedule this year, an ex-
hibit is to be held Of the most out
standing objects of handicraft made
during the summer.
