CAMP FIRE GIRL NEWS

AT the first of the year the
Camp Fire girls gave a
party for the new girls that
were going to join the group.
This was given in Mrs. Sher-
|rill's yard. Every older
Camp Fire girl brought
lunch for a new member
and herself. Games were
were played for entertain
ment.
In October we had a
Council Fire. The Wood
Gatherers and Fire Makers
took rank and the new girls
were welcomed into the
group. The Auxiliary ladies
were invited.
We celebrated Christmas
by having a group party.
We drew names and ex-
changed presents. Different
groups supplied entertain
ment. We used the cafeteria
and refreshments were
served.
Soon after Christmas we
went on a hike to Gravel
Pit. We ate and talked of
Camp plans.
Along in April we invited
the Florence girls scouts to
visit us at our meeting We
played games on the play
ground and then went to the
Cafeteria for refreshments
of cookies and punch.
Our last Council Fire was
at the church with quite a
few mothers present. Some
girls took rank and others re-
ceived honors. Several re-
ceived the birthday honors.
Cake and lemonade were
served.
We are especially anxious
to go to Camp. One of the
ways we earned money was
by giving two one act plays.
They were largely attended
and the profits were around
$50. The auxiliary helped
us make money also. The
Camp Fire dance cleared
SIS. We are gradually
working our way to camp.
On Saturday, May II we
entertained our mothers at
the Mothers Day tea. Each
girl pinned a bouquet on
their mother and then, one
on themselves. The girls
gave musical reading, piano
solos and songs to entertain
the Mothers" Camp was
discussed and refreshments
were served.
We are going camping
Sunday, May 19 and we are
going to return one week
later. Mr.. Christensen has
been kind enough to give us
the use of his truck. We are
very grateful to him for his
consideration. This has
brought the cost of going to
camp down to about SO per
girl. We are going to
Granite Dells which is near
Prescott. About 18 girls are
going. ! am sure we will all
have an enjoyable time.
This winds up our work
for the past year. We have
had a very successful year
and hope the next one will be
Just as successful.

PUMP IS
TO GET PRIN|NC SOON
FOUR BILLION DOLLARS
is SOON TO BE
LOOSED

Regardless of party af-
filiation, Americans are
watching eagerly for signs
that the four billion dollar
work relief fund is swinging
into action now that the de-
cision has been made to use
this much printing for the
prosperity pump. Ii takes a
hippopotamus longer than a
mouse to get moving. How
ever, those who feared the
fund would be slow getting
into action may lay aside
those fears. II appears that
about a billion dollars
worth of plans had been
held up due to lack of funds.
A billion dollars are rarin'
TO go places and do things.
Which reminds us that Gen.
Charles G.. Dawes propesied
last December that there
would be an almost unpre-
cendented business upturn in
June or July of this year.
His actual words are:-
II suggest that not later
than (next) June or July
should be the beginning of
the greatest sustained de-
for durable goods due
to the accumulation for five
years of postponed demands
and this time also should
mark the commencement of
the year of full business
prosperity in the country"
