 Camp Wequapauset
Brownie Unit, Week of July I4-2I Completely Filled; Director Reviews Early History of Camp Movement

Brownie Unit for the week of July IA to 21 is completely filled. Camp Wequapauset is located three miles from the center of Waterbury on Boydcn street. It accommodates six- ty five girls and twenty staff mem- bers. The camp has four units or separate camps, each under the di- rection of an experienced councillor and an assistant. All councillors are eighteen years of age or over.
 First Camp In '28
 The Waterbury Girl Scouts, back in 1926, held their first camp for two weeks only at Bantam Lake, in the Cove. This camp accommodated fifty girls who were placed in units according to their ages. The older girls had Pioneer unit where they lived in tents and cooked two meals of their own each day. The rext year Mir. Alaine White of Litchfield, owner of the camp property, donat- ed two more cottages because he was so impressed by the good ex- perience. the girls were having.
 In 1928 the program was made less strenuous and the girls were allowed to have the afternoons free to go with whatever groups they wished. In 1929, due to big in- crease in the Girl Scout member ship, the Council began to look for a larger and better place for camp. The camp was moved to the south shore of Bantam Lake, to the pro- perty now owned by the White Memorial Foundation. This site proved too costly and in l930 forty three and one half acres of the Welton property in Waterbury was bought by the Council.
 Camp Directors
 The following people have direc- ted the camp since 1926: Mrs. Agnes Shier, Mrs. c. w. Northrop. Miss Dorothy W. Maclean. Miss Agnes Valentine, Miss Edna Weber and Mrs. Alice Robbins Under their leadership the Camp and its activ- ities have been improved until to- day the camp is in the list of safe and healthful camps and is factor in the summer educational pro- gram of the girls of Waterbury.

Weighed in a di3hpan in the early days of their first year, the quins registered less than five pounds apiece. The photo, above, of this weighing has never before been published. But by their sec Ond birthday, Annette, shown at left with Nurse Noel, seems pleas cd at the 25 pounds with which the scales credit her.
 With the gaining strength and maturity of the little girls, it will soon be possible to set back their bedtime a quarter of an hour to 6:45, and to cut down their noon nap period from two hours to ar hour and a half.
 "Shush" Each Other
 While they still get up at 6:3C in the morning, once in while one or more of the girls will wake up shortly before that. But they all understand that if they do they must lie quietly in their beds and not disturb the others. Nc one will come and play with them. or bring toys to amuse them. In fact, so well is this tradition es- tablished that they will sometimes "shush" one another when two are awake and one starts to raise a bit of noise.
 No one could fail to be pleased with the steady, normal develop ment of the little Dionne girls. and on their third birthday their progress fully justifies the gay and roguish smiles with which the five greet the joyful occasion.

potato scale which was the only instrument we had at hand to weight them with would not per- init individual weighing. So we weighed them together. The to- tai for the five was 13 pounds, 6 ounces.
 By the time we got more &C., curate scales, on June 4, 1884, six days after their birth, they had actually lost weight, scaling TO- tai of scarcely over 10 pounds. Marie, at l pound, 13 ounces, was the tiniest; Yvonne, pounds, 6 1-4 ounces, the heaviest, Annette weighed 2 pounds, ounces; Ce- cile, 2 pounds, 1 ounce; and Emile, pound, 13 ounces.
 At the end of the first six months, all were weighing between 0 and Il pounds each; at the end of the first year, between Is and IT 1-2 pounds. The upward progression has never halted for any of the girls except for brief periods when they were i'll.
 Yv0nne Usually Heaviest
 By the middle of their second year the quins were weighing be- tween 20 and g pounds each, ard by their second birthday. from q to 25 pounds. Tn the middle of their third year, they weighed from A l-2 to 28 1-2 pounds each, and .he ,ast weighing before their third birth day finds them boasting weights as follows: Annette, 3l 1-2; Cecile, 3l; Yvonne, 30 1-2; Emile, 30, and Marie, 27.
 Yvonne who has been the leader in weight most of the time, has been temporarily headed by Ann cite and Cecile because recent cold set her back somewhat.
 Perhaps those of you who have never seen the quins would like to know exactly how big they are For that reason. have set down here for the first time, some of the measurements that will enable you to tell exactly.
 Two Have F Teeth Each
 Cecile is now the tallest, 34 3-4 inches; Annette, 34 5-8 inches; Yvonne, 34 1-2 inches; and Marie and Emile, 34 inches apiece. It is the fact that the little girls are 50 close together in height that 1t makes 1t especially hard for visitors to tell them apart in the play yard
 Here are composite measure ments, then, of typical quin:
 Inches Length Of arm, hand included IA Length of foot ............. 5h Circumference of ankle ...... 5as Circumference of calf ........ "A Width of shoulders ........... 9as Width of mouth .............. 1h Circumference of neck ....... 9H Circumference of waist ....... 20A Circumference of thighs ..... 11M Chest measurement, around ,.. 1872 Length of limbs from point of
 hip bone to the floor ....... 1872
 Marie and Emile each has a new tooth cut recently, giving them 17 apiece, one ahead of the 16 apiece which the others can show.
 The quins have been adequately and successfully protected against diphtheria and smallpox, and the successful administration to them of he toxoid diphtheria protec- ton and the smallpox vaccine was a great satisfaction to me, know ing as well as I do at first hand the ravages of these diseases. Many people, remembering wildly their own childhood experiences, have written to me asking whether the quins have been troubled with tonsils CT adenoids.
 Still Have T0nsiis
 Of course they have tonsils and adenoids. Every child has them, unless they have been removed. But the view toward these things is somewhat different today from

He soon realized that when a boat
becomes a home, it ought also to
have telephone. So now the boat
not only has telephone, but an ex-

LABOR SHORTAGE
MENACES TOBACCO
Kentucky's Crop Ready to
Harvest-Work Relief
Program Blamed.
~ the Associated Press.

LOUISVILLE, KY, September g.
An acute labor shortage threatens
curtailment of Kentucky's 1887 hurley
tobacco crop. Growers are offering
$3.50 to IS day for cutters-but there
are few takers.
Tom Middleton, tobacco expert of
the State Department of Agriculture,
said at Frankfort yesterday that crops
have been ready to cut for a week.
He declared farmers have been unable
to hire cutters because so many men
are working on Federal relief projects.
Severe loss from disease and rot al
ready was reported in many sections,
he said.
George H. Goodman, State Works
Progress Administration director,
warned relief workers they must accept
fair-paying tobacco jobs or face dis
missal.
Cutting work is farther advanced in
the vicinity of Lexington, where only
mild" shortage was experienced last
week, growers said.
At Paris, center of one of the sections
reporting a serious labor shortage.
Circuit Judge William B. Ardery ex-
cused a grand jury so the members
could harvest their tobacco. In Henry
County, northeast of Louisville, the
opening of school was postponed a
week so farmers sons might help in
the field
The State Department of Agricul-
ture said prospects indicated crop
totaling 24o,0o0ooO to 100000 900
pounds, barring further damage.
Last years was approximately 2O0,-
100000, and that of 1885 was IT'S. .0o0.-
600 pounds.
Tobacco experts said the price prob
ably would be slightly less than last
years average Of about $35 per hun
dredweight for good grades. The 1895
average was S18
