Wisconsin, Nebraska, Michigan,
Ohio, Iowa. Kansas, Missouri and
Indiana. The enthusiasm of this
attractive field worker about
Camp Fire is contagious. As her
hostess in one city remarked:
Miss Garvin's extensive back
ground of information and ex-
perience, together with q spark
ling personality, sense of humor,
and deep understanding of girls,
makes q truly rare combination"
A native Of Superior, Wiscon-
sin, Miss Garvin entered Camp
Fire work in 1925 as an Exec
utive in Yakima, Washington,
after having been Guardian, or
volunteer leader, of a group of
girls in Spokane for several
years. From 1929 until joining
the National Staff, she acted as
Executive in Spokane, Washing
ton, where she also directed
their Camp Sweyo.akan.
AIMS OF ORGANIZATION
Defining the aims and pur-
poses of the Camp Fire organiza-
ton, Miss Garvin declares: "This
progressive program Of recrea-
tional activities is designed to
develop individual girls accord
ing to their own special interests,
and to give them experience in
cooperating with friends :heir
own age in a variety of worth
while projects, which may range
from planning a meal to present
ing a patriotic pageant. The
Give Service principle of the
Camp Fire Girls is vitality i'm
portant in a national emergency,
just as it is in everyday life.
Camp Fire teaches the girls to
appreciate that life in America
is precious gift, and that it is
privilege to share community
responsibility. One of the finest
contributions that may be made
to our national defense program
Is for women to assume the VOL
unteer leadership of q Camp
Fire group. I have found that
Guardians derive fully as much
benefit from the program as the
girls. Once a woman has enjoy
ed the experience of being a
Guardian, she never wants to
give It up. And feel the same
way about my work in the
field!"
Miss Garvin's pep and vitality
have caused her ;, try her hand
at acquiring many new skills and
hobbies. Her favorite recreation
has always been winter sports.
She Is also enthusiastic about
hiking and mountain climbing.
