High Principles
Being Stressed
By Girls Camps

With an attendance of 500 girls
between the ages of 7 and 18 years,
five Girl Scout camps in the District
and nearby Maryland are empha-
sizing resourcefulness and outdoor
living in their summer programs.
Some Of, the camps, as in the
case of the District II camp, are
stressing cultural subjects such as
music, poetry, art and literature
and are placing emphasis on Amer
icas contribution to the arts and
history. Both the camp in District
II and District v will close Friday.
For the closing program members
of the District II camp will exhibit
nature work and handcraft made
during the summer period. Feature
of the closing program will be a
pageant, "The Epic of America" !"
which will begin at o'clock Friday
at Fort Kemble.
The District II camp calls itself
Americana" Divided into four
units, each unit has called itself
after some section of the United
States. The two Brownie units are
known as the Rocky Mountaineers
and the Cotton Kings. The Inter-
mediatets are called the Middle
Westerners and the New Englanders
All four groups are carrying out the
sectional idea in their various prof.
ects.
Each group is learning folk songs
characteristic of the respective re-
gions and in handcraft the girls
are making things typical of the
different parts of the country. On
cook-out, food typical of each sec
ton is prepared. Original nature
poems have been written about the
different regions.
One Of the service projects for the
older girls in the camp has been
the painting of old coffee tins in
pastel shades. The tins are then
sent to nurses going on foreign duty
for cold cream containers. The
younger girls have been making fag
bags for the United States Forest
Service to give to all campers and
visitors to our National Forests
The little bags contain safety warn
ings and are to be used for old
matches, cigarette and cigar stubs
Mrs. Maurice Markham is direc-
tor Of the camp and Mrs. Mark
Pender is running a day nursery in
connection with the camp. Chill
dren of the staff members attend
the nursery and are known as
Gremlins. Mrs. Hazel Wilson
author of children's books and
stories, comes twice a week to read
to the girls. Interesting speakers
also are brought to the camp. A
safety specialist and British flyer
have talked to the girls during this
camp session.

AN ADVANCE AIRDROME IN
TUNISIA, July 15.-The fall OF
ancient Syracuse two days after the
arrival of glider-borne British Tom

American troop carrier planes, was
hastened by the pioneering OF these

what was happening and after hap
hazard volleys into the sky tried

factor in keeping our losses neg
