TWO WEEKS ONLY AT SUMMER CAMP
 FOR EVERY GIRL

Several important decisions were reached at a recent meeting of the Girl Scout Council, wien the en- tire evening was devoted to a discussion of Girl Scout Camp plans and problems, according to Mrs. Scott Murphy, G. S. Commis- sioner
 One of the biggest problems fac- ing the Council group was that of allotting the tine the girls. could spend at the camp, and the final I decision was that none could be given more than two weeks, in order Ito make it possible for all who have registered to attend. There's been large increase in the number of registrations this year, but no cor Responding increase in the accom- modations at camp, and the only way to give each girl the opportun- i, ity of going is to limit each one to net mere than two weeks, while the Brownies only have the one week l. as usual.
 Several girls who had expressed the desire to spend three or four weeks at camp were naturally dis appointed, but after the situation was explained they cheerfully ac- cepted the news as good Girl Scouts would
 Parents of the girls will be re- assured to know that this summer there will be a man at camp dur ing the entire period, and also a boat with an outboard motor, mak- ing it possible to reach town quick lv in case of an emergency of any kind.
 Mrs. Ferol Onstott of Warren, Ohio, the Camp Director for the season, was arriving by plane today and plans are for her to go out to the camp tomorrow.
 The report was made by the Finance Committee in charge of the drive for funds for camp that to date a total of approximately $l250 has been received, about S250 short of the goal of $500 which was considered the least needed to cover the expenses.
