ed. Mrs. Raymond SparKlin was
chairman of the committee to To-
cate site for this day camp. The
committee was we'll rewarded for
its efforts when Mrs. SparkIin was
able to borrow Lester G. Lovett's
beautiful property on Haven Lake.
1t is because of Mr.. Lovetts inter
| est in the youth of Milford that he
very kindly consented to letting the
| girl scouts use it free of charge the
week of July 13. There is a fence
with two gates around the prom
erty so the cOunselOrs won't have
to worry about cars passing along
( the road. Our good friends in the
KiWanis Club have offered to pro-
vide and set up the necessary tents
needed in case of storm and for our
supplies.
Miss Elizabeth McHugh, the reg
ional director from Washington. n.
c., and Mrs. K. Thomas Evern-

last week with Mrs. Frank Glen
daniel, Jr., Mrs. LOcklin Huth. Mrs
William T. Jackson. Mrs. Weldor.
Reed and Mrs. Erwin Harder to
inspect the camp site. Miss Nc
Hugh and Mrs. Everngam were
very much impressed with the
beautiful site and feel certain Our
camp will be big success. It was
necessary to have National Girl

with our plans so the committee
was delighted when Miss McHugb
heartily approved of our day camp
site. National Girl Scout standards
require that all day camps have
liability insurance and workman's
