1t Was Wonderful
My Trip to Camp Miniwanca
Was Wonderful
BY LAVERNE KNERR. Fergns Comfy

L WAS AWARDED this trip on
my Junior Leadership project. When
1 found out that had won trip
could hardly believe it. The actual
award was $50 scholarship to
Camp Miniwanca on the shores of
Lake Michigan.
The date of the camp was Aug. 3
to 16. travelled by plane and left
Lewistown Aug. 1. 1 enjoyed the
plane ride very much; but 1 think
I'd just as soon ride my faithful
horse.
Our days at camp began at $50.
They gave us about five minutes to
dress; then run to morning set ups
(exercises). After that came morn
ing dip in Stony Lake. After the
dip, we had to hurry to get our tents
and tent area cleaned up for inspec-
ton so we could walk the half mile
in time for the morning devotion
period just before breakfast. Morn
ing devotion was a Is minute quiet
period given each morning for camp
ers to read devotional sheets and
meditation.
After breakfast classes were held
until noon. These classes were just
like a regular school class only we
didn't have any homework My
classes were Balanced Living"
''The Life and Teachings of Jesus"
''The Art of Creative Living" and
Scamp Leadership"
In the afternoon we had classes in
archery and swimming. Following
our afternoon classes we had tribal
games.
There were six tribes all of Indian
names and each tribe was divided
! into six teams. My terminates and
were Crowfeet, and the team I
was on won every game we played.
Now I don't like to brag, but I just
had to get that in.
Supper was our big meal; all the
meals were good. We got our mail at
supper, so we were always in a
hurry to get to the supper table
Two nights we had tent cookouts on

This Opera Star
Is Rjngsiders'
Delight

Marguerite Piazza, OF all peo-
pie, has turned up in the Harle-
ouin Room OF the Sheraton
Carlton Hotel, which usually
traffics in entertainment OF good
but not operate calibre. It
couldn't have happened to a
happier set of ringsiders. The
brunette Miss Piazza, as any
one knows who used to watch
her on TVS "Show of Shows"
is one of the trimmer modern
models in the opera singer line.
Almost every one also knows
that she can do an operatic aria
to a fine turn, in a voice that
has a lot of warmth and tonal
color. She still may have a sur
prize or two for those who pay
her a visit at the Cartons
supper club. For Miss Piazza is
entering this new Ito herr area
of show business with one of the
slickest acts you've ever seen
around these parts.
Miss Piazza brings not only
talent to town but the showcase
to display 1t to full advantage.
She sings opera, all right, but
she counterpoints it with va
riety Of other things aimed at
the n-addicts. even including
a strip-tease. It's a most elegant
and refined one, but it's there.
For a fine, frenzied finale. Miss
Piazza betrays her New Orleans
background and steps out of
character, with the aid Of Joe
Ricardel and orchestra, to sing
some real. low-down Dixieland.,
When Marguerite Piazza sings
"The Saints Go Marching In"
they march.

A few blocks uptown a less
well-known singer is holding
forth prettily in the Sazerac
Room of the Old New Orleans.
Her name is Mary Sullivan and
she is that Irish. She also is a
fugitive at the moment from
movie starletdom and the NOV
ies are crazy not to have made
better use of her when they had
the chance. She's peaches-and-
cream and red hair and the
camera that wouldn't delight in
the sight Of her Is daft. She
also has a lyrical voice and can

Ohio City Employs
Acting Manager Of
Montgomery County

Montgomery County's head
ache over its county manager
situation grew worse yesterday.
with disclosure that Acting Man
ager Jeptha j. Carroll will leave
the county on June /.
Mr.. Carroll has accepted a
city managers post in Xenia,
Ohio. He has been considering
leaving for several months.

captain became acting manager
three weeks ago. when County
Manager E. T. Beall was granted
a leave, to clarity an auditors
report. which named him and
others in six findings for recov-
cry Of $2.458 in shortages in
accounts of the Portsmouth
(Ohio) General Hospital while
he was city manager there.
Within a week. Mr.. Carrell
had to prepare a tentative pro-
posal for capital expenditures
for the next fiscal year. That
job, mainly completion of work
begun by Mr.. Beall. was ready
on time.
Now Mr.. Carroll is working on
the entire capital and expense
budget, which must be in the
councils hands not later than
May Is.
In a statement yesterday. Mr..
Carrell said he has greatly en-
joyed working for Montgomery
County and "does not like to
leave the county in the present
difficult situation"
But the offer is an attractive
one in a most attractive city.
and I do not feel I can turn
it down." he added.
Mr.. Carrell had applied for
the Xenia post long before the
Portsmouth audit report was
made public and Mr.. Beall was
granted leave.
MIR. Carroll came to the county
in August. 1852, as administra-
tive assistant to the director of
public works. Five months
later, he became clerk to the
council and, a little later, assist
ant to the county manager.
Mr.. Carrell is married and has
two children. He lives at 205
Adclare road, Rockville.
