FOR WOMEN ONLY

Many Republican women
will have politics in the
pocketbooks in days to come.
"A Handbook for Women
Workers" is now available
to State Citizens for Eisen-
hover for distribution in
each State. Mrs. Dorothy
D. Houghton, co-chairman of
National Citizens for Eisen-
hover, announces that 5000
copies of the purse-size
workbook have just been re-
ceived from the printer. To
add the feminine touch, it is
bound in pink.
The book is a practical
guide to reaching the indie
pendent voter. 1t contains
suggestions such as how to
form a local organization,
how to select leaders. the
role of volunteers and sug-
gested special activities.
In the latter suggestions
include such projects as
Eisenhower Old Fashioned
Beef Stew suppers. Coffee

Norwegian Finds Some Surprises
Camping Out u. S. A. Style

But the programs are diff
ferent."
She explained that in Nor
way they have only what we
call primitive" camping-no
established camps or day
camps. There is no such thing
as a lookout because the
children always do the cook
ing out themselves.
And there the troops, bear
ing all necessary equipment,
just hike until they find a
suitable place always where
there is water and some shell
ter and good wood" When
they find it I'VE ask the farmer
if he will rent the land-and
usually he lets us camp with
out charge"
Asia finds the organization
in American camps quite
amazing. She had read about
our system, "of course, but you
don't know it really before you
see it,"
And there is one trait which
she notes as outstanding in the
Girl Scouts here: "They are
so disciplined. They never say
a word without raising a
hand"
"Oh, they are so sweet. I
would never have it so easy in
a Norwegian group of chill
dren," she says.
If Miss SoraS is learning q
lot from the Maryland camp
ers under her wing, they are
learning plenty, too.
