Advises Overhaul Of
Brooding Equipment

If you are finished with the
brooding of those flock replace
ment pullets for this year, now is
the time to clean and store your
brooding equipment, says Ray
Lloyd, Associate County Agent. 1t
is especially important where oil
and gas burners are used.
These -brooders do need special
attention to operate efficiently and
cleaning now will save you money
in replacement parts next spring.
Do really thorough job, urges
Mr. Lloyd Thermostats should be
taken apart, thoroughly oiled and
put back together. Oil tanks es-
pecially should receive attention;
condensation means that there is
certain amount of water that set
ties on the bottom of the ank.
The feed outlets from the tank
should be at least l to 2 inches
above the bottom of the tank to
avoid water getting into the feed
lines. Your tank should be drained
to get rid of water.
Buy replacement parts and re-
pair brOOderS before storing. They
are then ready for next season or
the next brood of chicks.
Consideration should also be
given to- cleaning and storing the
chick fountains and feed troughs,
says the agent.

unable to join us on Monday due
to a sore throat, but she more than
made up for her absence with the
sunshine she sprinkled around
camp that day.
Our recreation and work became
routine to us, and we took long
hikes, studied trees and Flora
Aften, we hiked to visit neighbor-
ing camps, and, on assignment,
were allowed to swim in the lake.
Rules stated that no person or
group may swim without the pres
ence of a qualified lifeguard. Con-
sequently, everyone was given a
seperate and certain hour in which
to swim. On one of our trips, we
visited a typical country store
nearby, and the girls found it
charming.
Meals were nourishing and tai
ent was evident in this field Tex
as Tommies, Hamburg Stew, Some
Mores, Spaghetti Sauce which took
an afternoons cooking and even a
cake for party required time, eff
fort and ingenuity, but all were
heartily devoured.
Due to the persistent rain, even
ings were mostly spent under the
roof of the tent. The radio was a
big help in passing the twilight
hours, and talk, games and pajama
parties were in order.
Camp Todd had been given some
old rusty beds by the Air Base,
and the Scouts from our troop
scraped, sanded and painted those
beds. Besides this, we did our share
of repairing tents and cleaning
and raking the grounds. There is
still a lot to be done to improve the
entire camp, and although cookie
money has been able to replace
a few of the old tents with lovely
new ones, each troop encamping
there is urged to have a part in
the general improvement of camp
conditions.
The day we painted beds was
also Sara PenuePs birthday. Doc
tor HOman took pictures, and we
baked our cake. Later on, few of
the girls went to town, pooled their
finances and bought her a small
gift. She was really a guest and
not allowed to help with the din
ner preparations or cleanup. The
occasion was honored with the cake
complete with candles Qit in the
wind) and traditional Happy
Birthday singing.
We were visited by some of the
parents while we stayed at camp.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Penuel came
early Wednesday evening, and later
on, Mr. and Mrs. Willard Hickman
arrived with their guests, Mr.. and
Mrs. William Huyler. That was a
big evening. We held a court of
honor and awards around our fire
Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1959-07-17

after dark and the following girls
received badges: Sara Penuel,
Farm Safety, Dairying, House
keeper, Horsewoman and Good
Grooming. Anne Hickman, Cook
Colleen Teare: Cyclist and Cook
Dee Rulings: Housekeeping. Kay
Maull: Garden Flower and Home
maker.
Thursday evening, after a busy
day and the aforementioned birth
day party, the girls wanted to hold
pajama party for the last night
in camp. They were given free
rein to do as they pleased until
ten o'clock curfew.
All of us were sad to have to
leave for home on Friday, and it
was after noon before we really
packed bedrolls, food, said our
goOdbyes to the wonderful staff,
cleaned our tent floors and were on
our way. We received congratula-
tons from Miss Gambler on our
ability to camp and were told we
are now ready for Pioneering"
This consists of no conveniences
except those we were able to con-
trive for ourselves. This accolade
meant a lot to us. Now we are
seasoned and assured that we have
accomplished a vital lesson in
scouting. That is, the ability to use
to the best advantage all raw ma
terials at hand, and to accept, with
optimism, the Inconvenience of
open air living. All the while, we
will be aware of the joy derived
from communing with nature,

of the equipment has been bought
entirely out of the commission re-
ceived from the sale of cookies
So, when next season rolls around
and you are asked to buy Girl
Scout Cookies remember us at
Camp Todd.
Our roll call on Monday includ-
ed the following Girl Scouts: Anne
Elizabeth Hickman, Kay Maull,
Sara Penuel, Aileen Lamorge, Dee
Rulings, Girls Homan and Frances
Welsh. We had our usual company
of young Jeffrey Homan, son of
the leader.
All members set about to build
a fireplace in safe spot which
would serve us during our entire
stay, but still be equal to any kind
of weather condition That first
dinner required a wind fire., and
while several scouts hunted stones
and building materials, others star
ted to dig the trench and embank-
ment. After this operation was COM
| plete, we started to gather. the
various types of wood we would
need, keeping in mind that we had
twelve meals to cook. The area had
been well hunted, so we were for
ced to do little exploring. When
ever, we discovered a log or stick
that could be used for utensils, we
were over joyed and acted as if we
had found gold.
One patrol was assigned to ride
to the nearest town with Mrs. Ho-
man to buy fresh meat for the even
ing meal. The other group started
the fire and prepared the remain
der of the dinner. Sara Penuel had
thOughtfully made cake for us
before packing for camp in the
morning, and. we really enjoyed
every morsel for our dessert.
Having failed to bring a Beaver
Bucket" for boiling water over the
fire, we were forced to do our din
ner cleanup in the lake, we do not
recommend this. 1t is difficult to
remove grease from mess kits and
pans with cold water. However,
with the assist of some sand and
brillO, we were able to K. P. pre-
sentably.
At dusk, our troop met with all
the other intermediate troops camp
! ing in the area. Singing, games and
general chatting took plac e
around hugh council fire in the
open field. We met other scouts
from Dover, Seaford, and Berlin,
Maryland. Lights OUT, at ten o.
clock ended our first day of
"roughing it,. DR.. Holman. who has
been practically initiated as a
Girl Scout, came over from Dover

being early risers, so, at a leisure

was less than desirable, no one
complained, and meals were fire.
quently cooked with a slight di-
luton of rain drops. Being in thick
trees helped, and we were able to
eat all our meals out of doors dur
ing our stay. Bacon and eggs take
on a. special flavor when cooked
outside over the open fire, and we
never lacked the appetite for
| breakfast.
After Doctor Holman left for Do
yer, we busily planned our days
activities. Much to our surprise
and joy, we welcomed a new arriv-

Troop No. SO, Girl Scouts of Mil
ford, under the leadership of Mrs

Monday, June Is, for a trip of four
days camping at Camp Todd, Will
iston, Md. They met at the home OF
the leader at noon, and proceeded
by way of station wagons, COM
plete with equipment, food, mos
quito repellent, and sunburn lotion
Mrs. Joseph Penuel, transportation
chairman, drove half of the group
in an auto, and assisted with the
| departure and arrival at camp.
About one o'clock, that afternoon
the girls landed at the camp site
and prepared to settle in the New
Home" for the week. Impressions
varied individually, to say the least
Our assigned area was very beauti-
full to behold. The lake was visible
through the thick grove of trees
and wild terrain. All was being
tossed and blown violently in a
wind storm unequaled to the
knowledge of the staff at Camp
Todd. Our tents were a mass OF
flying sacvas, seemingly supported
flying canvas seemingly supported
poles.
While Mrs. Holman conferred
with the Executive Director, Miss
Dorothy Gambler, and other lead
ers about rules and regulations
the troop bravely started to un-
load blanket rolls and choose tents
and tent mates.
1t was some time before we
could call our camp made. Lunch
was eaten, if one was lucky enough
to hold it in one place long. There
was6not much we could do to Sc
cure our lodgings until the wind
abated, but some girls were able
to drive few more stakes in the
ground and tie some of our useful
knots. All the theory we had learn
ed during scout meetings last win
ter was tested and placed to good
advantage. We had the convent
ences of fresh water pipe, and an
outdoor bathroom, the cleaning OF
which became our daily chore. That
was all. Still, the enthusiasm and
high spirits of adventure prevailed
and continued throughout the trip
