AN O LD nyloa parachute becomes a fine playtime
device
for this
group of girls at the G irl Scout s
Homestead Camp
H om estead Camp reveals w onders
Wonders.” Under that theme the girls
have planted trees, learned about the
forest and visited Rhododendron resident
Charlie Lake and his collection of goats,
birds and llamas
Other goals include fostering safe woods
behavior, developing originality, en
couraging group participation and helping
the campers grow in understanding of
themselves and other campers or staff
members
One of the week's highlights was a visit
by a contingent from the Zigzag Ranger
Station led by Shelley Butler They
brought
them
an authentic
Indian
teepee, and held sessions for the campers
with old Indian folk tales. Indian food and
a narrative of the Indians' relation with
nature and the forest
“ That was really an unforgettable ex
perience.'' said EUiott of the glimpse of the
area's ancient lore
Something the youngsters especially
enjoyed was an Indian game played with a
genuine deerhide ball
The campers seem nearly unanimous in
their enjoyment of The Homestead
Trudy Brown said for her the camp was
a place to "learn crafts, make good friends
with other people and learn how to
cooperate ”
‘ Superfun “ That's what it is.
So says Trudy Brown of her week spent
this month at the Columbia River G irl
Scout Council's Homestead Day Camp, a
yearly event in a secluded spot in the
woods near Rhododendron
The camp, in operation now for about 10
years, gives girls ages 6 to 13 experience in
outdoor skills and handcrafts as well as
providing tim e for games and sing a longs
Each weekly session ends with an
overnight stay at The Homestead, with
parents helping out as chaperones

Trudy has been a Homesteader for six
years— testimony enough to the camp's
popularity.
Teresa Hower, a Welches sixth grader,
cites “ lots of friends“ as being a big at
traction. Picking berries with a container
made of tree bark was a favorite as well.
The camp buildings, hidden among the
trees a few hundred yards off Highway 36.
originally belonged to W.J. Creighton, a
general contractor Although he and his
wife had no children of their own. Mrs
Creighton worked for years in the Welches
School District. When her husband died the
property was willed to the Columbia River
G irl Scouts
Now. the grounds teem with girls
playing games, laughing, working on
crafts and singing
One little girl, who had early reser
vations about the overnight stay, an
nounced to her mother her new intention to
stay until the next day.
But I thought you wanted to come home,
said Mom
“ Nope, I've changed my m ind." said the
youngster,
The Homestead had another convert
From the looks of it she wasn’t the first
and certainly w ill not be the last

“ A tuning device in the

contact," said D.C. Church,
animal nutritionist. “ There is a

stays open as long as the

was developed m England
about four years ago Each
gate coats about 3300 plus in
stallation. works on 32 volts and
is relatively damage free.
There has been no problem of
injury to animals
Church uses the feeding gates
in nutrition experiments.
"W e have just completed
palatability trials with three
frozen ryegrass species and are
evaluating the effect of sup
plementary protein on con
sumption of ryegrass straw ,”
Church said.
“ We are about to start a new
feeding experiment with cattle
to test the palatability of hair
meal, mostly hair of hogs which
is 30 per cent protein. ’*
Soon
Church
and
his
colleagues
also
w ill
be
evaluating the dried bacterial
sludge from pulp m ill effluents
"W e are excited about the
possibilities because 20 mills in
Oregon and Washington each
produce about 13 tons of the
sludge daily and when dried it
is about 45 per cent protein,"
Church said
The electronic gate helps
because It is easy to record the
intake of animals since the
neck device can be adjusted so
each anim al can eat from only
one trough or all Or only
certain animals wearing the
necklace can have access to
special feeds
The cows learn to operate
their new equipment quickly
" It only takes about two days
to train them, even fresh from
the range,” said Cliff Larkin,
herdsman "T he animals eat
frequently — 10 to IS times a
day — but not much at a tim e."
