MAIL TRIBUNE. nmnm. WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1943,
REGISTRATION FOR
GIRL SCOUT CAMP
DUE BY JULY 15TH
Lake O'Woods Program Of
fers Swimming, Rowing,
Canoeing, Handicrafts.
There will be Cirl Scout
lumraer camp at Lake O' Woods
again this year, beginning Aug
ust 10, for a two-weeks period
"We now know that camp life,
be it but for two weeks, gives
boy and f irli a training in self
reliance, utilization of skills,
love of nature and the outdoor!
that no other institution in
American life so adequately pro
vides." says Manpower Commis
sioner Paul V. McNutt, and with
this thought In mind the local
Girl Scout Council has made ev
ery effort to provide the girls
of Medford between 7 and IS
with a summer camp program.
At the end of the day camp
ing It was discovered that the
girls still wanted a real camp
ing experience entirely away
from ordinary life.
Because of the demands on
adults and Die older girls to
work In harvesting the crops,
the camp will be limited. Sixty
girls will be accepted each week,
a camper may stay both weeks
If she registers for both before
July IS. No girl under 10 years
of age will be accepted. Age of
the campers will probably range
from 10 to 18 and it Is felt that
most of these girls may help in
a small way by picking berries
or doing odd jobs in order to
earn money to go to camp. The
fee will be f 10 a week, which
covers from Tuesday at dinner
until the following Tuesday at
lunch.
Travel by Bus
Transportation Is available by
Rogue River Transit bus which
will be $1.50 round trip or (1
one way. In order to lessen strain
on the bus system over the week
end the camp week will start on
Tuesday instead of Sunday. The
bus will leave the Cirl Scout of
fice August 10 and August IT
at 8:30 a. m.
The camp site offers an abun
dance of activity for the girls
Lake O Woods is four miles In
length and provides campers per
fect swimming, rowing, canoeing
and sailing. Waterfront activ
ities will be In charge of Miss
Judith Bailey, now acting as wa-
terfront director for the Boy
Scouts. Beside waterfront activ
ities there will be horseback
riding, archery, hikes and ail
types of handicraft will be of
fered.
Food Is one of the most Impor
tant Items In camping; this year
it should be better than ever, as
Mrs. Wilson Walt of the Junior
high school has prepared . all
menus and Mrs. F. O. Helms of
Ashland has been secured as

TO HOME CANNERS
The Glass Top Seal Fruit Jar Cap for Horns Canning was developed
as a Wartime product to conserve metal. It consists of a Metal Band.
Glass Lid and Rubber Ring.
Because of the difference !n the nature of these three materials this
Cap must be used differently from any other fruit jar cap. If used properly
it will give excellent results. If not
used properly, results will be bad, in
cluding failure to seal and break of
jars. Following are simple instructions
for use of the Glass Top Seal Cap and
must be followed carefully.
