In delicate cera mic, so perfectly wrought that they'd almost fool a honeybee they adorn a number of graceful trifles. There's a high heeled china slipper, embellished with a single perfect ap ple blossom. There's a footed comport for can dies ... an oval flower bowl a cigarette set . . . Nice for springtime gifts or party prizes. We have a new flexible rubber scraper, slim and long handled, that will pay for itself many times over. It will scoop out the last bit of mayonnaise, jelly, relish, or whatever, from small-mouthed con tainers. And at today's prices, even small dabs of food soon count up.

Kiwanian Dames Present Large Sum to Girl Scouts Kiwanian Dames of Medford held the annual Girl Scout lunch eon Tuesday noon at the Medford hotel, and during the event pre sented S600 to Mrs. Marjorie Hopkins for the Girl Scout building fund. The luncheon was held at the Medford hotel. In accepting the money, Mrs. Hopkins stated that it would be used to complete the new in firmary . started at Low Echo, established camp, last year. In lieu of the usual check, Mrs. Hopkins was presented 600 sil ver dollars which were stacked on the speakers' table. A review of past year's con tributions from the group to the- scouts was made by Mrs. Hop kins showing that more than $2,000 has been given to the scouts. The project was started in 1936, when $24 was given for camperships. For 10 years the club confined its gifts to sums ranging from $35 to $50 and these were used each year for the camperships. When Girl Scouts established Camp Low Echo, Kiwanian Dames began to give increased sums for use in building. In 1947 a gift of $100 was used to purchase two day rooms at Camp White which were dis mantled and used for buildings at Low Echo. A gift of $205 in 1948 was used to purchase two boats for Low Echo, and in 1949 $300 was added to the fund with which the fireplace in the north end of the lodge was constructed. In 1950 the gift increased to $400 and with this the fire pace was completed, some shower 'equipment was pur chased and a canoe was added to the waterfront equipment. The sum of $350 was given to the scout camp in 1951 and with this material for a new dock was purchased and plumb ing installed in the temporary Our New "HOME SHOPPING SERVICE' Tr.uly as Near as Your Telephone ....

This building is now used for the caretaker and work crews. The new infirmary start ed last summer was begun with lumber given by Grants Pass firms, Mrs. Hopkins said. Addi tional lumber is needed, flooring for the building must be pur chased and. equipment installed, Mrs. Hopkins added, saying that the project might take two or three years to complete. Mrs. Hopkins explained that the money donated by Kiwanian Dames each summer is the only fund the camp committee has for equipment and building. She stated that it had been expect ed that the annual Girl Scout cookie sale profits could be added to the building fund, but that since the Community Chest drive had fallen short of the quota, the cookie funds must now be applied to the operating budget: Low Echo is now operat ed for five weeks each summer and 100 girls can be accommo dated each week.
