A spiritual note will sound the

March 13 to 20, as members of
the youth organization in the
Rogue Valley and across the na

this week end, dressed in then
official costumes.
Local clergymen are expected
to make special mention of the
country's oldest youth organiza

messages, while a number have
already cited Camp Fire for the
spiritual growth it encourages
among young people.
"It gives me great pleasure to
congratulate this fine group at
the beginning of it's Birthday
Week," the Rev. Thomas Mc
Camant, of Medford Congrega
tional Church said today.
"Camp Fire is to be commend
ed for its wholesome attitude
toward religion and the carry
over it displays in many acts of
service to the community."
The Very Rev. Father Nicho
las J. Deis of Sacred Heart
Church added another word of
praise for the more than 392,000
active Camp Fire Girls and four
million "alumnae throughout
the U.S. "We are indeed blessed
in America to have such a splen
did group serving our girls and
leading them to a deeper respect
for spiritual values and the im
portance of church attendance,"
he said.
"It is with good reason that
the Camp Fire law begins 'Wor
ship God'," Mrs. Alan Pattison,
council president pointed out.
"All races and religions are em
braced by this group and our
members learn to respect the
rights of those holding differing
beliefs, while exercising their
own freedom of worship," she
added.
Rogue Camp Fire Girls, wor
shipping together or individu
ally, will start their 1955 birth
day observance themed "Let
Freedom Ring!" by putting
