two Bedford (Oregon) mail tribune Camp Fire Girls Plan Celebration When Camp Fire Girls in Medford light the 46 candles on their birthday cake March 9th, they will be celebrating the birth of an organization that has helped over 4,000,000 girls to be come better citizens and home makers, a Camp Fire statement points out. Today, just as in 1910 when Dr. and Mrs. Luther ilsey Gulick and other lead ing educators founded the or ganization, its purpose is to pro- vide girls with an educational program that helps to build character. IMvas pointed out that Camp Fire provides "wonderful oppor tunities for growth and achieve ment" and that girls enrolled in is program serve the commun ity, the nation and the world. Attention was called to the "energetic way" in which Camp Fire Girls here tinned the tra ditional Halloween "trick or treat" into help to others. Girls n toured the neighborhoods gath ering pennies in order that chil dren in other lands might have milk. Camp Fire's current birthday project is "plant seeds reap friendship. Attention was also called to the men and women in Medford and other cities who give thir time and talents to the Camp Fire program. Throughout the q nation there are approximately 70.000 men and women who vol unteer their services to Camp Fire ar board and committee members, group leaders and . sponsors. However, it was said that many' were volunteers are needed in order that Camp Fire mar extend its program to all gii who wish to take advant age of the opportunities which membership offers. Q Because many adults claim that they are "too busy to serve," the statement mentioned a few adults who now serve Camp Fire. "One might think that Mrs. Herbert Daniels, Mrs. J. Rowen and Russel DeForest were 'too busy,' the statement continues. "Mrs. Daniels is the mother of four : children, does all of her own housework, is active in church work and is a Horizon advisor; Mrs. Rowen has three children, is a Camp Fire lead er, and also serves on the coun cil as an active member, and gives many hours to PTA and church work; Mr. DeForest is a business man with a family but is never too busy to lend a hand where it is weeded, and -js an active council member. "These Deonle and every one of our leaders and council mem bers find a challenge in the Camp Fire program. By working with the girls of our community we feel that our ideals and hopes for the future will serve a bet ter community. Rogue Council of Camp Fire Girls is a member of the Med ford United Crusade.

As We Live Y Party Kissing Games Are Unwise For Teenagers Kissing games are a popular indoor sport for young teen agers. While they may seem harmless enough on the surface, they are often the beginning of heavy petting. (Q) "My daughter recently at tended two parlies at ' which kissing games were the order of the evening. The boys and girls were 13 and 14 years old. Am I be ing an old fuddy duddy in think ing that this sort of thing is un necessary Dr. Hurlock a" sucn a party a success? The other mothers think kissing games are all right. My daughter says she doesn't care anything about the games but if everyone else plays them, she can't very well be the only one who refuses. I told her I would write and ask what you thought about this matter and each of us has promised to abide by your decision." Mrs. L. B. (A) I agree that kissing games are unnecessary to make a party for young teen-agers a success. There are more wholesome forms of entertainment, such as dancing, cards, bingo and other games of chance for which small prizes are offered, and group singing. On the other hand, I agree with your daughter that she cannot go to a party and be the it Wednesday. March 7, 133S League , To Quiz Candidates Portland Questions to be asked canidates for the office of governor, secretary of state, treasurer, attorney-general, state senators and representatives were discussed and approved at a state board meeting of "the League of Women Voters of Ore gon in Portland last Saturday. Mrs. Bernard J. Shaffer, state voters service chairman, Beaver ton, presented the questions and stated that questionnaires would be mailed to all candidates for state offices soon after the close of filing onfMarch 9. Candidates for state representatives and sen ators will be interviewed by local leagues. Candidates for the U. S. Senate and House of Rep resentatives in the four congres sional districts in Oregon will also receive questionnaires from the state league office. When the candidates return the ques tionnaires, the answers are com piled and forwarded to all of the local leagues in the state for use in their local "Know Your Can didates" paper. Delegates to the national convention of the League of Women Voters of the United States to be held April 30 through May 4 at the Hotel Sher man, Chicago, will be Mrs. Ron ald K. Campbell, Corvallis, state president, and Mrs. K. E. Mont gomery, Eugene, first vice-president. Alternate is Mrs. Robert J. Wiener, Portland, second vice president. Program for the bien nium 1956-58 will be voted upon at this convention. Proposed program items are "Conservation of Water Resources" and Evaluation of the federal loyalty- security pro grams, recognizing the need for safeguarding national security and " protecting individual lib erties." Other program items may be proposed from the floor if proper notification of the intent to do so is given to. the national league board. The state organization com mittee reported favorably on investigations made in The Dalles and Springfield and the committee will go ahead with the preliminary organization work necessary in these two cities before a provisional league may be established. The provisional league in Os wego was recommended to the national league board for local league status. The state board of the League accepted .with regret the resigna tion of Mrs. Jerome L. Holzman, Portland, as she is planning td become an active political party worker. The non-partisan policy of the league does not permit board members to actively sup port candidates' during their term of office although it urges all other members to be active in the party of their choice. Plans for the state -League council meeting to be held at the Ocean House in Gearhart May 14, 15, and 16 were discussed and a committee to plan a pro gram for the meeting was appointed. Serving on the pro gram committee' are Mrs. Carl Ott, Forest Grove, Mrs. J. Rich ard Nokes, Portland, and Mrs. Robert J. Wiener, Portland. The Beaverton league will act as hostess league for the council meeting. To Meet Tonight Gold Hill Amethyst Rebek ah lodge will meet tonight at 8 o'clock in IOOF hall. Mrs. Paul Molloy will take charge of the program. ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. only one to refuse to enter into the entertainment provided by the hostess. It would be a great pity to deprive her of the fun of attending the parties her friends give. I suggest you bring up the question of kissing games at the next PTA meeting and set forth your views about the matter. Then let the other mothers and teachers state their side of the question. It is always good to discuss it in public. Boys Get Idea Kissing games gives boys the idea that girls are "easy marks" for petting in private. If a girl at 13 or 14 years of age, is will ing to engage in kissing games, a year or two later when she dates a boy alone, he will expect her to engage in petting, some of which may go so far that the girl will not know how to check it. Then too, kissing games en courage young people to dwell too much on sex. While it is true they are interested in sex at this age and curious to know what the lure of sex is, sanctioning expressions of it in public gives boys a "go ahead" signal which makes things difficult for young girls to handle.

YOUR" CHARGE ACCOUNT INVITED Main and Hospital Director Disputes Fact of Nurses Shortage Chicago 0J.R) A hospital director and his assistant dis pute that there is an actual shortage of registered nurses. "It has not been proved that there is an actual national short age of graduate nurses if the nurses were limited to actual nursing duties," said Dr. Albert W. Snoke and Richard B. Og rean. Snoke, director of the Grace New Haven Community hospi tal of New Haven, Conn., and Ogrean, assistant director, made the statement in an article in Hospitals, journal of the Amer ican Hospital association. They said there should be- more efficient use of profession al nurses, re-evaluation of the patient's nursing needs, and greater utilization of practical nurses, students and aides. "Responsibilities for clerical, housekeeping, dietary and ad ministrative activities should be taken from the nurse and given to other hospital personnel," they said. "We believe that uneconomi cal and inefficient use of grad uate nurses in non-nursing ac tivities can be demonstrated in every hospital in this country including our town." .
