Swim Show Held Br BETTY BROWN Swimming has been a high light in the Girl Scout Low Echo camp program this summer. Ac cording to the director. Miss Irene Knox more campers have achieved swimmers' badges and Red Cross requirements than in other years. The warm weather which made the valley residents pers pire, turned our water front into the most popular spot in camp. A special swimming show, or ganized by Dolores Schleichert and Charlotte Means of Eugene, Ore., and Jackiei Callan of Med ford, has highlighted each Sun day afternoon. Some of the ev ents are characterized by com edy, such as reading a newspaper while doing a flutter kick through the water, and carry ing an orange on a spoon while swimming. Teams competed to win a greased watermelon which slithered through the water in a most uncanny fashion. On the serious side, a demonstration of the correct use and care of can oes was given by the Program Aides. Boating, directed by Jackie Callan, has given many campers pleasure and experience. Pitt View, the unit of older girls, took a "pirate's cruise" in row boats around Lake O' the Woods and had an "overnight" at As pen Point. The program aides held an "overnight" at Base camp, and then went up Mt. Pitt the following morning. The last session of camp these girls are planning a pack trip of sev eral days length out of camp. This will be a real treat, be cause these are the girls who do a part of the kitchen work be fore and after each meal in re turn for a reduced camping fee. Once out of camp, the only pots and pans they will have to wash will be their own. Young campers have been en tertained by shorter hikes out side of camp and trips to the old favorite camping ground, Rob ins' Nest. Now that the weather is cooler, the mosquitoes have left the Nest to the campers and the robins. We are fortunate to have with us for the rest of the summer four girls who attended the Scout Roundup in Michigan. They are Mary Friend and Kar en Johnson of Medford, and Judy Drais and Sandra Ullian of Grants Pass. Aueduji mejr nave tauguv uic camp several graces ana new songs which they learned at the roundup. A camping site, set up exactly the way they used it for 12 days, has been reconstructed at the general campfire circle. ; The program aides are always ; ready to explain its parts and i operation to the young campers of Sunnydale and Breeaway. The whole camp is looking forward to a showing of the col ored slides taken at the Round up. They are a true record of the opportunities which Scouting af fords the girl who is proficient in her camping skills. It is our hope that Low Echo is also an opportunity to be enjoyed by these 1956 campers and those to come. j CALENDAR Calendar ntUcee And new for the society section of the Mail rribune must be submitted In writing and dadlim for the Sun day edition Ls : pjn Friday Dead line for the weekly calendar is 9 a.m of the day of publication and for week day newa is 5 p-m. the day before publication.
