The aim of each Blue Bird
and Camp Fire Girls is to bring
at least one new girl into her
group and make full use of the
Camp Fire slogan which is "Be
Friendly Make Friends Join
the Camp Fire Girls."
Blue Birds are the little girls
from seven to ten or second
through fourth grades. They
have a special program designed
for them known as "creative
play." Their costumes are navy
blue skirts, white blouses, red
suspenders and a navy blue
skirls, white blouses, red sus
penders and a navy blue peaked
cap complete with blue birds.
Camp Fire Girls wear their
service costumes with pride and
keep their white blouses spot
lessly clean and starched. Navy
blue skirts, red ties and a navy
blue beanie with the crossed
logs and flame insignia com
plete with costume. Their pro
gram is especially designed to
lead them towards the role that
they must play in later life as a
combination wife, mother and
career woman.
With the formation of new
groups, a great demand for new
leaders is expected. Camp Fire
groups are purposely kept small
in order that the girls and lead
er will receive as much enjoy
ment as possible. In the next
few weeks it is expected that
the demand for leaders will be
twice as great as the number
now being trained.
Women need not be experi
enced, it is pointed out. An en
joyment of girls and a willing
ness to learn the primary re
quirements of a good leader ac
cording to Mrs. Ruth Gerety.
executive director. Interested
women are asked to call the
Camp Fire office, 3-5679. Train
ing sessions are now being
planned in order that it may be
completed before the actual
group experience begins, Mrs.
Gerety states. However, leaders ,
and girls learn together in the !
program, it is stressed.
Rogue council, Camp Fire
Girls, is a member of the United .

Republican
Luncheon
About 140 women attended
the September luncheon meet
ing of Jackson County Republi
can Women yesterday, over
flowing the rooms, terrace and
gardens of the home of Mr. and
Mrs. E. A. Littrell on Greenway
circle. Because of the large num
ber present, three groups were
arranged and speakers repeated
their talks before each.
Substituting for Mrs. Frank
Bash. Mr. Littrell spoke on
Proposition No. 1 to be on the
ballot for the general election.
He urged his listeners to vote
for this measure, which would
enable the legislature to put an
emergncy clause on tax bills. He
pointed out that under the pres
ent system, almost all tax legis
lation is referred to the voters
and this delays collection of
money needed by the state. Only
20,000 signatures are required to
refer a bill to the voters, the
speaker added.
Mr. Littrell said that essential
ly this bill would "open the
door" to revise the entire tax
structure of Oregon, which has
been needed for some time, and
would permit legislators to
broaden the tax base in the
state. Many questions, many con
cerning a sales tax, followed the
talk.
Mr. Littrell, who served in
the House of Representatives the
last session of the Oregon legis
lature, is a candidate for re
election. Mrs. M. A. Altobello spoke on
"Why Vote Republican." Mrs.
Altobello, a new precinct com
mitteewoman for the Republi
can party, said she had found
while "ringing doorbells" that
many citizens "don't know the
issues." "If they learn about the
issues, and think about them,
they'll vote Republican," she
added.
Mrs. Altobello said the Demo
cratic party "is too close to so
calism" and that discussion of
issues which had arisen as she
went about her work as a pre
c i n c t committcewoman had
strengthened her belief that she
was in the right party.
The speaker closed by saying
she found "a terrible apathy in
my precinct" about the election
and voting.
Third speaker was Miss
Jacque Colton who was a dele
gate to Girls' State last Summer
and who had been sponsored by
the Republican women. She de
scribed the operation of Girls'
State and told how during a
mock election the grils had de
feated the sales tax, the vote
for 18-year-olds and a "compli
cated bill" which outlined re
vised adoption procedures need
ed in Oregon.
Next meeting of the group will
be Wednesday, October 17, and
will be held in the Jackson
hotel.

NEW
MOTHERS
Even the slightest harshness in
your baby's next-toskin gar
ments may cause irritation of
the sensitive skin and even lead
to rash. That's why hospital
nurseries guard against such
trouble by washing baby gar
ments in real soap only the
kind made famous in the West
by White King. No other type
of washday product can match
White King Soap in getting
baby clothes safely soft and
hospital clean. Guard your own
infant's skin by washing dia
pers, nighties and bed cloth
ing in gentle White King Soap.
