Newspaper Page TextProgram of Camp Fire Girls for Next Year To Emphasize Future Editor's not: This ii anoth er In series of articles con cerning agencies which a r MrTid by contributions to tha United Medford Cruiade. When school bells rang and classroom doors opened, Carr.p Fire Girls in Rogue valley and in more than 3,000 other com munities across the country com pleted a fun-fiiled summer at camp to begin the year's Camp Fire program. Keyed to the theme, "Togeth er We Make Tomorrow," the program for the next 12 months will emphasize ways in which Camp Fire Girls can blueprint their futures by preparing for them today. Program Continuation This is a continuation of the basic Camp Fire program as first developed in 1910, the year in which the organization was foundfd by Dr. and Mrs. Luth er Halsey Gulick and other lead ing educators. In keeping w'ith year's theme, the spotlight will be focused on helping girls to chart their fu tures through learning to know themselves, selecting their goals in life and working toward ach ieving them. Camp Fire officials believe that if girls are to live up to the motto, "Give Service," they should learn to understand them selves and to work and play harmoniously with others. In the coming months. Camp Fire Girls not only will learn new crafts and skills but as their knowledge and self-growth in creases, they will expand their service projects. Ready. Willing Wherever there Is a job to be done, Camp Fire Girls in Med ford will be ready and willing to lend a hand In carrying out the theme, "To gether We Make Tomorrow, Camp Fire Girls will take a look at the past as well as the future Blue Birds, seven-to-ten-year old members, will dress dolls in costumes of famous women in each generation including the present and send out hand-dec orated invitations to a doll test ival at which their creations will be displayed.

Armstrong tells about his misery and triumphs In an auto biography he called "Gloves, Glory and God." Hit mother was a full-blood ed Iroquois Indian. His daddy was a mixture of Indian, Irish and Negro a Mississippi share cropper, "one of the millions once driven mercilessly by the cruel and jealous despot, king cotton." Learned To Fight The brown-skinned Henry was small. So it was natural that if he hankered to survive in back alley brawls, he had to learn to take care of himself. Big boys pick on little boys, but he learned how to fight back. After his family moved to St. Louis ha developed his wind and strength by running many, many blocks to school and back, and by fighting for life against kids much bigger than he. He had a few amateur fights and finally, with his first hand ler, decided to hobo to the West Coast. There came a few club fights, but it was a long time before our Henry could afford to live on much more than pea nuts. Then, all of a sudden he began to click. First thing anybody knew, he was whirlwinding his way Pet Skunk Returned But It Was Wrong One Spokane, Wash. U.P.) Roy A. Johnson lost his pet skunk A motorist found a skunk with its head caught in a fruit jar and. having heard of advertise ments about the lost Johnson pet, took It to Johnson's home. Johnson wasn't there. The mo torist delivered the skunk to a neighbor's house, where a veter inarian removed the jar and the neighbor placed the animal in a cage in her kitchen. Johnson returned home and went next door to pick up his skunk. It wasn't the right one. The kindly neighbor was hard at work trying to deodorize her kitchen. There were 56 million Idle acres on the occupied farms of the United States as of April in 1940.

Petey Sarron, the National Boxing Association feather weight champ, was matched with him, for the title. It took several rounds with Armstrong winding up cleaning Petey s plow good. Title one. With a "crown" but very little money, he started to look around for other titles. His next chance came in a title bout with tough Barney Ross, then holder of the welter crown. It was the first time a featherweight was allowed to challenge the welterweight champ. Henry had been fighting at 126 Ross at 147. The law said Armstrong had to make 138 pounds at weighin, which meant another 12 pounds. Eddie Mead, his manager, told him how. He made the boy drink gallons of beer to "build up the appetite." Wins Third Tills Well, Henry made the weight and took away the Ross crown. He gave lightweight champion Lou Ambers, more near his size. the same treatment later for title number three. Then came the limousines and the fancy duds he had dreamed of while in rags as a barefoot kid. Money rolled in, and by the time he retired he had a bundle of long green that went into Six figures. All tied in paid-up nuities. Then a spell of living high on the pork. Cars, yachts, booze. At length he was out of limousines and yachts and worse down to his last car token. He decided to get off the trail that leads only down and "get in the corner of the Lord." He went into the ministry. One of his main interests now is the operation of the Henry Arm strong Foundation, a non-profit venture calculated to help kids like himself. All races, creeds and colors, naturally. And who is veep of the foundation? Bar ney Ross!
