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.

three world titles at the same
time.
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!
