Since March 17, 1910. when Camp Fire was founded by Dr. and Mrs. Luther Halsey Gulick and other distinguished educators, the organization has helped over 4.000,000 girls to become better homemakcrs and citizens. This vear Camp Fire Girls, Inc., has carried on its proud tradition with a national pro gram keyed to the theme, ro oether We Make Tomorrow, ac cording to Mrs. Harold H. Hart man, president. Birthday Week, March 17-24, will climax a year of growth and achievement in which girls are joining with adults to build a better world, h declared. Camp Fire pro vides a eisure-time program of enjoyable and character-build- ing acuviues iur an -gins be tween the ages of seven and eighteen. In keeping with this year's theme, "Together We Make io morrow," Camp Fire Girls began by learning to know themselves their personalities their kills and abilities and next by directing their energies to ward larger goals of self-develop ment and service, Mrs. Hariman said. The results, she explained, cannot be measured with a slide rule nor by statistics. Neither character and personality de velopment nor increased skills which are reflected in growing self-assurance and emotional well-being can be tagged and given a number, she said. Becord LeaTea Mark "Their over-all record, how ever, has left its mark in every one of the more than 3.000 com munities in which there are Camp Fire Girls," Mrs. Hartman asserted. Wherever there is a Job to be dofte wherever there Is a need the helping hand of a Camp Fire Girl has been ex tended, she stated. Especially significant in this respect. Mrs. Hartman commented is the op portunity which Camp Fire pro vides for physically handicap ped girls to join with girls their own age In fulfilling their need "for belonging." In Camp Fire,, she explained, these girls are considered "exceptional chil dren," for each and every one of them has a talent or ability, which they can and do share with others. Across the country, she de clared. Camp Fire Girls are giv ing thousands of hours of ser vice as hospital and civilian de fense aides, serving as assistant playground instructors, helping with story hours at libraries, creating and repairing toys for less fortunate children, making garments and hospital supplies, baby-sitting so that mothers can register and vote, making books and tape recordings for the blind that they might "see" again, teaching post-polio patients to swim and helping cerebral pal sied children to learn exciting new crafts. Three Age Groups Camp Fire gears its program to three age groups: Blue Birds, seven to ten; Camp Fire Girls, ten to fifteen, and Horizon club, senior high school members. Thousands of men and women volunteers are combining forces with Camp Fire Girls as they work today to build a better to morrow. Women serve as group leaders and both men and wom en serve as sponsors, commit tee and Council members. Many more adult volunteers are need ed, to enable Camp Fire to ex tend its program to the growing number of girls who are eager to enjoy the opportunities which membership provides.

Engineer Gives, Safety Tips for Flying of Kites Pullman Now is the time that all bona fide kite flyers go into action. But they should heed a word of warning. Power lines and flying kites can be a fatal combination once they get together. If kites or strings tangle with power lines, children should be warned to drop the kite string. Paul Fan ning, Washington state college Extension agricultural engineer ing specialist urges parents to teach their children the danger of flying kites near electric lines, trying to pull down any thing from these lines, or touch ing lines that have broken and are on the ground or hanging loose from their poles. Both farm and city children should understand this danger. A wet or damp kite string, or the wire sometimes used on kites is an excellent conductor of el ectricity. If the kite hits a pow- er line, the child holding the cord may be on the receiving end of a fatal charge of electric ity. "Warn your children against trying to rescue a kite that gets away and blows onto power lines, Mr. Fanning advises "They should leave it. And par ents should promptly report it to the power company or rural electric cooperative so a line man can remove it. "Also caution your children against trying to remove any thing in contact with electric lines." Never, under any cireum stances, should they touch brok en lines on the ground or hang ing from poles. These spell dan ger. Many children are killed each year from this one cause. A broken line should be re ported immediately to the near est electric company. If possible some adult should stand guard over fallen lines until the pow er can be shut off. They should also warn off anyone who may come near, Mr. Fanning advises.

In Composition Of Winning Song Salem The freshman class at Willamette university captured the victor's banner at the an nual Freshman Glee March 16 by earning 312 of a possible 360 points awards by the judges in the song competition between classes. Their entry, "In Trib ute," won them first place in the song. The frosh winners, who form ed a lamp in red-black and white were led by Ron Walker of Van couver. Bob Clark of San Mateo, Qalif., led the singing, and the music was written by Miss Sonja Peterson, Medford, and Rod BernHau, Canby. The words to their alma mater were composed by a committee consisting of Rod Bernklau, Miss Catherine Casp er, Walla Walla; Jan Hansen, Beaverton; Miss Kathy Harris, Yakima; Ralph Litchfield. New port; Miss Janet Perry, Medford; Miss Sara Pope, Niles, Cal.; Miss Sherry Rutledge, Boise, Idaho; and Lynn Wilcox, Beaverton. Second .place went to the junr iors, who had taken the winner's banner the two previous years. Their entry, "Threads of Time" was awarded 283 points and was a clock with hands that moved. Sophomores won third place and 269 points for their "A Song for You, Willamette," Their for mation was the crimson cross of Waller hall. The senior class was in fourth place with "Alma Mater" sung while students formed a graduation diploma. All bets which had been made as to the outcome of Glee were paid off on the campus Monday morning, designated "Blue Mon day." Classes were disrupted by the appearance of bathrobe clad losers, characters with green hair, and a variety of pthers whose confidence in their class proved to be unwise. The last place seniors planned and pre sented an assembly Monday morning which parodied the events of the previous Glee week, then they took a dip in the cold waters of the Mill Stream by the campus, annual outing for the losing class. Too much soaking lowers the nutritional value of vegetables. They should be washed and cooked quickly in a minimum amount of water.
