Japanese Find Jars Said 10,000 Years Old, Chiba, Japan-UPD-Japanese archeologists reported today the finding of eight ancient earthen jars they said may be the oldest in the world. Scholars of Tokyo and Meiji universities said the jars may be more than 10,000 years old. They planned chem ical tests to confirm their esti mates. The oldest known earthen ware discovered so far is "re ported to be a 7,000-year-old find in Egypt. . ' in the conservation of the country's natural resources. This is the beginning of the Golden Jubilee Project, cele brating the 50th anniversary of the founding of Campfire. The Campfire program com bines fun and friendship with constructive, character - build ing activities. It is varied to meet the needs of girls in three age groups. Blue Birds Blue Birds, the seven-to-10 year old members, play games, participate-in group activities,, and responsibilities that are especially suited to their age and taste. Campfire-Girls, the 10-to-15 year olds, give expression to their individual interests and talents through a program based on the seven crafts: homemaking, creative arts, outdoors, frontiers, sports and games, and citizenship. Horizon club members, girls who are 15 to 18 years old or in high school, take a further step in preparing for their future roles as home- makers, career women, and responsible citizens through a lively program of service proj ects, vocational explorations, and social events. Campfire Slogan The slogan of the Campfire Girls is "give service," and they are willing to help wherever needed. Their law, which is a guide to their daily living is: worship God, seek beauty, give service, pursue knowledge, be trustworthy, hold onto health, glorify work, be happy. The four ranks of Camp fire are trail seeker, wood gatherer, fire maker, and torch bearer. Colored beads, symbolic of the individual crafts, are earned by girls and worn on costumes. Their watchword is "Wohelo", com posed of the first two letters of the words work, health, love. The crossed logs and flame, the insigne, symbolize the hearth of the home and the campfire of the out-of-doors. Pioneer in Field Campfire Girls was a pio neer in the field of camping. Group camping, day camping, and resident camping are in tegral parts of the Campfire program. Aquatic and land sports, camping skills, hand crafts, nature lore, music, and dramatics are among the many activities offered in the camping .program. Campfire Girls need more volunteers if their education al and recreational program is to be extended to the many more girls who want it. In terested people who enjoy youth leadership . and the satisfaction of knowing they are contributing to the physi cal, spiritual, and , mental growth of young girls qualify as leaders. Training courses, as well as program and lead ership books are available to all volunteers. Campfire leaders and guardians find there is no better way to stay young and broaden their own fields of interest or learn new skills than by helping with the Campfire program. Campfire 'Dads' Campfire "dads" get a spe cial thrill out of sharing their know-how in sports and games with their daughters, and to renew skills they haven't had chance to display in years. Each has an interest in help ing today's young girls de velop into skilled, responsible citizens of tomorrow. The Rogue Campfire Girls Council is a participating agency of the United Medford Crusade and the Ashland-Tal- ent United Fund. It is made up of all the registered adult members men and women who work in the Campfire program. It is governed by a board of directors who meet once a month to promote, sup ervise, and administer the pro gram and business of Camp- fire Girls, Inc. Anv girl who wishes to join Campfire or any adult who desires to take an active part in the council is invited to call the Campfire office, SPring 3-5679. Butler, Alcorn Debate; Shout on Integration Hem Chicago - (UPD - Democratic National Park Chairman Paul Butler and his Republican counterpart, Meade Alcorn, debated good-naturedly for more than two hours Thurs day night, then erupted into a shouting match on the ques tion of integration. Alcorn and Butler covered a wide range of subjects in their appearance before a din ner meeting of the Radio-Television News Directors associa tion, trading quips much of the time. , ' Butler termed the integra tion controversy the nation's "great domestic crisis" and predicted it would "probably lead to a third party move ment in the South" among Democrats by 1960. "This is because the Demo cratic Party as a whole will not tolerate the Faubus (Ark ansas Gov. Orval E. Faubus) kind of un-American atti tude,' Butler said. Angry Argument Butler touched off the an gry argument over integration when he quoted Lee Potter, chairman of the Virginia State Republican Committee and aide to Alcorn, as saying "our party is for segregation Alcorn interrupted to say Potter was speaking for the Virginia GOP party and not the party's national position. The GOP chairman went on to ask: "If your party is so much for civil rights, Mr. Butler, when are you going to re pudiate Faubus of Arkansas, Almond of Virginia and East land, Sparkman and Byrd? "And when you do that, how many members of the Senate are going to be left to listen to you?" Butler countered by saying he would "repudiate the gen tlemen you named as soon as you repudiate the five South ern Republican Congressmen who signed the Southern Manifesto of 1957, protesting the Supreme Court decision outlawing school segregation."

(UPD Rescue workers fought 40 be low zero" cold Thursday to reach the side of a giant U.S. Air Force Globemaster trans port plane that crashed in the Antarctic wastes. Six of the 13 men on board were killed and "several" of the seven surviv ors were reported critically injured. The plane crashed early to day as it was attempting a supply air drop to a U. S.-New Zealand base at Camp Hallett. In the crash, a load of lum ber on board apparently shift ed position on impact and smashed into the men on the cargo deck of the big C124. Emergency SOS signals were sent out automatically by a battery-powered radio on the wrecked plane, and air and overland rescue efforts started at once. Three weasels, with medical assistance and supplies, start ed out from Camp Hellett for the crash scene, 30 miles to the north. But en route one of the weasels tumbled into a crevass and the other two tracked vehicles were slowed down to two miles an hour by rough country. Bitter cold also hampered the rescue ef forts. - !
