Kiwanian Dames Present
Checkfor Girl Scout Camp
Rogue Valley area, Girl
Scouts, received a check for
S300 from Medford Kiwanian
Dames at a luncheon meeting
Tuesday at Girls Community
club. Mrs. Edward P. Bar
nett, president of the club,
presented the check to Miss
Ruth Kilbourne, executive ;
secretary of the Girl Scouts.
Kiwanian Dames' gifts to
the Scouts has totaled S6.200
since the aid was started sev
eral years ago. When the
project first began, it was
limited to a $25 campship.
Later money was provided
for salaries of counselors at
the established camp, Low
Echo, at Lake of the Woods.
In more recent years the
funds . have helped to buy
boats, a canoe, have been
used to improve the water
front at the camp, to provide
shower facilities, dishes and
tableware. The money was
applied one year on a refrig
eration unit and another year
on a fireplace.
Kiwanian Dames have help
ed complete the infirmary
building at Camp Low Echo,
and assisted with remodeling
of the kitchen. Miss Kil
bourne, stated that this year
the money will be used to
help buy two new aluminum
row boats, and an inter-com
munication system between
the various camp units. This
will be particularly valuable
in time of emergencies, she
stated, since the units are
considerable distance apart.
Since the sum has reached
as high as $500 or more in
the past, it was explained that
money raised by Kiwanian
Dames last spring was given
to Medford Kiwanis club to
aid the club's dental clinic.
Miss Kilbourne invited the
members to attend open
