Medford Scout Attends Tennessee Encampment Girl Scouts who attend the All - State encampments throughout the United States this summer will find the ex perience extremely interest ing and informative, but also work hard. This is the reac tion of Sharon Chipman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Har ry Chipman, 1808 Roxy Ann place, who recently returned home after attending the first of the encampments, this one having been held in Elizabeth ton, Tenn. Miss Chipman was the only Girl Scout chosen from the Rogue Valley council to at- tend the encampment in i Ten- hut others will attend those to be held later this summer. Scouts must apply if they wish to attend an en campment, and qualifications . must meet nign sianaaras. The applicants present writ . ten material, and then are tested on their camping skills. - Sharon and other applicants f spent a day at Tomlin For- est, Girl Scout day camp for - this area, during which their .. knowledge and skills were tested. Of the encampment Miss Chipman wrote: Why Camp? On June 20, 100 girls from ' all over the United States met at Camp Sky-Wa-Mo, near Elizabethton, Tenn., for a Girl Scout All - States en campment. The purpose was ' to learn more, in certain fields of scouting, and to take - back what was learned to . scouts of the home councils. Some of the projects were preparing leaders for the out-of-doors, primitive camping, wild life sanctuary, day camp- - ing and why camp? I worked with the project of "why camp?" which is informing the public about the impor- . tance of camping. We were instructed for eight days in the different public relations onrf hnw to use them '. informing the public about camping. We then conducted a work- v,nr in which we taught 20 Girl Scouts of the Tennessee area what we had learned. " Two girls teamed to present different phases of me wuik shop. My part had to do with ' the introduction to public re lations, exhibits and photo graphy. Ruin Stressed At ah . states there is one rule for everything. That, "Be Considerate." For example, if , norenn wanted to miss a meal it was alright. But, it was considerate to ten some one in order to have her ...rstrhrrt off the meal count. This rule worked out ' vcrv well. Th last nicht was one to remember. Before the last campfire each person took a " small tree limb and carved tho rnd. her name, cuy and state. These fagots were placed in the lire mai - i ...mi nt one end. When the campfire was over each person had a different fagot to take back home with her : ..J., in hrine a part of All-States to her council. My fagot will be burnea ei ,V.,tir !

After Heim opened the fall-winter Paris fashion shows Monday, a cross-section of merchandising experts from New York indicated al most complete indifference. The experts conceded that the new heavy tweed walk ing suits and knee-high boots that are blossoming all over Paris qould stand a skirt about an inch or two lower than usual. But otherwise, the buyers said, they have no intention of stocking department stores this fall with longer skirts that will force a worldwide wardrobe overhaul. Disapprove "I didn't like the long Heim skirts. Women never will wear them, not this year, anyway." commented one New York fabric manufac turer at a party given by the Dior Salon for designer Marc Bohan Monday night. The head of a leading New York department store, how ever, confessed that the real reason the long skirts will not be adopted by stores is not consideration of women, but the fact that Heim is "not a pacesetter." "Balenciaga, G I v e n c hy, Dior and, to some extent, Yves St. Laurent set the style," he explained. In other words, women's legs are not out of the woods until the Givenchy-Balencia-aga-Dior votes are in within the week. But if Heim's long skirts are thumbed down, the "cov ered leg" and tweedy look ap peared here to stay, possibly because Balenciaga intro duced it with knee-high suede boots last winter. This is MEDFORD Skirt Trend Heim, Jacques Esterel and Louis Feraud all showed knee-high leg coverings Mon day. Heim's were in ocelot, zebra and other furs or fake furs, and flat heeled. He showed them with mid-calf narrow tweed skirts topped with waist-length loose jack ets. His full-skirted and belt ed tweed coats with fur edged hoods were accompa nied by ankle-high bootlets in matching tweeds. Feraud's eye-opener was a red and blue tweed coat with a collar and half-lining of fuzzy Mongolian goat fur dyed red. The mannequin wore shiny red knee-high boots.
