Brownie Day Camp
Workers Honored
The women who worked at
the Brownie Day Camp were en-
tertained at a coke party Thurs-
day morning at the home of
the camp director, Mrs. R. Lee
Lillie, Riceville Road. Assisting
Mrs. Lillie was the co-director of
the camp, Mrs. Freeman F.
Gage, Jr.
Also a guest was Miss Grace
Grady of the Houston profes-
sional Girl Scout staff. Part of
the meeting was devoted to an
evaluation of the day camp.
In appreciation for the moun-
tains of work well done, a gift
of a German figurine was made
to Mrs. U. M. Harrison, on whose
property on Riceville Road the
day camp was held.
Another appreciation gift went
to Mrs. Guy H. Johnston, who
was the only woman who came
every day to care for the Pee-
Wee unit, the small children of
the camp staff members. At
times there were over 30 Pee-
Wees in her care. She was given
a necklace and earrings. Helping
Mrs. Johnston occasionally were
Judy Potter and Merrie Carol
Kahn, Senior Scouts.

Texas farmers can definitely
expect several proposals to
change the cotton support pro-
gram. One gaining favor with
cotton leaders from over the
South is for greatly increased
acreage allotment at a reduced
support price of around 62 per
cent of parity.
A summer Tween program
in full swing at the Jewish Com-
munity Center in Houston for
kids who are too old for the
children’s program and too young
for the teen age group.
The Tween program, aimed for
the 11 through 14 year olds,
features athletics, games, tour
naments, canteens, trips, skill
workshops, special interest class-
ill league play and
camping.

Girl Scouts Planning Something New;
Primitive Camping On Tap For August
Preliminary plans have been
announced for the Intermediate
Girl Scout Day Camp for Bell-
aire by the director, Mrs. Wil-
liam K. Duryea, 4805 Evergreen.
The camp u ill be '(>111(1111111: new
Cor Bellaire Girl Scouts in thit
it will be a true primitive camp-
ing situation. “No store-bought
handicrafts,” Mrs. Duryea em-
phasized.
The campers will spend four
days in the second week in Au-
gust in Memorial Park prepar-
ing for a weekend camp. All
camp activities will be aimed
toward the weekend camp, and
in addition, there will be more
planning of activities by the girls
themselves than any day camp
in Bellaire.
New Scouts and the Fifth gra-
ders will have their weekend
camp on the U. M. Harrison pro-
perty on Riceville Road. The old-
er Scouts will weekend at Camp
Wilson. Some of the activities
available for the Scouts in Day
Camp are beginning and advan-
ced lashing, tent and tarp pitch-
ing, outdoor cookery, coal, bean- f*
hoel, and reflector types; a wea-
ther station, a star-gazing work-
shop, nature trails, hiking, and
first aid training for the Scouts,
Archery will also be offered.
The only difference between
this Day Camp and a week at an
established camp will be that
the Scouts will go home at night.
The unit leaders are Mrs. Hor-
ace B. Webb, who will be in
charge of the oldest unit; Mrs.
Carl Dodge, Mrs. Donald G. Sie-
ver, and Mrs. Edwin N. Bell, j
All possible precautions for the
safety and welfare of the Scouts
will be taken, and there will be
both a first-aider and a nurse on
duty.
