Camp Fire Girl
CfcJ NEWS
By DOROTHY MURPHY
(Publicity Chairman)
• • •
How does one become a Blue
Bird or Camp Fire leader? First
of all, one answers the call to
an existing need, i.e. after be-
coming aware of the lack of a
leader, assistant leader, or spon-
sor for a group of girls who
want to belong to the organiza-
tion, a woman tells the school
chairman, (In Farmers Branch,
Mrs. Robert Wilson), that she
wants to take an active part.
After some discussion and fur-
ther information, the woman
may begin immediately to or-
ganize a new group or to work
with an existing one. She will
probably want to take the first
training course available to
learn better how to conduct the
meetings and activities of the
group. Five of our new leaders,
Mrs. Pete Salmon, Mrs. A A
Harris, Mrs. K. W. Kemp, Mrs.
W. B. Gibson, and Mrs. John
Lathem have recently received
their Leadership Training Cer-
tificates, and Mrs. L. T. Belt has
nearly completed work on hers.
Also, Mmes. Lathem, Salmon,
and Self received Camp Cer-
tificates at Camp Ellowi, which
will qualify them to take their
groups to Camp Fire camps.
Our leaders are often Sun-
day School teachers also, as the
qualities which make them good
for the one Job, also apply to
the other. Although a desire to
work with children is , para-
mount, most of the leader^ are
also active in PTA and other
adult groups as well.
A call for tray favors in
Chips, Camp Fire Girl news
sheet, was answered by the
Farmers Branch Blue Birds and
the Takayazuma Camp Fire
Girls. Barbara Roseler was
hostess for the Blue Bird meet-
ing where 46 tray favors were
made. Jamara Edwards and
Judy Pollard get to deliver the
favors to Children's Medical
Center today. Marie Carroll
was hostess for the Camp Fire
group which made walnut shell
baskets containing butterscotch
drops. Sharon Collinsworth has
been chosen social chairman of
this group, and Sandra Nelson
and Beverly Goodwin are song
leaders.
Rene Kemp was hostess fol'
the Happy Blue Birds’ game
and songfest. The Gay Blue
Birds welcome a new member,
Marilyn Moffett. They made
First Aid Kits and took a hike
last week.
