7 Girls Attend
Lake Brownwood
Dear Mr. McGee,
Tonight, after most
children were in bed, asleep,
I held a little five year old
girl in my arms and tried to
explain why one of her
friends had been killed.
Have you ever had to do
this?
This happened because
someone had starved an
animal until it had to kill to
feed herself and her puppy.
Near the airport, here in
Jacksboro, there is such an
animal, and tonight, I
found what was once
a beautiful little white
rabbit, named Pockets.’
He came to live and be loved
and cared for by four
children and their parents.
He was raised with three
dogs and a cat and had
never known fear.
Someone, some time ago,
found they didn't want a
little black female dog,
because she was either
going to have puppies or
they knew that someday,
she would. Therefore they
got out from under their
responsibility by leaving
her beside the road near the
airport. I suppose they
thought someone would
take care of her, but they
were wrong. She is skin and

bones and yet, has mana-
ged to raise one puppy.
She is not to blame for
killing ‘Pockets.’ But how
about the people that
abandoned her or the ones
that have not been feeding
her? There has been a lot of
talk about the ‘dirty books’
being sold in town and
what they are doing to the
kids. If the people that are
so concerned with the
removal of such books,
would have shown a little
kindness and compassion
to this animal, one of God's
creatures, then this need-
less killing wouldn't have
happened. I can only hope
that they teach their
children love, kindness,
and compassion, and then
with God's help, maybe
they will never have to
explain to a child why her
friend was killed, and how
a little dog was driven to do
this, just because she was
hungry.
People of Jacksboro,
please think twice before
you abandon an animal
anywhere. Try and find a
home for them. The want
ads in our local papers can
help to find them homes.
Just don't depend on
someone else to take care of
them....Because they most
often don't.
Sincerely yours,
Clara Mae Frank
TTie summer sessions at
Camp Wood Lake, the
Heart of Texas Girl Scout
Council’s resident camp at
Lake Brownwood, came to a
close Friday, July 15. 83
Junior, Cadette and Senior
Girl Scouts attended two 12-
day sessions, and 125
Brownie Girl Scouts attend-
ed four 5-day sessions. The
return of the twelve-day
sessions proved popular;
camp attendance increased
14% this year.
Additional security
measures which contri-
buted to a more relaxed
atmosphere among cam-
pers and staff were extra
patrols of the area by the
Lake Brownwood Lake
Patrol and the State Park
Rangers, the use of 2-way
radios given for the camp
sessions by Motorola
through their agency
representative, Wayne
McCrane, and the use of
floodlights in the units and
main areas at night.
Activities for all girls
included hikes, cookouts,
swimming and crafts. New
this year was a graded
system of campcraft levels;
97 girls completed the
requirements for Camp-
craft I, 26 completed
Campcraft II, and 22
completed Campcraft III.
Records will be kept so that
next year each girl will be
able to continue to earn
more advanced ratings.
For each level, girls add a
different colored bead to a
leather thong necklace.
Girl Scout proficiency
badges earned included
Backyard Fun, Water Fun.
Health Aid, Rambler,
Carpet, Gypsey, Troop
Camper, Our Own Troop's
Sports, World Neighbor,
World Games, Sports and
Swimmer. A group of
Cadettes earned The Chal-
lenge of the Out-of-Doors.
In addition to badge and
challenge work, there were
optional interests for all
age-levels including dan-
cing, dramatics, tumbling,
twirling, self-defense,
tennis, archery, nature
craft, macrame, photo-
graphy, and sports and
games. A group of older
Cadettes and Seniors took
an overnight canoe trip to
Sandy Beach.
The Camp Council, made
up of one girl from each
patrol of eight girls,
planned special events such
as a tacky party and skits
night, backwards day,
inside out day, water rodeo,
Fourth of July picnic, and
sports and games night,
members of the Camp
Council from Jacksboro
were Mary Kay Hackley
and Linda Ross.
Shari Reeves, of Jacks-
boro . was elected to be a
patrol leader and she also
was elected Honor camper
for the Pathfinder Unit.
One girl from each unit is
elected Honor Camper for
each session. These are the
ones that the girls feel best
represent the qualities that
make a good camper, such
as friendliness, good
sportsmanship, neatness,
willingness to help, cheer-
fulness and courtesy.
The following girls from
Jacksboro attended the
Camp Wood Lake: Kristi
Davis, Toi Davis, Mary Kay
Hackley, Missy Henderson,
Lara Poynor, Shari Reeves
and Lisa Ross.
