Second Day Camp Big Success By Verna Foran With thirty-nine delightful girls, lunches, and courage, we braved our second week of Day Camp. It was very successful. We began oui week with in- troductions, opening exercises,I an.d the choosing of tribes and carnpsites. Denise Wessels was the chief of the Apache Tribe, Sharon Burgess the Blackfoot tribe, and Virginia Osmond The Huron tuibe. Immediately they began work on their forts. Af- ter a complete day of games, * swimming, archeuy, arts and crafts, and singing, we checked the campsites and the Hurons 10 points, Apache 7 and Black- feet 7. On Tuesday ,we had a sleep out and twenty-four giî>s stay- ed with Bey, Verna and Barry Cowling. Thanks go to Mr. Cowling. We suîely had a won- derful time. We had cookouts with the tribes getting points for their campf ires. Thursday evening was Par- ents Night and the children learned square dancing and the Virginia Reel. A planned pro- Igramn was presented. The win- neus ta -date were the Black- feet tribe who again received 10 points for their camnpsite. The Hurons got 9 and the Apache 10. Total points were the Black- feet 41 points, Huron, 40 points,, Apache 39 points. 'The three best campers were Denise Wes- sels, Virginia Osmond, and Sha- ron Burgess. On Friday, our last day, we had a field day and the final points were as fol- lows: Blackfeet 88, Apache 72,1j Huron 63. Finally, we packed Up every- thing that we had accumulated during the week and started for home. We wish te thank al those girls who partîcipated and who helped make the week s0 very successful.

Good Mornlng Dr. George, Last week 1 received a Brownie floral card from my niece, Mrs. Ormniston, Enniskil- len, witb that poem "How Old Are You?" As I memaorized it my mind flew to Bowmanville when visiting the Werrys on Horsey Street acrosa from you and would also slip Into your office for a chat. And now as 1 read about the Martyn Family Album ln the Statesman of June i lth and tbc interest you have created by It I realize that though you have graduated fram civlc and news- paper editor you have chosen a most helpful occupation, even if not remunerating, by calling on senior friends, shut-ins and sick folks. There la nothing more helpful in lite than the human touch, the hand that says by action, "I arn tbinking of you, 15 there 2nything I can do to make lite more picas- ant?" So: "INo matter how the years go by- No znatter how the birthdays tii'- You are flot old." Yes, George, that does mean the importance of keeping alcut ta the needs of others, and 1 trust you may long live to give of yourself to others. One of my school teacher friends sent me tbe enclosed be quiet and listen for guidance. Mr. and Mus. Harold Best are spending a few days on a holiday trip and Mrs. F.
