Other spots visited in Ken tuck were the Cumberland Falls Cumberland Gap. While traveling through the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee and North Carolina, a bit of excitement was stirred up when a black bear decided to climb on top of the Mcris' car! A visit to the 480' high Fon- tana Dam was another highlight of their travels to North Carolina. Lookout Mountain and Rock City at Chattanooga, Tenn., were two more stops on the Maris' itinerary.

SPRING CLEANING? : Only one more room to get at andl'll be done with my spring cleaning, just in time to get started on my fan cleaning.

You just turn your back (with a houseful of kids, it could be five minutes) and there it is, ready to be done all over again. Tell me more about Women's lib! BOY SCOUT NEWS ..Itwoutdhave been easier for than to knock on my door and AFS Americans Abroad Programs are looking for young people with an unusual ability to appreciate life in a new environment with a dif­ ferent set of values. They are looking for young people with curiosity, imagination, good humor, perseverance and concern for other people. AFS offers a chance to change and grow, to put down roots in another culture and absorb elements that make its people unique. AFS is people who want to give something to one another. It is an experience in human relationships. It is sharing ideas , respons ib i l i t i e s , emotions, activities and quiet moments. An American Abroad student has a rare opportunity ask for money. People do it all the time...It would have been easier for them to say, "It's too much work"...It would have been easier for them to ask their sponsor, the Kiwanis, for a donation to buy new tents. But..our local Boy Scouts and their leaders didn't pick the easy way. They spend many hours collecting papers, newspapers, folded cereal boxes, cardboard, etc., from anyone who will save them. They make sure each bundle of papers is tied securely. They use their own garages for storage sometimes, while they keep searching for a vacant garage or barn that could be used for storage purposes. They spend many more hours loading the paper bundles onto trucks for delivery. They are ecology minded and know the good thing that is being done for us all by the recycling of these papers. They have used muscles and sweat to buy their own tents and camping gear which they will use now and which will still be beneficial to scouts in years to come. It's refreshing to hear of young people gaining their goal by not using the easy way out but by persevergpce, hard work and service to the community. A job well done, Boy Scout Troop 145 and those who lead and guide you. We salute you! BIRTHDAY GREETINGS A little bird just flew by my window and told me it was Sue Vanek's birthday last Friday, August 11. Happy birthday, Sue! Hope it was a happy one.
