The councillors were most inspiring and were young and joined in everything the I‘d never been so happy in my life as I was the next few ~weeks. â€"â€"~ â€" Each tent was given a particular job to do such as wood gathering, dishes and cookâ€" ing. All our cooking was done in the "kitâ€" chen" which consisted of a cash, a cupboard and a stove comprised of four pieces of wood with a 100 pound iron sheeting over it Under the stove we built a fire. All these things were made by the girls. We were allowed to "board" in any unit and tent with whom we pleased. I chose Kalevala and there.

Below are three letters about the three different camps, written by girls who spent part of their vacation in them. The letter from the Primitive camp is written by a scout who has just moved to Highland Park from Winâ€" netka and is a member of Lincoln school. ‘ WEEK DAYS......6:30 to 7:00 P. M.

We arrived in camp a very bedraggled lot but full of good spirits, singing and yellâ€" ing at the top of our lungs. We were put to bed and given hot Ovaitine to drink. This is a mere sketch of the great fun I had at Timber Trail. And if I tell you that rest of us. Can you imagine a pillow fight without ~pillows ? _ Well ! * We arose early and after a dip in the lake we paddled some fifteen miles further. Just as we landed we struck an electric storm. Two canoes turned up missing but were found after a frantic search. But sad to relate, the one containing some of our packs had overturned and everything ‘was somked. â€" The storm continued for hours. As all our things were wet we decided to let three girls paddle to the mainland. They hailed a truck which promised to return for canoe trip up the Sturgeon river through a chain of five lakes. The first day we had lunch on the Girl Scout Island and then slept on another island, the next day going to a still different island. ‘The first night we went to bed early as all were rather tired. A few hours later we were awakened by hideous screams. Upon investigating we found that a porcupine was trying to nibble at the feet of one of the girls. After a good laugh we settled down for a good nights rest but were again awakened at oneâ€" thirty.by some of the girls "serenading" the to do On August 1st we left on a threeâ€"day Free Lecture on Christian Science Member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother First Church of Christ, Scientist ~__ _ The Public Is Cordially Invited To Attend Elm Place School Auditorium Sheridan Road at Elm Place | HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS BICKNELL YOUNG,C.S .B. ursday Evening, Sept. 15, 1932 ~They evenâ€"washedâ€"dishes £ of HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS ANNOUNCES A * OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS to be held HIGHLAND PARK 2400 Children Always 10¢ & Robert McCormick, 28 years old, a fireman of squad No. 1, Dearborn and Lake streets, Chicago, was killâ€" ed last week when a car in which he was riding was forced from Milâ€" waukee avenue between Grayslake and Libertyville. . One meal we had to prepare without utenâ€" sils. There were lots of hikes. I am going back next year if I can. I liked this camp so much because we did so many things and were always busy. We took turns doing dishes, building the fire, and cooking every meal. WINNETKA PRIMITIVE CAMP Primitive camp is in Delevan Wisconsin on Turtle Lake. We loved it a lot. Four of us passed our Junior Life Saving, while two of us reviewed it. One of the best things was sleeping out of doors. We slept on .ponchoes and straw mattresses outside except when it rained. We took a trip to the Yerkes Ohcrvluw. We went to classes if we wanted to. e had several classes such as nature, handiâ€" craft, eanoeing. . one at Timber Trail isâ€" the friend~ of every one else. If anyone wants a keen 1933 summer they had better start right now to save their pennies toward a Timber Trail vacation. Georgialou Fleager. Kathryn ‘Weinberg.
