E. Tippey As a result of their camping experience at the Sakajawea Day Camp, the Ramblers will have completed by . fall five badges: Rambler,â€" Pioneer, Outdoor Safeâ€" ty, Campcraft, and Outdoor Cook. Several worked on Bird and Wild Flower badges while they were at camp. In éonnection with. this badge work, the Ramblers cleared & large area at one end of the camp for use as a permanent fire scar. This entailed some tree fellâ€" ing, and much hard work with saws,. axes, and hatchets. They lashed together a table, and set up a line for hanging up equipâ€" ment. Carol Kluss,â€" Mary Davidâ€" son and Peggy Lennox demonâ€" strated to the other campers how to make a bed roll for overnite camping. Janet _ King, and Janet Vieregwg demonstrated the proper care of army cots. Each overnite camper must set up and put away her .own. Besides being a negative stateâ€" ment (last word is "retreat"!), meâ€"thinks the psychology was mighty bad, particularly for those battleâ€"weary, frontline GIs. * We found thepark in beautiful condition. Andâ€"on the lawn, way out in "right field", and under the stars, we were able to hear all those excelâ€" lent notes played by the Chicago Symphony Orchesâ€" tra just as clearly as if we wereâ€" inside that handsome new pavilion. | Bad Psychology? . . . â€" ‘Fight or Die! Don‘t Retreat!‘ That‘s what our top general over in Korea ordered last weekâ€" end. * 5 The order might better‘ have read: "Keep Fighting. Go Forâ€" ward. We Will Win!" One of our party smoked 18 cigarettes to fight off the mosâ€" quitos . . . but still they came . . . until‘ 10:30 when they beat us and we had to withdraw. . . . In brief, Mr. Murray, we urge you to rid the park of mosquitos. But, even with the mosquitos, Ravinia is finer than ever before, and you and your able and genâ€" erous assistants deserve praise for the fine, positive job you‘re doing Memo To Howell Murray: We visited your wonâ€" derful Ravinia the other evening with some Chicago Try as we did to concentrate on the music, however, insistent mosâ€" quitos grabbed our attention as they swooped down and bit us with all their might. to make Ravinia the most unique of all music festivals!

They made a large terrarium for plantâ€" ing mosses and plants, and filled it with small living: things ‘like snails, grasshoppers, a toad, moths and butterflies, a katyâ€"did, worms and ééterpillars. They made a naâ€" ture .trail around the camp by attaching numbered, wooden plaâ€" cards to trees and plants, for later identification in following the trail. They set up a fruit show of wild fruits and seed pods propâ€" erly labeled, The Rambler badge work taught them stars, plants, trees and birds, and they learned how to explore the outâ€"ofâ€"doors using all their senses for keen obâ€" servation, These Ramblers will be meeting again in a few weeks with Mrs. Harold Reintjes for a day of more advanced work in these badges. The two Intermediate groups also accomplished a large part of the Qutdoor Cook and Campcraft badges and studied wild plants and birds. Miss Roslyn Fox, group leader of the Brownies at camp, reported that her girls enjoyed most of all carrying out, assigned jobs for each day, and that all learned to work happily together. They spent absorbing hours in dramatic inâ€" terpretation of stories told them by Miss Fox, playedâ€"nature games, made twig > puppets, grass dolls, weather barometers, held an art exhibit, sang songs, and kept perâ€" haps the neatest campsite of all the groups at.
