The girls made posters to advertise the sale. Their efforts netted over $4.50 and this amount is to be doubled by a friend of the group. A year ago, the girls made Christmas a happy day for this family, and have kept in touch with them throughout the year. Mrs. Philip Fisher and Miss Allison Koch are the guardians of this group. Thursday afternoon, December 22, the Camp Fire Guardians' Training course which Miss Estelle Farley has been conducting in Community House, was closed with a Camp Fire Ceremon- ial. Mrs. Elaine Grable, Chicago ex- ecutive of Camp Fire Girls, conducted the ceremonial meeting, with Mrs. John Marshall's Camp Fire group dem- onstrating the songs and the candle- lighting. The meeting was held in the Camp Fire room. All the active Win- netka Camp Fire Girls were present, and joined in the songs and ceremon- ies. Mrs. Grable spoke of the service that Camp Fire Girls could give, espe- cially at this Christmas season.
