December 8, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Ue CAMP FIRE INVITES TO ANNUAL FOOD SALE Housewives of Winnetka Urged to View Displays at Com- munity House December 15 Choice recipes, tried and true home dishes of special merit will be offered to the housewives of Winnetka by the Camp Fire Girls at their food sale, Saturday morning, December 15, in the Neighborhood room of Community house. This is the time when Camp Fire Girls put their shoulder to the wheel-- the domestic wheel--to help move the big Camp Fire wheel and turn a little money into the treasury for general expenses. It is a time when girls who take a pride in their cooking are eager to share their efforts with the public. Six groups of Camp Fire Girls will each have their individual booths at this sale, and will sell breads, cakes, pies, rolls, salads, cookies, and all the things that a housekeeper can use at once on her table for the weekend. The Camp Fire Girls have a sale each fall to help put money in their treasury. But the purpose is even big- ger than that; it is to encourage the girl to skillful effort, for which she receives recognition in Camp Fire. Many "home honors" are won by the girls through this effort, and a success- ful - sale means great encouragement for continued effort. Those who have attended these sales at previous times are very enthusiastic over the skill which the girls display in their productss and the charming manner in which the food is arranged. The prices, too, are reasonable. Camp Fire works through seven crafts, and at the sale on December 15, the girls will put their united effort on one phase of Home-craft in which it asks the co-operation of the public, |* and for which it will give "value re- ceived." The groups are sponsored by the following guardians and assistant guar- dians: Mrs. John Winscott, Miss Kathryn Adams, Miss Mildred Olson, Mrs. Philip Fisher, Miss Dorothy Prouty, Mrs. Paul Hutchinson, Mrs. John Marshall, Mrs. Martin Cassell, Mrs. H. A. Orvis. A committee from the Camp Fire council will judge the articles offered for sale, and honors will be awarded to the groups 100 per cent in contribution : to the prettiest table, and to the one showing the greatest variety. The sale opens on Saturday morning. December 15, at 10:30 o'clock and con- tinues until noon.
