Camp Fire Girls 'Go Places,' Resume of Services Reveals WNV Features, Camp Fire Girls, your birthdays are showing! Yes, they are 35 of them! But instead of growing older with the years, you remain young in spirit and mind, eagerly looking forward to new horizons. Camp Fire Girls! Perhaps that brings to mind a group of girls in Indian ceremonial gowns, adorned with beadwork, rub bing two sticks together to mane a fire in the woods. Well, they do that. too, but it's only a fraction of what the girls do! On March 15, 1912, the organization organiza-tion was incorporated. Two years prior to that, a group of progressive educators, naturalists and woodsmen founded the youth-serving agency, "to formulate a plan of constructive leisure-time activities for young girls from 7 to 18." These far-seeing people realized real-ized that character is formed predominantly during the recreational recre-ational hours of a child's life. They outlined a program of work : and play, based on the finest ideals of civilized living. During 35 years their wise planning plan-ning has paid dividends. For more than two million girls have enjoyed fun and friendship in Camp Fire since the organization was incorporated. incorpo-rated. At present, more than 360,000 members in 222 councils scattered from Maine to California provide proof that Camp Fire's program offers of-fers the recreational needs als ire seeking. Every year Camp Fire proposes a project particularly geared to service and citizenship. The 1947 anniversary project has as its theme, "Going Places." Although the organization's or-ganization's youthful members have been "going places" ever since 1912, they now will plan to go even farther afield. As an example, in Reading, Pa., 100 Camp Fire Girls received a behind-the-scenes training in business as they took over various jobs for one day in one of the city's large department stores. They went forward, for-ward, not only in learning how a big business is run, but also in the field of human relations. Another instance of how Camp Fire members are alert to new trends occurred In Dayton, Ohio. Thirty girls recently enrolled in a four-week course in child and baby care. Now Dayton mothers moth-ers of young children will feel secure in using Camp Fire Girls as "baby sitters." Out in St. Paul, Minn., Camp Fire Girls went places in a big way during dur-ing the Community Chest campaign by caring for children of volunteers while the mothers were out collecting col-lecting funds for the drive. Alert to other community needs, Klamath County, Ore., Camp Fire Girls volunteered to work in public health offices, bringing files up to date, at the same time getting experience in business procedures. Adopt War Orphans. Promoting international good will always has been a part of Camp Fire's program. In Washington, Ore., Horizon Clubbers (Camp Fire's senior group) have adopted a French war orphan and regularly send him clothes and food. A similar undertaking un-dertaking is being accomplished in Sacramento, Calif., where another teen-age group also has adopted a war orphan. From these few excerpts may be gathered a small Idea of the vast-ness vast-ness of the Camp Fire program. Rubbing two sticks together to make a fire is not the half of it! "The vision of the world and all the wonder that would be," which the founding fathers of Camp Fire had back in 1912, has indeed been realized as Camp Fire Girls show the world they are "going places!" Historical Group Asks End of Civil War Bond MADISON, WIS Under terms of a bill introduced in the state senate. Wisconsin State Historical society will be freed from its Civil war shackles.
