FamfiK J Old- The old Farm House at Mountain Dell was obtained in the year of 1935. A long-terlease for the house and the grounds was signed through the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. George D. Keyser. Mr. Keyser was commission of the Water Works Department, and his wife supported the Girl Scout program. The property is located about an hours drive up Parleys Canyon and is owned by Salt Lake City. Since the time it was acquired for the girl scouts, the upkeep of the building and the property has been the responsibility of the Girl Scout Council. Funds for this purpose are obtained through the sale of the Girl Scout Cookies. Money obtained from ' the sale of the cookies that is turned into headquarters goes into a camping fund that is used for the facilities at the farm house and at Cloud Rim, both camping headquarters for the girl scouts. The old stone home at Mountain Dell is set back from the road, and framed by a row of Lombardy Poplar trees. It has a large kitchen and living room. The living room has a fireplace that adds a cheery m KEARNS RESIDENTS Talk to J THE NEW CHAMPION GENE FULLMER Call: La-Do- CY 8-57- 22 Mte atmosphere to those chilly fall evenings. In addition there are two bedrooms that furnished with bunk fourteen beds to accommodate summer a is also girls. There home that house set apart from the has bunk beds to sleep eight. The summer house is all screened in and allows wonderful sleeping for the hot summer nights. The girls that have used the facilities for the past few years have had the conveniences of a gas refrigerator and hot and cold running water. Before these were installed, a cooler would have to be improvised to keep food stored, and water would have to be heated on the stove to do dishes and th5 like. Facilities at the farm house now provide a shower room with three shower stalls. Time was when showers came from an old tub that was perched on a stand, with holes in the bottom of the tub. You would fill the tub, get under and pull a cord and you had your shower. Electricity is still not one of the conveniences of home at the camp site. Battery lights are used at night, where as years ago, the old oil lamps were lit. The area around the camp site provides the girl scouts with hiking, trailing, nature studies, and plenty of fresh air that invigorates the appetites. There are also swings teeter-tottervolley ball area, and about anything the outdoor life just can offer the girl scouts. The Farm House itself is endowed with history. It was once a stop on the famous Pony Express Route from Sacramento, Calif., to St. Joseph Missouri. It was also once owned by a family named Armstrong, that were lured to the site by the beaver, deer, birds, fish, the red fox, etc. Anyone loving the outdoor life would like to have a. home in the same location. But. because of modern progress, the girl scouts may have to give up this retreat and therefore are looking for new camp grounds just in case. s, , Quite a group of girls from the Kearns area spent several days. at the camp site this summer under the direction and guidance of their scout leaders.
