Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA, UTAH CAMP FIRE GIRLS Junior High School Girls Learn How to Live in Outdoor Camps In spite of eight-cylind- auto-mobiles, television sets, electric dishwashers and innerspring mat-tresses, America continues to be a nation o pioneers. If you doubt it, visit a Camp Fire Girls camp this summer. Out in Whitman, Wash., you would find a group of junior high school girls living in a primitive clearing, 20 minutes by boat from the main, camp where the younger girls live. In Gypsy Haven, the pioneer 0 j Blue Birds (junior members of Camp Fire Girls) think breakfast cooked on hobo stoves tastes better than anv other, in spite of such hazards as "sun-burned" noses and pancakes. camp, the only permanent installa-tions are a storage tent, tool-she- d and toilet. The campers bring along chow pans, axes, rope, lashing cord and sleeping bags. With the Forest Ranger's permission, they cut down trees from which stools and tables are built. Needled, small-ste-branches become mattresses under their bed rolls. The girls also make other camp craft necessities such as sunken reflector ovens, stone-line- d baking holes, drainage systems and trash pits. During their stay at Gypsy Haven the girls cook their own meals and make friends with the area's wild life. A doe and her fawn visit the camp daily and chipmunks come up to eat from the girls' hands. IN DES MOINES, IA.( seven lucky Horizon Club members of senior high school age, accom-panied by three counselors, last summer paddled a war canoe 35 miles down the Des Moines river. Sandbars and rapids added thrills to the trip which in-volved five steady hours of hard paddling. When an experienced camper in Portland, Ore., reaches the ripe old age of 14, she gets to live in a unit of An added zest goes with outdoor cooking in Dickinson, N. D., where Camp Fire Girls prepare frogs-le- g dinners from frogs they catch them-selves. Even Blue Birds, who are and- the youngest members of Camp Fire Girls, are imbued with pioneer spirit. They love to cook on tin can stoves or on sticks over an open fire. Their pride in their own efforts produces an enthusiasm that occasionally far exceeds results. As one little San Diego Blue Bird said last year while she munched happily on a badly "sunburned" bread twist, "I wish my mother could cook like this." In a recent issue of The Camp Fire Girl, Ernest F. Schmidt, di-rector of Schiff Outdoor Activities in Mendham, N.J., gave Camp Fire campers two rules to follow when hiking. The first is to stop, look and listen If they become lost: stop to collect thoughts; look for landmarks, and listen for sounds of trains, auto-mobiles or running water. The second suggestion is always to carry with them a Litepac. Lost Kit of emergency tools. The kit, which each girl can assemble her-self, should include a small com-pass, snare wire and fishing tackle, matches, bouillon cubes, paper and pencil, and razor blade. All these articles fit into a cigarette-typ- e plastic case or a typewriter ribbon box, either of which can be water-proofed with nail polish or shellac cut 50 per cent with alcohol. iP(DERF(DPE S-K- .-1 ytf j WON 25 RACES OUT OF 27 . ?, y I STARTS AS A THREE-YEA- R -- """T'' i'i OLDj INCLUDING .THE KENTUCKY I I' LX v 1 DERBY, THE BELMONT STAKES I !: If 'ft J AND THE PREAKNESS.

And all through the year oth-er scripts will be performed; sec-ond, third and fourth winners re-ceived $500 each, authors of other JEAN HEKSHOLT scripts that are broadcast received $250-$30- with Jean Hersholt, of course, always in the role he has made famous. During the years the contests have been won by house-wives, stenographers, chorus girls, professional and amateur writers in short, by Mr. and Mrs. America.

SPOR TLIGH T I j Lccke Considered Top Golfer By GRANTLAND RICE New York A portly fellow by the name of Bobby Locke is on his way ' from South Africa to England, and from England to the United States. This is one of the longest invasions that sport has known. 'i Bobby Locke is a South African i. golfer that many rate as the great- - ' est of them all. His supporters bar j nobody. He is headed for the Goodall Round Robin at Wykagyl in early June, and later to the U.S. Open in Detroit, two of the major tests that golf has to offer, r Locke is, beyond any argu ment, the greatest golfer the other side of the Atlantic has developed since the reign of Harry Vardon. Bobby is now British Open Champion. His showing in our Goodall Round j' Robin has been a trifle better than sensational. This is a grinding test i; where every player from a picked field must meet every other play- - er. The total result teDs the story. ... In three Round Robins, the rec- - '. ords we have show that Locke has won two and fin- - The Locke Swing Bobby Locke's stroke is closest to a completely natural golf swing of any we have seen. You can see the iron-sho- d school-ing, the hours and years of prac-tice, back of the Hogan groove. This goes for Nelson, Mangrum, and most of the others. They have hammered them-selves into a set style that allows for rare errors. There is the straight left arm, the body turn, the fixed head, the hand and wrist action that controls the club head! With Ben Hogan, especially, there is rarely the slightest change from this killing routine. Sammy Snead has one of the g swings golf has ever known. But Locke's swing still looks to be a trifle simpler and less complicated. It is more in line with the "St. Andrews Swing" of an-cient years. Another factor of Locke's swing is its consistency or steadiness. You rarely see him wandering too far from the trapped or pitted highway. Be is also a sound competitor who rarely gets bothered or upset by any errors or mistakes. In addition to this, Locke has an extremely short game. There is no one better from just off the green to the bottom of the cup. He can chip and he can putt. He has his full share of concen-tration and determination, and he has a swing he trusts implicitly, which is a major help. Locke's visit will be the shot in the arm which golf needs today because of the lack of younger stars who seem to be in no hurry to report. His presence on the greens will help the tournament appeal. Ameri-can golfers, too, will remember the ability of the South African visitor. Big Money About one stable in ten makes any real money from a race track breeding, selling or racing. The horse player takes quite a healthy beating, year after year, but the horse owner takes an even bigger trimming. For example, I j - ished second in the other start. He has won more money, taking a general average of his play on this side of the bunkered pond, than any golfer we can re-call at the mo-- ment. In any event, Grantlano Rice he h g w Q healthy chunk, his full share of doubloons. Unfortunately Ben Hogan won't be able to stand the long march of the Round Robin test. But Hogan will be on hand at Oak-land Hills, for the Open, later on. For all that, Locke will have a rather savage test to meet. He will have such competi- - tors as Lloyd Mangrum, Sam- - my Snead, Jim Ferrier, Skee i Riegel, Jimmy Demaret, and others from the pick of the big field. Hogan is now Open champion and master of the .''' Masters, two of the highest '1 peaks golf knows today. But the Round Robin is also a terrific test of both skill and stam- - ina. j What this country and golf in general needs is the arrival of a i few new faces. The old guard is wearing out. Hogan, Nelson, Snead, ' Mangrum, Ferrier, etc., haven't too , j far to go. They are moving to the '' borders of the Forty-Year-Ol- d , country, where the laurel and the olive begin to fade. Bobby Locke is no part of a kid. for that matter. Bobby has been around a long time. Greentree, one of the best, makes money about one year in ten. The Whitneys, Vanderbilts, Wid-ener- Wrights, Sloanes, Jeffords, Klebergs and a few others support racing. Mrs. Warren Wright's famous Calumet stable with Citation, Pon-der, Coaltown, Bewitch, etc., had dominated the bank account of the game steadily until Mrs. Sloane's Brookmeade stable took charge in 1950. Calumet ran second. O.K. BY HER CORNER By Richard H. Wilkinson I . MAN who had rented Freda THE outboard motor told her that any fool could run one of the things. However, right now, drifting in the wrong direction in the middle of Mirror lake, I ; I with the- sun -- Minute beating down 3 "lerfuUy, she I giv-en a good deal to have the man's neck between her two hands. Just for luck she gave the crank one more spin. The motor went "chugurg, chugurg" and died. "Damn!" exclaimed Freda. She was so furious she could have cried. Instead she stood up and began to wave wildly at a boat that had sud-denly appeared around an island point. The boat kept serenely on its course and Freda was about to give up yelling and abandon herself to fate when the other craft swerved and headed in her direction. Two minutes later a black-haire- d youth was grinning up at her pleasantly. "Trouble?" he asked. "There's not a thing wrong with this motor," said Freda, "except that it won't run." The young man climbed aboard. He had a wrench in his hand. "I'll fix it," he said. Freda thought he was pretty confident, but a moment later she changed her mind. "Strainer got clogged." he said. "I'm an expert on outboards. My business is retrievin' 'em." "Retrieving them?" "Sure. Plenty of motors lost In this lake every year. I in-vented a special magnet to find 'em, then I grapple for 'em, haul 'em up, repair 'em Freda told Len Curtain her name without even stopping to think. and sell 'em. My name's Len Curtain. What's yours?" "Freda Brandon," said Freda, without even stopping to think. "Freda Brandon, eh? You're the girl who's going to marry Ray Hubbard. Well, they say money will do anything; but deliver me. Well, so long." Freda didn't catch her breath until she got back to camp. Her mother had news. "Darling! Ray wired he's com' ing up! He's arriving tomorrow." Freda's spirits sank. "Goody, goody," she said sourly. Freda set off in the outboard the next morning 10 minutes before Ray was due to arrive. Thirty min-utes later she saw a familiar look-ing boat anchored in a cove and camp up alongside. "Hi!" grinned Len Curtain "How's things?" "Fine. Say, look, what do you do m me winter:" "Oh, this and that." Len hauled in his grappling iron. "False alarm. Nothing here. How about anchoring that scow and taking a ride around with me?" Ray Hubbard was waiting on the dock when she got back. He didn't like the idea of her not being at camp to greet him, but she didn't care. npHE DAY after Ray departed Len Curtain came into the dock and Freda went down to see what he wanted. "It's a funny thing, but I'm in love. Will you marry me?" Freda almost fell into the water. "Goodness! I'm going to marry Ray." "Pshaw! You don't love him. Marry me and we'll have fun." Freda caught herself won-dering if that wouldn't be a good idea. She laughed, sound-ing like a frog with a sore throat. "Marry you and fish for out-boards all summer and do what in the winter?" Ray grinned. "There's no fishing in the winter. We'd get along. I've just sold my grappling magnet in-vention to the Sea Demon outboard people. That's only the beginning of the things I can invent." Freda blinked. Good heavens, was he going to be as startling as that all his life. "I'U have to think it over." "Give you five minutes. Hop in and we'll ride around in the mean-time." Freda heard of people being hyp-notized, and she guessed that was what was wrong with her. She hopped in and they rode around. When five minutes was up Len Curtain kissed her and she kissed him back and that settled the whole business. GRASSROOTS Gen. Charles Dawes Served Nation in Many Ways By Wright A. Patterson LATE GEN. CHARLES G. THE was an interesting character, a man of many varied experiences. The general, and his brother, Rufus, were almost wholly responsible for the holding in 1933 Chicago's Century of Progress ex-position. A group of the city's wealthy men had proposed that such an exposition be held at that time and then the depression broke. The proposers objected to fi-nancing an exposition at such a time. The two Dawes broth-ers insisted that, having been announced, the show must go on. During the days it was held I watched Gen. Dawes on many occasions stand in front of a numbering machine in the ad-ministration building as it checked cff the visitors, one by one, as they passed through the paid admission turnstiles. In the end, there were enough such admissions to enable the ex-position to pay out. Under its charter it could not make a profit, but there was enough left after all bond holuers were paid, plus interest, to raze all the buildings, and to beautifully landscape the five mile long lake front park through which rolls every day many thousands of automobiles from within and without the city. That is one of Chicago's beauty spots, and for it the people of the city can thank the Century of Prog-ress. Gen. Dawes served his country. As a soldier, he was purchasing agent of the American army in France during the first World War. As a civilian he served as vice president, as ambassador to Eng-land, as first director of the budget and comptroller of the treasury. The Dawes bank, Central Trust of Illinois, was the first big $13 mi-llionborrower of the Reconstruc-tion Finance Corporation, and every dollar, plus interest, was fully re-paid. Through the years he spent in Chicago he was a leader in the city's promotion. For many years a man of wealth, he died compara-tively poor. It is broadly rumored in Washing-ton that other heads than that of Douglas MacArthur are to fall un-der the blows of President Tru-man's execution axe. Rumor has it that J. Edgar Hoover, director of the F.B.I, is included in the next list of victims. Hoover and the F.B.I, have been largely responsible for the conviction of such Russian spies as Alger Hiss. As political misadventure, the removal of the popular F.B.I, director would be second only to that of the now Immortal MacArthur. It would be resented by the American people, and cause them to think, if not ex-press, their opinions as to which side of the Iron curtain the President and his advisers, are standing. Politically, it would complete the job so definitely started by the summary re-moval of MacArthur. It is possible the disasterous re-sults of the MacArthur decapita-tion may result in staying the hand of the President in the case of J. Edgar Hoover. His party cannot afford another such result, especial-ly between now and the 1952 elec-tions. Should the people receive an-other slap in the face within the next few months at the institaga-tio- n of Dean Acheson, we might as well save the expense of the next election. The administration at Washington continuously insists we will offer nothing that can be considered as appeasement to Communism, but at the behest of England, the grand-dadd- y of all appeasers, and the in-sistence of the socialistically in-clined Dean Acheson, the President fired the one man more generally feared by Stalin and his Red hordes than any one else. That was appeasement, and the American people gave ample evidence that they did not like it. It would seem that it might be a good thing for President Truman that the recall system does not ap-ply to the presidency. The day will come when Dean Acheson will need a safe hiding place if he is to escape the presi- dential hair brush. |
