From where I sit... St* v

WnFNFvrn I hear about anybody havinR a big family I think of Dad and Ma Hoskins. The Hoskins’ had thirteen children. They weren’t • bad bunch of kids, by and large — but it seemed one or the other of them would always lie having a fuss with the neighbors, or would break a window playing baseball, or some other kid trick. Kept Dad and Ma mighty busy all the time. • • • One day Dad got a bright idea. He called the whole family together for a special meeting at the dinner table. He told them he was tired of checking up on them all the time. He said he thought they were old enough now to check up on themselves. The older children would ■watch the younger ones. They ■would have meetings every so often and hand out rewards or punishments. * * • Well, it was a crazy idea hut the kids liked it and they started behaving better than they ever had before. The idea worked and Dad finally did get a little time for him- |

aelf.

I mention this story aboil Dad Hoskins because it’a something like what I understand the beer industry is doing to regalate itself. * • • As I see it, most of ths beer industry behaves itself perfectly all right... but every now and then, I guess, a retailer comes along who runs a place that isn’t up to scratch ... sort of like a wayward

kid.

So like Dad Hoskins’ family, the brewers and beer distributors have united together in an industry •tlf-regulaiion program to help the proper authorities “clean up or close up” offending retail places. The brewers, who want to protect beer’s good name, cooperate wisely with the authorities who enforce the laws. • • • From where T sit, that’s a fine thing for the brewers to do . . . particularly when you realize that after all they're really no/ responsible for retailing conditions.

The Greencastle Girl Scouts are fortunate this year to be able to hold their camp at Camp NaWaKwa in McCormick’s Creek State Park at , Spencer. Camp NaWaKwa is a 1 large camp suitable for many activ-' ities in any kind of weather, and is arranged for safe, comfortable,

happy camping.

The values that a girl derives from a camping experience are more important in these times than ever before. In a recent issue of the Girl Scout Leader, Miss Margaret Chapman says “Camp is our best laboratory to teach the things we believe in for children. Here is where democracy may be practiced in a living situation and the shared responsibilities of citizenship made real to them. Resourcefulness cannot -be taught artificially. In the simplicity of the out-door setting everyday living presents a hundred realistic situations through which a child can learn to think for herself, to use materials at hand, to get along with simple tools and equipment—in short to be resourceful. The nation wide effort to harden young people physically makes camping of increased importance.” The Greencastle camp will start Tuesday, June 9 and continue till Saturday. June 20. The charge for one week will be $8.50 and for the twelve days $13.75. The camp will more than meet the requirements of the Minimum Standards for an Established Girl Scout camp as set up by the National Girl Scouts, Inc. In commenting on our camp last year, Miss Gayle Cole, camp adviser of the Great Lakes Region wrote that “You have reason to be very proud of your camp.” Mrs. Winifred G. Legg will be director for the fourth season. Mrs. B. F. Handy, Girl Scout Commissioner, will again serve as business manager and dietitian. A fine staff of counselors has been selected. Camp folders containing detailed Information about camp will soon be distributed to the Scouts through their troops. Registration cards should be turned in by May 28. A health certificate filled in by a doctor within three days of the opening of

camp is required.

There are a number of girls who will not be able to go to camp without some financial aid. Any persons who would like to contribute to this
