New council of Camp Fire girls to be established
It is being announced this week that notification has been received in Syracuse in which acceptance has been made for establishment of a new council of Camp Fire Girls. Much work has been done and will continue to be done, it was added, to meet all the requirements to obtain a council charter. Work begun many months ago by volunteers in the Syracuse community for the council. Last fall girls submitted names to a committee of what they wanted the council to stand for and what they expected from the council. These names were taken from Indian names and meanings. The committee selected five and prepared a ballot fra* the girls to vote upon. The result was Wa-Da-Ya-Ki Camp Fire Girls council. Meaning of the name is Wa. adventureous; Da, to honor and respect; Ya, to give a share of; and Ki. to grow and flourish. Encouragement Camp Fire Girls is an educational-recreational program which shall encourage in every girl the following: 1— Application of her religious, spiritual and ethical teachings to her daily living 2 — A love of home and family that grows as she grows 3 — Pride in woman’s traditional qualities — tenderness, affection and skill in human relationships 4 — The capacity for fun, friendship and happy group relationships 5 — The formation of healthful habits 6 — The ability to take care of herself, to do her work skillfully and to take pleasure in it. 7 — Interest and hobbies she can enjoy with others and alone 8 — Love of the out of doors and skill in outdoor living 9 — A happy heart that will help her find beauty, romance and adventure in the common things of daily life. Suggested by Poet The name Camp Fire Girls was suggested by a poet. The symbol is a camp fire with a blue border. From very early times, the flame meant home, the place of comfort and cheer and woman was the keeper of the fire. The camp fire also meant the outdoors, standing for the beauty, wonder of nature, friendliness and warmth. The watchword is WoHeLo. It is taken from the first two syllables of work, health and love. Camp Fire Girls was founded by a group of farsighted men and women, experts in the fields of health, education, recreation, human relationships and social engineering. Among the leaders were Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick and his wife, Charlotte, Ernest Thomas Seaton, Mrs. Charles Farnsworth, Linda and Dan Beard and Chauncy Langdon, many of which have been honored by having awards given carrying their names. Church Sunday In the Wa-Da-Ya-Ki council.

By ROSALYN JONES The Syracuse Library is Wearin’ the Green in honor of Saint Patrick’s Day coming up. Take special note of the clever “trash tree’’ that the ladies of the Syracuse-Wawasee Garden club made in the Saint Patrick’s Day motif. Decorations of shamrocks, leprechauns and other greens are made mostly of tin cans, plastic lids, medicine bottles and flash cubes. The tree along with poster and free trash bags serve to remind us to dispose of our trash properly. And judging from the condition of our roads, people need to be reminded. Some new books recently added to the library include: Fein: “Jack Benny, an Intimate Biography’’ Smith: ‘‘The Russians”, a history of the people. Dupuy Hammerman: “People & Events of the American Revolution” Handlin: “The Statue of Liberty”, a history of our symbol of liberty. Children's Room New books added to the children’s room are: “Bicentennial Plays and Programs” Dudley: “Our American Trees” Daringer: “Adopted Jane” Earle: “The Rose Family” The children have brought several home made terrariums to the children's department which have added a touch of spring.
