Webster Girl Scouts busy, cookie sales are underway

The North Webster Girl Scouts will be selling cookies through January 22. The profits from the cookie sale will go to individual troops to help pay for their many activities. The Girl Scouts in the North Webster area are keeping themselves quite busy, stated Charma Owens, chairman of cookie sales. Brownie troop 101 visited with a fellow Scout who has been bedridden for several months. A pine-cone penguin was taken to her. The Brownies had also made ornaments, candles and a pinata for the Christmas season. As their service project the girls from troop 101 made international friendship dolls for the Community Christmas Helpers. Cadettes, Troop 294. spent a November week end at Camp Singing Hills and also helped with the Community Christmas Helpers. Plans are underway for an international family dinner to be prepared by the girls. The Cadettes were also hosts to the Girl Guides from South Africa, Lynn and Joy Rees. Junior Troop 178 is working on their Health and Safety badge. Along with this, they visited the North- Webster Police and EMS departments. They also have a local nurse working with them on the subject of good health. The troop has also made favors for hospital patients. In this International Year of the Child, the theme of Girl Scouting for 1979, Brownie Troop 63 hosted Arto Nummila, Wawasee High School’s Exchange student from Finland. The girls enjoy learning about life in other countries. The troop also toured the McDonald’s in Warsaw.

Hes an ice fisherman *•> Fred Hershberger, has been an ice fisherman for 15 years. Even though he now resides in Elkhart, many in the Milford area will remember him. He is the grandson of the late Fred and Hazel Kaylor whom he lived with for many years. Hershberger does most of his fishing on Simonton Lake in Elkhart where he lives. He will occasionaly saunter down to Lake Tippecanoe and Lake Wawasee, however, to catch some fish. What does the former Milford resident enjoy most about this cold sport? “You can get out there and forget about everything,” he commented, “It’s peaceful.” / For a typical day of ice fishing, Hershberger dresses warmly in heavy clothing and boots. He will usually take along two fishing poles and will use standard bait. The best times to ice fish, said Hershberger, is early in the morning or between 4-5:30 p.m. Os course, he said, “You don’t always catch fish. If you’re at the right spot at the right time, you’re going to catch some. You have to have patience to ice fish.” He will usually move from hole to hole trying to locate a school of fish. The types# of fish he likes to catch include bluegill and crappie. Bass is another ice fisherman favorite, but not for.Hershberger. His son, Freddie, Jr., nine, is also an ice fisherman. The other members of the Hershberger family include wife, Andrea, and daughters, Betsie, 14 and Jennifer, 12.

Warmth important

By PATRICIA M. BRAMAN Extension Agent The bitter cold and freezing temperatures place special demands on our bodies, one important demand is warmth. One of the basic essentials for winter survival. If you must go outdoors, wear loose fitting, lightweight, warm clothing and several layers of it. Trapped, insulating air. warmed by body heat is the best protection against cold. Layers of protective clothing are more effective and efficient than a single layer of thick clothing. Layers can be removed to prevent perspiration and subsequent chill. Garments should be lightly woven, water repellent and keep air spaces near the body. Hooded garments will help trap warm air that can then be circulated to other parts of the body. Almost 90 per cent of the body’s heat is lost at the head. The hood should protect much of your face and cover your mouth to insure warm breathing and protect your lungs from the extreme cold air. Openings around the ankles, wrists, and waist should be close fitting to prevent loss of heated

| LOUISA’S LETTER Bd

Dear Louisa, I hear so many of the young people now-a-days complaining about not having this thing or that because the others they associate with have these, things. They think they have it hard but they have no idea of what being hard up means. If they had lived through the depression when one’s father came home week after week because his boss didn’t have the money to pay his help, and the mere fact of getting fifty cents for pleasure was impossible; they might realize what it means to be depressed. f Those people couldn’t leave their jobs because there were no other jobs to get and their only hope was to hang on and hope for better times. You may not know this but that was a desperate time. Gloria-Va.

air. Mittens, snug at the wrist, are much better protection than fingered gloves. Watch out for the wind. The same temperature will feel much colder on a’ windy day than on a still one. The stronger the wind, the more rapidly the body loses its heat. So if the temperature is above freezing but there is still a strong wind, be sure to bundle up. Cold weather also puts extra stress on you and your appearance, but with care you dan protect your skin. Hot, dry rooms draw out the skins moisture faster than it can be replaced. Use a moisturizing cream to form ’ a barrier against the atmosphere whether indoors or out. After a bath, massage the body Witjh a good skin lotion. Do not bathe in too warm of water as this x will also rob the skin of the much needed moisture. Before leaving the house, protect your face, ears and hands by covering them as much as possible. Exposure to cold and rapid temperature changes can produce large blood vessels or broken capillaries on the face, especially under the nose. During these cold days, be good to yourself and your body. Keep warm and protect your skin by wearing the proper protective clothing. ’Julie Heil, Garry Conrady plan wedding Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Heil, Syracuse, have announced the approaching marriage of their daughter, Julie, to Garry Conrady, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eldo Conrady, North Webster.

Answer: 1 know all about it. I, too, lived through the depression when bills were not paid and a dollar bill seemed like ten. But there were many fine people in that era-the grocers and storekeepers who extended credit to people for hundreds of dollars. Most of them got their money eventually but it took a lot of faith in ones fellow men to do this. Old dresses were made over. Cuffs and collars on shirts were turned, hose were darned and many people ’ate very simple fare. But they lived through it. Times have changed and 1 trust that our youngsters will never have to live through such years. Louisa. Address letters: Louisa, Box 532. Orangeburg. S.C. 29115
