GIRL *COI T CAMP AT BALANCE
ROCK.
T o an idea! se’ting -lake, woods
and cabin, at Balance Rock, a happy
i.ni we'l planned Girl Scout camp was
he'd last week from Tuesday till Fri
day.
Sixteen scouts slept on the uppei
dek of the Kiwanis cabin and had
the dining room and indoor activities
on the lower floor.
An efficient group of counselors
were in charge Miss Mary Carter,
camp director. Miss Martel Gary, na
ture counselor. Miss Katherine Tur
ner. life savers and swimming coun
selor. Miss Garnett Myers, recreation
counselor, and Velma Johnson And
Elsie Powell, junior counselors in
swimming Mrs. Frank PoweH and
Mrs. O VV Knott, scout mothers, werr
camp dieticians, and the scouts voted
wholehearted approval of their ability
in this art.
Two Boy Scouts. Walter Brodie Bur
well, senior life saver, and Claude
Whaley w**re a fine addition to the
camp, bo'h in cooperation and pro
tection. They were fine examples of
scouting at its best.
A tegular Girl Scout camp schedule
was carried out. Divided into patrols
each with a name taken from nature,
the scouts started their camp ac
tivities with revilie at 7 00 a. m. and
went through until taps. Nature work,
swimming, first aid. and some hand
craft were the principal subjects ol
interest, and what is often considered
the unattractive side of camp cook
ing dishwashing and outdoor chores
was done in a happy spirit of co
operation.
Due to limited sleeping quarters,
it was regretted that more scouts
could not be among the listed camp
ers. But groups of scouts went out
on Wednesday and joined in the pro
gram.
The leaders W'to delighted over the
interest that the camp engendered
About forty interested friends visited
the ramp and enjoyed the camp fire
programs. The success of this camy
has madp both leaders and scouts
eager ami ambitious for a better and
bigger one in the same place next
year.
Th“ campers were ns follows: Elsie
Powell. Velma Johnson. Ann Watkins.
Elizabeth Toepleman. Elhe Smith.
Mary E. Povthress. Josephine Mar

Library Again
Sets New Mark
Again on last Saturday the H.
Perry Memorial Library set
a new high record for hooks bor
rowed in a single day. The number
was 431, which compared with the
Previous high mark, which was
made on September 3, two weeks
ago. when the figure was 492.
Heavy borrowings of hooks at
the week-end have grown to such
volume as to tax the facilities and
capacities of the IHirury organiza
tion, and are taken as an indica
tion of the widespread use of the
library's service.
COMPUIgOFTAIT
IS MOVING RAPIDLY
Henderson Township, White
And Colored, Has Been
Completed Already
Computing of the tax hooks for the
1932 levy has progressed to the point
'hat Henderson township, both white
and colored had been completed. That
represents nearly half of the entire
county, and the fact that that large
portion of the job has been completed
in a we'k after the fixing of the levy
:s considered assurance that the job
will be completed in time to permit
)t the books for 1932 to be trned over
-O the sheriff for collection by the
Board of County Commissioners at
their regular meeting for October on
‘he first Monday.
Henderson township is oniy one of
the nine in the county, but due to the
fact that it includes all individual and
corporate property in the city, it ia
by far the largest of the entire group,
and amounts to about half of the
county.
