Day Camp Ends At Girls’ Club; Was Big Success A successful day camp fcr girls was held during July at the Girls’ Club in Spray under direction of Lois Thomas and Anna Mae Tucker. Total attendance during the month was 353 with an aver age daily attendance of 18. Purpose of the planned recreational program was to afford wholesome recreation and training in the learning of a new hobby, new games, new songs, good manners, and health habits. Activities included papier mache puppetry, croquet, shuffleboard, ping- pong, horseshoes, and square dancing at the Girls’ Club. At the Y. M. C. A., there was basketball, baseball, bowling, and swimming. Movies and slide films on good health were shown under the direction of Miss Nettie Day, health educator of the Dis trict Health Department. The program was climaxed with a craft exhibit and amateur show on July 28. During the day camp, meals were served five days a week by Cecil Smith, maid at the Girls’ Club. The Art Of Getting Along “Sooner or later, a man, if he is wise, discovers that life is a mixture of good days and bad, victory and defeat, give and take. He learns that it doesn’t pay to be a tco sensitive soul; that he should let some things go over his head like water off a duck’s back. He learns that he who loses his temper usually loses out. “He learns that all men have burnt toast for breakfast now and then, and that he shouldn’t take the other fel low’s grouch so seriously. He learns that carrying a chip cn his shoulder is the easiest way to get into a fight. He learns that the quickest way to become unpopular is to carry tales and gossip about others. “He learns that most of the other fellows are as ambitious as he is, that they have brains as good or better, and that hard work, not cleverness, is the secret cf success. He learns to sympa thize with the youngster coming into the business because he remembers how bewildered he was when he first started out. “He learns that superiors are not monsters, but that they are usually pretty good fellows who have succeed ed through hard work and who want to do the right thing. He learns that folks are not any harder to get along with in one place than another, and that the ‘.getting along’ depends about ninety-eight per cent on his own be havior.”—From “Cooperation,” publish ed by Kimberly Clark Corp. MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1950 A . ■ r; \ A'* & im’ ■ TERRY MOORE With TERRY TOWEL:—Lovely Terry Moore of Columbia Pictures takes time out from movie making to relax at the beach. She’s shown with a large multicolor Fieldcrest beach towel. The beach towels are made in two styles at Fieldale. The style shown has four broad stripes, green, red, gold and blue. The colorful 36” by 72" beach towels have proved extremely popular. Some of the cam looms at the Towel Mill have been running them since January, with thousands having been made and sold so far this year. The Better We Produce The Better We Live Back in 1910, when a man left his home on Monday morning, he had a 58-hour work week before him. But over the years — as workers, business, and manufacturing methods all got more efficient — it took less and less working time to produce goods of all kinds. The result is that today the average work week has been cut to 40 hours. Therefore, 18 hours — more than two whole working days — are missing from a man’s work week. They have been transferred to the man himself •—• for leisure time. But that’s not the whole story. Back in 1910 the average household earned about $2,400 for its year’s work. Today, for a lot less work, it earns nearly twice that! And in dollars of the same pur chasing power, too. That’s THE AMERICAN ECONOMIC SYSTEM AT WORK. ★ No reason to scour a glass dish into which food has burned or stuck fast. Just soak the dish in water and bak ing soda.
