Plays Days
Both Intermediate and1
Brownie' Scouts have participât- !
od in Play Days recently. The
Intermediate Scouts spent the j
•;ind Several active games. The;
relay racing teams were evenly
matched and the score was 3-3 !
at the end of six races. A seventh i
φ ι ace was run off to break the '
tie and determine the winning :
team. At lunch time everyone '
joined in singing songs, hearing j
several stories and consuming ι
picnic lunches.
Learn to Tie Knots
After lunch each Scout was
given a length of rope. She
learned how to whip the ends of
the rope to keep them from un-1
raveling. She then learned to tie!
three interesting knots and the
uses for each knot. From knot-,
tying each Scout learned the first '
principles of lashing, a method 1
used to fasten sticwks together j
by binding with a cord. This ;
method avoids the use of nails '
;ind is used where a temporary I
fastening is desired, where it!
is desirable to spare a living1
tree or when it is desirable to j
- fiisiTiaiitle the object easily for
'•transporting to another site.
Lashing is a campcraft which
is necessary for enjoyable prim
itive camping, and it is one of
the crafts in which a good camp
er prides himself in being pro
Jicicnt. The rest of the afternoon
was spent in knot-tying and
lashing.
Brownie Play Day
Brownie Play Day began with
fi bucket brigade by means of ,
® which all of our newly-trimmed
shrubbery was watered. This
procedure was new to the
Brownies, and they all hoped
they would never have to douse
a fire by this method.
The rest of the morning was
given over to active games,
learning new songs and singing
old ones, and stories.
After lunch all of the Brownies
stretched out for a rest under
the trees in the yard. During the
rest a discussion of oak trees
was held, and leaves from sev
eral different types of oaks were '
examined to determine likeness
es and differences.
After another story, the
Brownies were supplied with
paper, scissors, paste, patterns
and old pieces of felt so that they
might construct pictures. A stiff j
breeze somewhat ham pered !
their activities, but also added
to the hilarity.
At 3 o'clock everyone enjoyed j
a cool drink and went home un- ;
til our next Play Day. |

by members of the First Meth
odist Church a few years back,

Louis Taylor. And along with it !
is a recipe for biscuits contribut-1
ed by Mrs. Clyde D. Liske. The j
