PAGE 4, KINGS MOUNTAIN MIRROR, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1972 'b Women’s Editor..^via Holmes Walking outdoors alter dark last week I was observing the occa sional glow of fireflies when I was reminded of a similar occasion last summer. The family was camping for the weekend and It was during the month of May. After darkness fell and before lanterns were lit, we were entertained by the sight of many shooting stars. Away from the city with Its lights and distractions, one becomes aware of the heaven s and the magnificence of the constellations. Quite unexpectedly I became aware of something glowing in the dark just above ground level. Dimmer than the glow of fireflies and more blueish in color, something was glowing quite steadily and whatever it was, there were quantities of them. Investiga tion showed that the glowlngs followed along the path of a small creek and they were about knee to waist high moving steadily and glowing steadily. It was not the brilliant on/off glow of a fire fly. Finally, a specimen was captured with cupped hands. It was a small fly and the glowing seemed to emanate from its wings during flight. Later I gave the specimen to a biologist friend but we still have no Identification of the species. Later on that summer we were camping again. This time we were at the beach-at Jekyll Island, Georgia to be precise. While hunting for sand dollars in the sea at low tide we collected some toadstool tvpe sea plants which we placed in a bucket of sea wa ter. Later on as darkness fell, we were examining these sea pla nts and we observed that whenever we touched them they glowed. By running a finger across the top of a plant we created a path of luminescence that glowed and then rapidly faded. We were a- gain unable to identify the species. This was not surprising be cause we only had the scantest of reference books. Watching the fireflies last week reminded me of the summer of ’71. It was a luminous summer for our family. We are still hoping for Identification of the glowing fly. There is always the remote possibility that the species is an undiscovered one. It that proves true, maybe we would have the opportunity to ^ve It a name. The word ‘bobble’ in reference toan English policeman derives from Sir Robert Peel who was founder of the modern police force In the British Isles. Dressed in dark blue uniforms, hard helmets and carrying folded rain wear over their shoulders these genial, gunless policemen patrol a downtown beat on foot.

A special day camp took place last week at Camp Ro tary. It was organized by the Pioneer Girl Scout Council. This day camp was different because the participants were not Girl Scouts, they were un- derpriveleged girls from all parts of Gaston County. Ap proximately one hundr^ and fifty girls attended the camp on a dally basis and the girls were recommended for the e:q)erience by theDepartment of Social Servicesand Comm unity Action. This is the fifth consecutive year that the Girl Scouts have organized a "Ha rd-To-Reach’ ’ Day Camp. For the volunteers working at camp, the week is one of much hard work and effort but the end result is always worthwhile. Local Senior Scout Hetty Cox says she’s ready to go back next year. Hetty worked with a group of 37 Cadette age girls in her unit. These girls are from 7th, 8th and 9th grade. Het ty’s sister Cathy and Jane Talbert also from Kings Mou ntain worked in a unit with 19 14 Attend Newcomers Meeting The Newcomers Club met on Tuesday, August 8th and there were fourteen members in at tendance. Sylvia Holmes gave a slide presentation other re cent trip to England. The club is making plans to hold a Bri dge Benefit to be held at the Community Center on Tues day, October 10th in order to raise funds for the club pro ject of buying more children’s books for the Mauney Memor ial Library, The Newcomers Club cordiidly invites all new resident wives in Kings Mou ntain to attend club meetings which are held on the second Tuesday night every month. Club president is Mrs. Robert Lee (Mary Wade) Smith. College To Present Drama Junior age girls (4th, 5th and 6th graders). On waterfront duty was Susan Goforth, Swi mming is the most popular activity at camp. One major problem is securing swim suits tor the girls and then en couraging them to overcome fear of the water. The majo rity of campers make meas urable progress during a week of swimming instruc tions. Hetty reported that her group thoroughly enjoyed lea rn^ nuicrame. They also enjoyed the two meals cooked outdoors but no one wanted to take part in the clean up ac tivities afterwards. Hiking to the top of Crowders Mou ntain was another highlight of the week. Cathy Cox says that her unit experienced the most excitement when a snake was discovered! All the camp leaders reported that discipline was hard to maintain and occasional ligh ting would have to be stopped. Despite these kind of draw backs, all the volunteers a- gree that the effort is most worthwhile and that campers gain untold benefits from a week of Girl Scouting in the out-of-doors.
