Camp Minnehaha News

Miss Evelyn Haynes is again a part of Camp Minnehaha after her stay in one of the large northern camps, at Youngstown, Ohio.

Camp Fire girls from Charlotte arrived in camp on last Monday. The Charlotte group is like many other groups of girls, staying only one week at camp Contributions along the camp effort in nature came from the Blue Birds for the last issue of Camp Life: Misses Alice Groves, Clara Stevenson, Elizabeth Favor, Margaret House, Gertrude House, Harriet Roxby, Sylvia Berman, Virginia Naylor and Marie Tate. All these little folks have learned the three ways of distinguishing the moth and butterfly families, and many other interesting facts of nature.

Miss Mary Frost of Washington is now at camp for her month’s vacation.

Miss Dorothy Smith of Titusville, Fla., leaves camp after a pleasant stay of three weeks.

After a six weeks’ stay at camp, Miss Margaret Conklin of Lotus, Fla., left Tuesday for her home. Miss Conklin has spent three entire seasons at Camp Minnehaha, and campers regret to see her leave before the end of the season this time.

Miss Mary Guilmartin is following the example set by “The Carolina Playmakers” by making the native plays, folk songs, folk lore, games, etc., used by the girls in their much enjoyed “Dramatic Hour.” The girls in this interest have made visits to Mrs. Connor who is an expert in the art of weaving mountain rugs. Now the anticipation of weaving their own rugs on the camp’s own loom has grown. One mountain school was kind enough to allow the girls to visit them, at which time all present joined in some of the popular folk games.

An informal “Stunt Night” was given last Wednesday to honor the Charlestown guests, Mr. and Mrs. James Robertson, Mr. Maynard Robertson, and Miss Katherine Robertson.

Miss Saint Lo Andrews has returned to her home in Charleston after a pleasant stay in the senior rest camp for girls and older women.

Tiyaga, the popular Camp Fire wigwam, has been voted the most efficient tent in providing impromptu entertainment for “Stunt Night.”

A number of Blue Birds and Camp Fire girls spent the night in Hendersonville on Monday night to take part in the pageant, “The Hendersonville of Tomorrow.” The night of camp this time was an indoor camp in the Hendersonville high school building.

Among the events of the coming week the trips to Chimney Rock and little Pisgah. Bat Cave will also come to those who have not had this visit.

Mr. Laughter Say Rumor Is Untrue

Replying to a news items that appeared in the Hendersonville News dated July 31st, in which it was stated that I was charged with complicity in stealing a Ford automobile from Eugene Williams and James Duff of Hendersonville, and being at large in Polk County, I wish to state that said news item was absolutely false in every particular, that I am at my home in Mill Springs, Polk County, and have been there all time. I am still at my home and can be seen at any time.
