August, although not at the same
time, according to plans an
nounced by the Extension Office
this week. The program opens

4-H camp lasting from 2 p.m.
Aug. 2 to 2 p.m. Aug. 5. As the
kids check out mothers will

camp at 2 p.m. on Aug. 5.
Four-H girls and boys, in order
to be eligible for camp, must

$9. This fee may be paid to Mrs.
Bernice Johnson at the Exten

Four-H campers are asked to

slacks or overalls and shirts,
warm coat or sweater and cap,
sleeping garments, underwear,
walking shoes, rubbers, swim
ming suit, toilet articles and
towels, mosquito dope, a drink
ing cup, pencil, notebook, scis
sors, camera, jack knife and
books to read.
The club members are sched
uled for a program of swimming,
music, games, craft, stunts and a
bug-hunting contest.
No schedule of activities has
been planned for the Homemak
ers group, since most club mem
bers have indicated they’d like
to spend the time just relaxing.
There will be craft classes for
those who want them.
Cost for the Homemaker’s
camp is to be about $4. Campers
are asked to bring blankets, a
swimming suit, toilet articles,
reading material, mosquito dope
and glasses for etching, if they
plan to do craft work.
Homemakers also are asked to
register at the Extension Office.
Early registration is necessary in
order to complete plans for the
camp.
