Lydia Day Camp Attracts 49 Campfire Girls The Lydia Campfire Girls organization completed its most successful day camp early in June with 49 girls taking part in the three days of activities at Lydia and 34 of these making the trip to Crescent Beach for three more days. The first three days were occupied w i t h recreation, swimming, outdoor crafts and creative arts. Leaders included Mrs. lone Wallace. George Fleming. Mrs. Sara Templeton. Mrs. Evelyn Roberts and Miss Mary Johnson, assisted by Ernestine Parrish. Betty Jean Meeks and Margaret Mitchell. A well planned program also was carried out during the three days the girls spent at the beach during which the girls cooked their own meals under adult supervision. Here is a typical menu for one day which gives an idea of the fine food which the girls enjoyed at the beach: Breakfast: orange juice, grits, bacon and eggs, toast and milk. Lunch: fried chicken, rice and gravy, slaw, bread, cake and tea. Supper: banana nut salad, butter thins, peanut butter sandwiches, deviled egg sandwiches, cup cakes and tea. Refreshments also were served twice a day. i^f y * J E Lydia's popular grocery man. Roy Owens is shown here with his three nieces.
