The purpose of the Camp Fire Organization for all girls from second grade through high school, is to make available in daily living nil pflliraiinnnl nnrl vnccon tional program, which will include activities designed to encourage the development of spiritual and ethical values; love of home and family; love of country and the practice of responsible citizenship; the formation of healthful habits, initiative, self reliance and satisfaction in work; the appreciation of beauty and outof-door living. "Our youth should come first. They are the most prized and precious possessions that we have as well as the future citizens of tomorrow", the director said when seeking adult leaders for encampment recently. In their efforts to gain additional adult lead ers they said, "we urge you to volunteer your services in guiding the program of this organization. Our program is now set up with a training committee which will provide training for you before you start as a leader and will be available throughout the year. Our children want and need your guidance and help in this important program. Please, if you can serve in a n y capacity, as sponsor, leaders, assistant leaders or in special training, for Petaga District, which is the Clinton Your Vote IS Important to Freedom Have you disfranchised yourself? Hundreds of South Carolinians do, in effect, each election year. They do it by failing to vote. They're too lazy, too indifferent, or "too busy" to spend the brief time and effort it takes to go to the polling booth. The result is that people are elected to office, and often the highest offices, by what amounts to minority vote. We all pay lip service to the right of free franchise. And that's as it should be? it is the greatest single defense we have against dictatorship and political oppression. But it is meaningless unless the words are matched with deeds. The future of freedom depends on men and womon who will analyze candidates and platforms, choose those they think best capable of guiding the cities, counties, state and nations destinies in the stormy days that lie ahead ? and vote accordingly ED YOUR Mill area, please contact Mrs. Eva B.
