They left by Bus Friday after noon November 17 and returned Sunday afternoon November 19. The troop was working for their Camp Award, which re quires at least ten days and nights in a chartered year to win this award. The troop now has 11 days and nights to their credit. The troop win ning this award must also have at least 50 per cent of the troop present on the days and nights of camping out. There were three other troops also at the camp and they join ed together in many of their activities. The troop camped in the cabin known as the An derson cabin which is one of the better cabins. There were no lights furnished by the camp nor was there any in side fire place for heat. This put the Scouts to a great test of being able to look out for themselves. Naturally, the Scouts obeying the Scout mot to, “Be Prepared” they were fully dressed with plenty oi clothing .sleeping bags and blankets. So every one did sleep warm and comfortable. Each Scout was to bring their own food and were allowed to join with another Scout or Scouts as they desired. Saturday was used to great advantage to pass tests and to work for tests. Many merit was of white bridal roses. Her honor attendant, Miss Ginger Kirkland of Newberry, wore a yellow sheath dress with matching accessories and carried a bouquet of yellow mums and miniature ivy. James Edward Sheriff, of Greenville served as best man. Gene Smith of Newberry was alcolyte. Mr. Charles Huffstetler, or ganist, and Miss Kiki Kirkland, vocalist, provided the wedding music. Mrs. Hunter is a 1967 grad uate of Newberry College where she received a B.A. de gree in English. She is pres ently a member of the faculty of Clinton High school. Tests were passed in cooking as well as Second and First Class Test in cooking. There were two different hikes made, one group to the Old Bridge and the other to The Green ville Water Shed. This hike proved to be very enjoyable as they were shown over the fil tering plant by the persons in charge. Instructions were given in Archery by ‘Buddy’ Summer a Jr. Asst. Scoutmaster. In structions were also given by the Scoutmaster in Marksman ship. Six Scouts qualified for marksmanship. Scoutmaster Summer has much good help in four Jr. Asst. S.

The four troops pres ent at the camp met on Sunday morning at the museum and marched single file to the Camp Chapel for Sunday school and devotions. On the return home they stopped by the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Stanley and presented Mrs. Stanley with a portrait of Mr. Stanley. Mr. Stanley was the Executive for 20 years.

Woman’s Club hears talk by Dr. Buckley The Woman’s Club met Nov. 9 at the home of Mrs. J. J. Chappell who opened the meeting with the collect. Mrs. F. Scott Elliott made a re port on the Northern District Conference. As a result of dis cussion at the Conference, the Woman’s Club was asked to give books to libraries as a community project. To initiate this project, Mrs. Elliott is do nating in honor of the New berry Woman’s Club a 1962 copy of “Who’s Who In Am erica” to the College library. The Club thanked Mrs. Elliott for her courtesy and voted to accept the proposed project. The club members were invited to attend the Book Fair at the Newberry Academy which was held to stimulate interest in reading and to begin a fund for a library at the Academy. Mrs. Fred Dominick, prog ram chairman, introduced Dr. Margaret Buckley who then gave a delightful and colorful discussion of her subject “The Impressionists.” This group was a relatively small group of artists who were held together with the definite purpose of utilizing color and light in a way never attempted before and of painting nature not as it actually is but as it impress es the artist. Dr. Buckley dis played copies of paintings by these artists to illustrate the type of work done by them. Impressionism became a force about 1897, having been es tablished by a few artists who were born between 1832 and 1864 among whom are Edouard Manet, Hilaire Degas, Camille Pissaco, Auguste Renoir, Tou louse Lautrec, Claude Monet, and Mary Cassatt. Manet was the leader of the original move ment and was an important man because of his discoveries regarding the exact value of color tones and the relations of light and shadow. His oest paintings was the “Bar at the Folies Bergeres.” He, like the other Impressionists, took his subjects from ordinary, every day scenes or happenings. Re noir was fond of people and es pecially liked to paint women and children. He used rainbow colors and gave a sense of motion by using a warm sen- sous palette for the movement of leaves, water, and the hum an figure. Monet did away with dark and substituted the light colored shadow’. Light shadow, bright colors, and broken tones of colors gave fine atmosph eric effect. His pictures, as well as those of other impressionists had no formal composition or detail. In order to get the var ious effects of light, he painted many pictures of the same object such as the 26 views of Rouen Cathedral and 16 views of Waterloo Bridge. He always completed his work outdoors. Degas liked a combination of green and orchid. His paintings were of dancers, racers, and nudes done in oil or pastel and featuring open background spaces. He used black only for emphasis. Toulouse Lautrec, who admired Degas, was a print maker and did much com mercial work. He employed bold planes of color and was likely to tilt his space upward. The unusual spatial elements imparted vitality to his pos ters. He painted the cabaret, theatre, dance halls, and cir cus. “At The Moulin Rouge” is one of his famous dance hall paintings. Mary Cassat, an Am erican, of Pittsburg and Phila delphia, did many paintings of mothers and children. The Impressionists and their work were disliked by the French Academy and were not accepted as they made their changes in painting because they strayed from the accust omed form and order. They were considered radical and dangerous. However, they brought to art new interest in light, the use of new pigments which were pigments at high intensity, and an unusual com bination of colors.” State head of Auxiliary speaks here The regular meeting of the American Legion Auxiliary was held on November 2nd at four p.m. in the home of Mrs. R. B. Baker. Mrs. Ralph P. Baker and Mrs Walter Summer, were associate hostesses.. The meeting was called to order by the President, Mrs. M. F. Bowler. After the ritual istic service and the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, a short business meeting was held. The highlight of the meet ing was the inspiring talk by the Department President, Mrs. R. M. Stork of Columbia. She was introduced by Mrs. W. Roy Anderson, who gave many in teresting facts in the life of Mrs. Stork. I quote, “I wa? born in Vienna to a Swiss fath er and a Viennese mother. I lived there until 1942 when I was called to serve in the Ger man army. (The Germans oc cupied Austria in 1939) when my parents refused, I wound up in a Girl’s camp on the Austrian - Hungarian border. There the life was very stren uous.” Mrs. Stork found work during the army occupation with the 26th Infantry Divis ion and with the European Ex change Services She met her husband in 1951. He came for his second assignment to Ger many during the Korean con flict. He was an officer and had come through my office. Later he was transferred and after a year he returned to the United States. We correspond- for two years. Then in 1954 he returned as a civilian and we got married. She received her American citizenship in 1959. Mr. Stork, a native Col umbian, is now retired and they are living in Columbia. Mrs. Stork spoke on all phases of the Auxiliary work. She would like to see American ism emphasized in the homes and schools. She also spoke on membership, urging the wives, mothers, daughters and sisters of Vietnam veterans get inter ested and help with the task that is ours. I quote, “I think Americans are aware of the situation in the world today and I think Americans appre ciate their country. But you have not been faced with living under a government where you can hardly do anything. It makes you appreciate America more. I hope that your child ren and my children never have to go through those things.” After her talk, she was pre sented a Newberry plate by Miss Grace Summer. Mrs. Stork very graciously accepted the gift as a memento of her visit to Newberry. She was accompanied by Mrs. J. J. Bullard, Post Presi dent of the Department of South Carolina. The meeting was closed by the members singing “God Bless America. A social hour was then en joyed. Delicious refreshments were served from a beautifully decorated table, carrying out the Thanksgiving theme. NEW ADDRESSES Mr. and Mrs. Jay Semel are now making their home at 1210 Harper street.
