Girl Scouts Give Us the Word: Lots of Fun Things to Do by LINDA FAYE CALLICO'IT' Girl Scout Troop 527 (ll years old) Last June, the Girl Scouts of Troop No. 527 went camP– ing to a place called the "A" Frame. My mother and an– other mother went too. When we got there we walked from the gate to the "A" Frame cabin. The water there was pol– luted, When we finally got set up, we started cooking dinner. That night, some of the girls performed for us and the others told jokes or told scary stories. Bedtime was at 9:30 p.m. Then wehadwhisperingperiod until 10 and then song time until 10:20. The next morn– ing, we were awakened at 8:00. We saw snow and rain. We walked up to a cabin which was being torn down. We . sang taps in the rain there. When we got back to camp we started lunch and played around. After lunch, we walked to the place where we were to be picked up. We played around in the rain. When the mothers and fathers came to pick us up we got • into the car and sang and talked until we got to our school. by VERONICA KAR_PARICIUS Girl Scout Troop 527 12 years old March 21, 1968 The Oregon Advance/TIMES Page 9 Cooling Heels Chills Interest Girl Scouting is fun. I am proud to be a Girl Scout and in a way, 1 even feel lucky. There are many worlds of girl scouting. Some of the many are: the out of doors, the world of you, and the world of other people. Be-_ sides, the many worlds of girl scouting, there are many ac– tivities such as camping out, hiking, swimming and putting on plays or shows or else going in groups to see them. Girl scouting also includes going to the movies, visiting the telephone company and going to the zoo and there are so many more places to see. I think girl scouting is one of the best groups a girl could join. And I am very proud to say so. AProblem In Albina Empty and silent, these commercial buildings on WIiiiams Avenue north of Russell Street speak out loudly as an Albina problem. When business fell off, merchants began moving out. others followed, turning the area Into a target for vandals. Owned mostly by absentee landlords, the deserted build– ings are considered a block to growth In Albina. The job employment system that forces applicants to wait long periods of time between testing, test interpretation and trainings, keeps many persons who have been unem– ployed from becoming en– couraged about job-findin[!. This suggestion was made by Bill Baker, representing Portland Action Committees To[!ether (PACT), at a recent meeting of various agencies. He suggested that a solu– tion might be to find temporary jobs for those waiting to go into programs that require training. Neil Knepper of the Adult Opportunity Center said its program is to counsel per– sons who have had trouble finding work on their own. They are tested and then placed in various training programs. However, he said, therehas been difficulty in placing people in some of the classes including landscape gardening and food preparation. On the other hand, he said, there is a waiting list for clerical training.
