Girl Scout News
BOBBIE CANNON, Scribe
We are having fun here at Girl
Scout Camp. We have been going
on hikes, and swimming. We give
plays every night.
We initiated the new girls on
Tuesday, then the new girls played
a trick on us Wednesday and in
itiated us.
We help our counselors with
the cooking and washing dishes.
We also take our turn and play
like we are Bronson or Pioneer
Water works, and carry our own
water up the hil and dump it
into the barrel.
We have gone swimming every
day even though there is still
some snow up the river. We think
it’s warm. Then we’ve gone on
long hikes. We are also doing
some hand work now which we
hope\ to sell at our annual sale.
We’re making belts and pot hold
ers and some willow brooms and
things to stir powdered milk and
gravy with to make them smooth.
Mrs. Handeland is from Norway
and she has taught us how to
make them.
But what we like best of all
is the good food we get. And some
of you kind folks at home bring
or send us such wonderful treats
we sure appreciate all you do
and thank you very much.
We run our own canteen and
that’s a sweet time for us. We
never go to sleep without a good
night story and a hug and a kiss,
so we feel almost like we’re at
home.
Counselor are Mrs. K. Hande
land and Mrs. J. Matson and the
girls at camp are:
Edna Johnson, Barbara Mays,
Jimmie Mays, Bunny Doyle, An
geline Outwater, Lillian Outwater,
Mary Jean Longley, Clarice
Hardy, Mina Tungwenuk, Rose
Marie Cavota, Suzanne Fager
strom, Gladys Walker, Bobbie

Chances are a good argument
could be started by anyone who
said food costs less today than
it did in the not-so-palmy days
of mid-thirties.
While price tags were much
lower in those days, they didn’t
tell the whole story. The value
of money changes. The only real
measure is how much work the
average consumer has to do to
earn enough to buy his food, so
says a special report from the
Agricultural Department of the
Chamber of Commerce of the
United States.
Take the basic food, bread, for
example. In 1935 a loaf of bread
may have cost less in pennies
than it does today, but the aver
age factory worker had to work
nine minutes to buy that loaf. In
1953, the same worker could buy
a loaf of bread, improved by en
richment with essential vitamins
and minerals, in less than six
minutes, the National Chamber
points out.
This reduction is found
throughout ‘the range of com
monly-used foods, and is re
fleeted in the overall average, in
1935 the average factory worker
with two dependents spent about
a third of his income for food;
in 1953 the same worker spent
less than one-fifth, or 19 per
cent, of his income on the food
bill.
“There’s entirely too much
fuss about the price of food and
too many attempts to arouse
consumer antagonism against
the farmer,” the report said. It
pointed out that food prices to
a certain extent are due to price
supports, but even with this, the
worker still does less work today
to pay for his food.
The reduction in prices is due
to improved technology, the re
port continues. Newer and bet
ter ways of doing things enable
the farmer and the processors
to turn out food at lower costs.
Food costs may seem too
high, but they’ve never been
lower. The facts show that the
American consumer is getting
the biggest bargain ever in food
—and in a greater variety of
better foods, the Chamber says.
Security Review of Case
Of Oppenheimer Done To
Head Off Possible Probe
WASHINGTON, UP) — Congres
sional sources said today one rea
son the administration decided to
conduct a security review of
atomic scientist J. Robert Oppen
heimer was to head off a possible
congressional probe.
William L. Borden wrote the
FBI on Nov. 7, 1953, after re
signing as executive director of
the Senate-House Atomic Energy
Committee, that his study con
vinced him Oppenheimer “more
probably than not ... is an agent
of the Soviet Union.” The letter
was made public Tuesday night
in the transcript of the Oppen
heimer hearings before a special
three-man review board. Many
scientists who testified called Op
penheimer, a principal developer
of the atomic bomb, both loyal
and an excellent security risk.
Informed congressional sources
who declined to be quoted by
name said copies of Borden’s let
ter came into possession of in
vestigating committees headed by
Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) and Jen
ner (R-Ind).
The informants said some con
gressmen feared any Capitol Hill
probe might throw the case into
public “partisan politics” and that
they led a backstage move to
place it before a special board.

Science Writer Recounts
20 Years of “Miracles”
Nine chances out of 10, the next
prescription your doctor writes
could not have been filled as re
cently as 1935—because it will
call for one or more drugs then
unknown.
The revolution brought about in
the science of medicine by the
drug discoveries of the last two
decades — with the new. knowl
edge of the human organism that
has come with them—is the sub
ject of a new bogk “The Science
Book of Wonder Drugs” (Franklin
Watt, $2.95) by Donald G. Cooley.
Mr. Cooley, Minnesota-born, na
tionally known as a science writer,
is a specialist in translating the
fascinating lore of the scientist
clearly and dramatically into' lay
man’s language. He is the author
of two other books pertaining to
science and medicine and hun
dreds of magazine articles, and he
is managing editor of “Your
Health” magazine.
The drugs about which he
writes, and which have saved un
told lives and millions upon mil
lions of dollars in the cost of ill
ness, are the major “miracle
drugs,”—the sulfas, the antibiotics
the cortical and sex hormones, the
vitamins and the “lesser miracles”
that treat only one or a few dis
ease conditions.
Mr. Cooley employes anecdotes
to enliven his 246-page “history
of mircles.”
