GIRL SCOUTS VACATION AT CAMP WILDWQQP

Going to b e a u t i f u l Camp Wlldwood, the G i r l Scout Camp located on the banks of the Molalla r i v e r has been the h i g h l i g h t i n t h i s summers' vacation f o r a number of fortunate Vanport g i r l s . There, g i r l s of both G i r l Scout (10 to I S years) and Brown­i e age (S to 10 y e a r s ) , have experienced the t h r i l l of going swimming every day, evenings under the s t a r s , going on nature h i k e s , and le a r n i n g i n t e r e s t i n g c r a f t s .

Mrs. Decie H i l l and Mrs. Hazel Hud­son, co-leaders of Brownie troop #SU at MacArthur school, report that four of t h e i r Brownies had t h i s wonderful exper­ience t h i s summer. Franchot Hudson, Holly H i l l , Joyce Hickman and Grace Brown a l l know the Joy of a week at Camp Wlldwood. Brownies u s u a l l y go for one week sessions and G i r l Scouts for two weeks, but Holly H i l l , who proved such a good camper l a s t year, Just returned from her second week there t h i s summer. Mrs. Hudson's two other daughters also enjoyed sessions at Camp Wlldwood t h i s summer. S y l v i a Hudson, be t t e r known to her f r i e n d s as Judy, from Mrs. Viviano's G i r l Scout troop, was there for two weeks i n J u l y , and Martha Ann Hudson, from Mrs. Neufer's Brownie troop, went fo r a week at Brownie Camp. Beverly Snider, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth &iider, though not a member of a Vanport G i r l Scout troop t h i s past year, also went to Camp Wlldwood t h i s summer.

I t i s the opinion of Mrs. H i l l and Mrs. Hudson that more Scout leaders should become acquainted with the wonderful advan­tages Camp Wlldwood o f f e r s to g i r l s . I t r e a l l y must be seen to be appreciated, they say.

This year the G i r l Scout council ex­tended a l l leaders an i n v i t a t i o n to v i s i t the camp and see i t i n operation. Leaders v i s i t i n g days were on Wednesday, J u l y 16, and Wednesday, August 13. Decie H i l l and Hazel Hudson took advantage of t h i s opport­u n i t y and drove out there J u l y 16. That date was while t h e i r daughters were at camp and they reported that they wouldn't have missed the t r i p for anything. They only regretted that more Soout l e a d e r s from Vanport as well as Portland didn't oome out there at that time.

Helen D. Morris Voice of Vanport Force and Broadacre Vanport, Oregon Dear Helen:

Due to l a c k of p u b l i c I n t e r e s t and help with t h i s p u b l i c a t i o n I have decided to r e s i g n my p o s i t i o n of e d i t o r on the VOICE of Vanport. I f e e l that I do not have time now to devote to do t h i s Job i n the manner which i t should be done.

I s i n c e r e l y hope that your next e d i t o r r e c e i v e s more cooperation than I have i n the past.

S i n c e r e l y yours, Johnny R awlings

OPEN LETTER Portland Traction Company Pub l i c R e l a t i o n s Department Portland, Oregon

Gentlemen: You have for some time been a-

l i e n a t i n g a l o t of f r i e n d s i n Vanport and i n the l a s t month or so, t h i s an­imosity toward your Company has been i n c r e a s i n g very rapidly due to the very poor se r v i c e we are r e c e i v i n g .

During the war we could under­stand the use of emergency equipment, although even at that time I t was very d i f f i c u l t to understand why you should take advantage of us to the extent of charging f u l l ten cents f a r e without t r a n s f e r p r i v i l e g e s . T h i s made i t very d i f f i c u l t f o r a great many people l i v i n g i n Vanport and s t i l l does. With the end of the war and with most of the war time equipment very much shot from hard usage, we have been given the o l d Reo buses with no r e a r e x i t , broken seats, and you have not even taken the trouble to repaint and reupholster these buses. Most of the buses look aS though they had never been cleaned, e i t h e r outside or i n s i d e , since they have been put i n use. On top of a l l t h i s , our c h i l d r e n have been forced to pay a f u l l ten cents f a r e i n order to go to school, which i s a decided outrage.

I f you think t h i s i s a good method to use to put i n t o e f f e c t i n ­creased r a t e s which you are asking f o r , you may be i n t e r e s t e d to know that the Vanporters almost to a person would, i f given a chance, vote down any I n ­crease whatsoever to your Company, and i f f a c t , would ask that r a t e s be reduced. I f you would give us better equipment, b e t t e r s e r v i c e , cleaner buses, we would be more w i l l i n g to work with you and i f you could see your way c l e a r to give us t r a n s f e r p r i v i l e g e s , we would s t i l l be glad to pay you the ten cents f a r e .

Perhaps you do not care what type of s e r v i c e you give Vanport be­cause you may s t i l l be under the im­pression that a l l Vanport people are t r a n s i e n t and of tenement house type i n the lower income and inteligenoe bracket. I t might s u r p r i s e you to know that a very large percent of Vanport people are i n n e i t h e r one of these brackets, that they have been i n Vanport from two to f i v e years and cannot leave because of excess r e n t s i n Portland. You w i l l f i n d doctors, lawyers and executives of a l l types l i v i n g i n Vanport and most of the un­d e s i r a b l e portion we had during the war has l e f t . I f you do not take these

The story i s about a horse loved,by m i l l i o n s and a man who thought love could make a horse win races. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Truly one of the most wonderful p i c ­t u res to come out of Hollywood i s "Mir­acle on 34th St." The a l l - s t a r c a s t I n ­cludes Maureen O'Hara, John Payne, and Edraond Gwenn.

The story deals with the feud be­tween Macy's and Gimhel's department s t o r e s i n New York and a l i t t l e g i r l ' s d i s b e l i e f I n Santa Claus.

"Ah, yes, my sweet. Thou w i l l en­joy the cinema, " P e r i l s of Pauline," r e ­cently playing at "Ye Olde Cinema House."

So would read a movie review of the e a r l y 1900's. But s t i l l , the movie i s very funny, dealing with P e a r l White, famous stunt lady of the screen. Her movies, love l i f e , and tragedies are part of the p i c t u r e .

You w i l l probably enjoy " P e r i l s of Pauline" very much. RADIO PERSONALITIES

"SQUEAKY SEZ" Remember our J u b i l e e Day? I had a

midget racing c a r on e x h i b i t i o n and asked a l l who were i n t e r e s t e d to come to Comm­unity Building #1 and get i n s t r u c t i o n on how to make them.

They're made, and the time has come fo r our races. There w i l l be about nine r a c e s , with boys from s i x to eight and eight to twelve p a r t i c i p a t i n g .

T r i a l runs were held August 4 . Johnny Gamache, Tommy Romero, E r l l n Wii­t a l a , William W i i t a l a , Stanley Bennett, Joe Bennett, and Charles Jordan were par­t i c i p a n t s . Highlight of the day was B i l l y W i i t a l a who drove h i s red Jacket a winner three out of four races.

L i t t l e E r l i n W i i t a l a did a splendid "crash" Job on a b i c y c l e that happened to get i n h i s path. He expertly handled h i e car and continued on with the run.
