Girl Scouts Enjoy
New Home At Lake
Mr. Weckesser’s Gift Draws
High Praise From |
Campers
J
Wildwood, the newly acquired home
of Wyoming Valley Girl Scouts, is now
open for use of the girls. The beautiful
building, donated by F. J. Weckesser,
is now being used almost every day
by the enthusiastic campers and their
leaders. Located on the Southern part
of the Lake, Wildwood is an ideal loca- |
tion for the girls. ]
The spacious former home of Mr.
‘Weckesser consists of a very large
parlor adjoined by a good sized din-
.ing room. The kitchen alone, located
directly in back of the dining room, is,
as large as any hotel kitchen. The sec- |
ond story of the building boasts of |
eight large and airy bedrooms, with
accommodations for twenty five per-
interior of the
house is finished in a very beautiful
rustic style. The walls bear paintings
of wild life and animal studies. The
exterior finish of the house is that of a
log-cabin, having little indication of
long usage.
Surrounding Wildwood, are many
old and noble-looking pine and spruce
trees. The lawn, encircling the build-
ing, although not in very good condi-
tion now, is being cared for and pro-
mises to be in perfect shape by next
summer. Flowers galore provide the
girls with plenty of plant life to study.
The house is not the only boast of
the Scouts. The beautiful boat house!
‘now being used very much by the |
girls in their swimming parties is per- |
haps the most beautiful on the Lake.
Lately buoys have been placed to mark |
off the safe sections for the vet in- |
experienced swimmers. Along with the |
boat house should be mentioned the
large garage and the barn. When too |
many girls are booked to stay overs
night, cots are placed in thése two
buildings and provide ample protection |
from the elements for the Scouts and
their superiors.
Mr. and Mrs. German, caretakers of
the estate, have no easy job on their
hands, What with fifty girls trying to
have the fun of their lives, without
making too little noise? The girls have
no life of luxury at their mew home,
however. As Mr. German said, “They
have to do what's to be done.” The
girls eat meals cooked by themselves,
enjoy a blazing fire in one of the large
fire places from their own fire wood,
and sleep upon beds made for the)
night by themselves. The chores are |
not shirked, however, but done in a
willing and understanding way.
To provide all scouts of Wyoming
Valley with the use of the new home,
ley ‘Scouts, is having the time for each
troop or troops booked in such a way
as to please all and offend none, if that
is possible.

“COWBOY BILL”, INJURED IN FIRST
DIVE, TO REPEAT STUNT ON SUNDAY
By JOSEPH OLEKSIW
Several thousand thrill-hungry people -were at the Picnic Grounds last
Sunday to witness the spectacular motorcycle dive by “Cowboy” Bill Hubbard,
dare-devil supreme. 4
The dive, scheduled for two thirty, did not come off ’til Ithree, due to an un-
avoidable delay in getting the motor started. When the motor was finally
started, Bill rode down the runway at a fast speed until he left the run-way
and flew through the air into the water. The motor, due to a bad carburetor,
stalled at the end of the runway and caused Bill to land face first, thereby
hurting his face slightly. The football jToutine work. But again that is not
