DEFINITION OF
JUST WHAT THE IDEALS AND
TEACHINGS OF THIS SPLEN-
DID ORGANIZATION
MEAN TO ALL
Mount Joy has had groups of
Camp Fire Girls for some time,
who are actively engaged in some
of the numerous activities of the
organization. Most people have a
very hazy conception of what it
means to be a Camp, Fire girl, and,
in fact, there are more people in
Lititz who have never even heard of
such a thing than there are those
who know anything whatever about
it. For the information of those
who desire to be beter informed the
following sketch of the program and
aims of the Organization is pub-
lished.

AUTO ACCIDENTS
DURING THE WEEK
BOILING SPRINGS PEOPLE UP-
SET THEIR CAR IN EFFORT
TO PREVENT COLLISION
WITH ANOTHER CAR
There were several automobile ac-
cidents in this vicinity during the
past week but we are pleased to say
no one was seriously injured.
Their Car Upset
Mr. and Mrs. Otto of Boiling
Springs, figured in an automobile ac-
cident east of town Sunday evening
when their car overturned in trying
to evade another car which ran at
an angle around a car coming from
the opposite direction, directly into
the path of the Otto car. The acci-
dent occurred when Mr. Otto tried
to prevent running into the oncom-
ing car. The occupants of the over-
turned car were picked up by pass-
ing motorits and brought to the of-
fice of Dr. W. M. Thome here for
medical treatment. It was found
that they were not badly injured.
They were taken home by the per-
son who picked them up leaving the
wrecked car to be taken care of at
a local garage.
Auto Hit by Trolley
The following appeared in Monday
night’s Lancaster New Era:
The automobile of John Engle, of
Mt. Joy, was hit by a West Belt trol-
ley car on Columbia Avenue about
9:30 o’clock Sunday evening. In the
machine with him were Misses Mar-
ian Schaeffer and Grace Engle, and
Frank Green, of Elizabethtown. Mr.
Engle, driving westward, turned his
car aside to avoid another machine,
and went in front of the trolley car,
which operator J. E. Kuhns could
not stop in time to avoid a collision,
Auto and trolley car were both dam-
aged slightly but nobody was hurt.
