Dixie Lee Bair, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Bair, S. |
Barbara Street, and Barbara
Ann Thome, daughter of Dr.
and Mrs. R. M. Thome, Mariet-
ta street, were among eight Girl
Scouts of Lancaster County who
took part in a hike on the Ap-
palacian Trail.
The girls started last Monday
from Manada Gap, near Hersh-
ey, and walked approximately
131% miles over the trail. The
hike this year is a practice for
the national one which will be
held next year. Each girl car-
ried a pack weighing from 18 to
20 pounds. One mile of the
trail was over nothing but rock.
The girls’ destination was Rock-
ville, which is near Harrisburg.
Among the sights seen along the
way were two deer.
The two Mount Joy girls re-
ported weather conditions for
hiking were perfect, and gen-
eral conditions for hiking were
fair.
After arriving back in Lan-
caster County on Thursday, the
girls reported to the Girl Scout
headquarters in Lancaster and
were then given a radio inter-
view by Dorothy Stevens.
Dixie and Barbara are mem- |
bers of Girl Scout Troop #96 of
Mount Joy. They were accom-
panied on the trip by Mrs. Har-
old Billow of Mount Joy.

Easter Seals
Make Camping
Fun Possible
Summer time is a time for
fun for all youngsters, and crip
pled children are no different.
Thanks to Easter Seals, The
Pennsylvania Society for crip
p'ed Children & Adults, Inc
the Easter Seal Society - has
provided these handicapped
youngsters with a summer
camping program that they can
enjoy. Local children sponsored
by The Lancaster County Socie-
ty for Crippled Children and
Adults, Inc., through the Easter
Seal Fund, go either to Camp
Easter Seal at Laurel Hill State
Park near Somerset, or Camp
Daddy Allen in Hickory Run
State Park near White Haven.
Both camps accomodate over
100 youngsters and they remain
for 8 weeks.
Right now the camping sea
son is at its height. Children
are playing baseball, volleyball,
going swimming, hiking, fishing
and doing all of the things do
at camp. Some cannot run and
hike, but others do that for
them. There are crafts and out
door fun that keep all busy all
day long.
Camping for crippled chil
dren embraces all the fun of
any other camp; it is just modi
fied to the ability of these
youngsters. Three therapies are
carried on at camp - speech, oc
cupational and physical. Easter
Seals provide eight weeks of
recreation for handicapped chil
dren: eight weeks they might
never have otherwise.
