SUMMER CAMPING IMAGINATION — Throughout the vacation months, camps for both young girls and boys are activated throughout Southern California, with the Anaheim Girl Scout organization among the leader-units in this program. In above photo are seen a group of grammar school girls who are enthusiastic about their Girl Scout program. They had just completed enactment of one of their original scripts in which the hounds come upon a mother skunk and her "brood" and attempt to run them out of their home. This is one of the nature study programs directed by leaders. The "dogs" and their mistresses are to the left, with the girls acting roles of the skunks hovering near the mother at the right. (Bulletin photo) WHAT'S COOKIN' — Hungry from tromping over hillsides and through "not off-bounds" park areas, a unit of Girl Scouts (Brownies) sharing the recent day camp at Irvine Park gather about a hewn rock stove to prepare for "chow'time." At camp, each girl is equipped with her ditty bag holding necessary articles "for operation." At day camp, they not only revelled in the fun-periods, but participated in the various study and craft periods, all aimed at building good citizenship and understanding of one another. The camp was one of several planned throughout summertime for girls of all ages enrolled in the Scouting program. Leaders, well trained are in charge of the camps. (Bulletin photo) Plan Spectacular Fair Show; Top Musicians to Perform Brilliantly different night shows, reflecting the moods of American composers, have been programmed for the California State Fair and Exposition, scheduled Sept. 1 through 11; according to L. Bixby Jr., of Sacramento, president. The show will be a radical departure from those of the past few years. Stage settings will be eliminated, four top flight stars will use music of only one composer each, and there will be spectacular lighting, coupled to the State Fair racetrack lagoon and a nightly firework display. Every seat in the grandstand will be a good one. On stage will be the 50-piece Hollywood Bowl Pops orchestra. There will be a ballet of 18, and an additional 24 persons will per-featuring the works of Jerome Kern; Sept. 7-8, Paul Whiteman, conducting a George Gershwin program. Sept. 9-11, a star yet to be selected, will be a Cole Porter production. Acting as master of ceremonies for the entire 11 days will be Will Rogers, Jr. The team of Lewis and Young, together with Everett Fisch, their art director, has been hard at work for weeks on preliminary planning. Some of their ideas are nothing short of sensational. Lights, for example, are a key part of planning. "We're going to use a kind of a mood lighting patterned after the most modern Broadway ideas," Fisch said. "We'll have them in the lake, we'll have them embedded-in the stage, we're cross-lighting from the ling will be slightly different for each. Costuming, also to be spectacular, will be by Eduardo Miller. Miller has designed 45 gowns for the State Fair show. Some of these, for the dancers are patterned after the big moving skirts, played on by changing lights, with which the legendary Lole Fuller set Paris audences on their ears in the 1920s and which have been used in varying forms by some big shows since. One music critic, recently praised of the plans, described the coming show as "the freshest breeze to blow across the stage in years—maybe ever."

Since they first entered the for- Hold Second LTL Camp at Castaic By Social Callers BY ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP)—Well-dressed, attractive women walk into the women's prison in the heart of Manhattan frequently these days to pay some revolutionary social calls. Since they first entered the forbidding, seven-story brick building a year ago and waited in the lobby encircled with iron bars, these women have made possible more changes in prison routine than have any city law—the past decade. The women are housewives and a few professional women who call themselves "The Friendly Visitors." The first four, who answered a plea from Anna M. Kross, the city's first woman commissioner of prisons, brought in 40 more. They must be "good listeners, not do-gooders," Alice R. Burke, a pretty woman lawyer from Virginia who is the prison's new director of programming, explained. Only a few of the nearly 50 women now active call regularly on the girls in prison. The others work behind scenes. The Purpose "The purpose of our friendly visitors is to make these girls realize there is someone who really is interested in them," Miss Burke said. "We want the person who can sit quietly and listen and inspire confidence." They discovered early that the girls responded better if the friendly visitors also were reasonably attractive and smartly dressed. "These are girls off the city streets," Dr. Rose Franzblau, a psychologist who works with the 'Friendly Visitors,' explained. "They think they're pretty sophisticated, and they immediately resist advice from a woman they recognize as badly dressed." The prison houses girls for as long as three years, although it originally was built as a detention prison for woman awaiting trial. It is wedged in between city streets in Greenwich Village with no yard. The roof is the only recreation area. "We played our role by ear at first," Franzblau explained. "We didn't know where to begin." Listened To Girls They discovered, from listening to the girls, that one of the first things that concerned them was their appearance and what they would wear when they left the prison. City law requires only that the prison provide the prisoner with 25 cents when she leaves. The woman volunteers canvass dry cleaning establishments until they found one with hundreds of garments never called for. They bought them, "three garments for a dollar." Now the wardrobe department has grown until it is a neatly catalogued "store" with complete outfits in all sizes. They got extra sewing machines for the prison so the girls could fit their prison uniforms and learn to make clothes for themselves. Other women's organizations heard about the work and began to help. The Lucy Stone League recently donated a new library, including two volumes of "Power of positive Thinking," by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. A former nutritionist with the Red Cross is teaching girls how to prepare and serve food; husbands of the volunteers are raising money to outfit a beauty shop in the prison where girls also can learn to be beauty operators; typewriters are being installed so girls might learn to be office typists. Hold Second LTL Camp at Castaic The Loyal Temperance Legion of Southern California held its second camp of the season at Canyon Christian camp, Castaic, with an attendance of 63. Campers aged from 9 to 13 years. Attending from Orange County were Glenn Stockwell, Anaheim; Leonard Neal, Mrs. J. Arthur Miller and Gene Bogart of Fullerton; Billy Joe Sebastian and Eldon Brown of Placentia; Rosie Gomez and Patsy Sandoval of Atwood. Films shown and teaching given centered in right attitudes toward narcotic habits, and a decision to live the total abstinence way. Forest Ranger C. M. Stevens, Newhall showed films depicting forest fires caused by careless smokers.

SAUNDERS "As long as a pupil has a will to learn and a teacher has a desire to teach, very few problems should be considered insurmountable," sagely observes Nico Charisse in his thought-inspiring book, "Ballet For Today." The volume is not for beginners, but is packed with helpful advice for dancers and teachers. Some of the later may be started by what they will label an unorthodox approach but, or doxor or not, it sounds like common sense to a professional critic who necessarily has viewed all kinds of dancing. Musicians and music teachers may read it profitably, as well, especially the chapters on bows. Charisse does not repeat ideas in different words, nor become involved in detailed instructions, as with the majority of textbooks. He assumes that the reader has sufficient intelligence to receive a suggestion and work it out in the way best suited to that person's own degree of skill or ability — a most refreshing approach. He points out, for example, that a dancer needs breath control similar to that of a singer or a swimmer, and suggests a planned breathing pattern for each dance, just as a vocalist plans where to breathe between phrases and marks the places on the music. He emphasizes the correlation of dancing and athletics, such as a "balanced diet" of movement to avoid bulging muscles, and accents the value of physics in employing centrifugal force and gravity. He shows, too, how motions of the body may correspond to optical illusions in art, and be utilized accordingly with telling effect.

Seldom has a book come to my attention that has so much to say and wastes so few words. To clarify the text are action pictures of dance movements. It is a volume that every professional or aspiring professional will find of great practical value.
