The members enjoyed a report on
tLp recent Girls State, an Auxiliary
sponsored activity, given by Miss
Katherine Strickland, Plattsmouth
l.igh student, who had been sent by
the local unit to the week's training
camp at MiKord in June... Her re
port was as follows:
First of all. I want to express my
thanks to the American Legion
Auxiliary for making it possible for
nio to attend the Cornhusker Girls'
State at Milford.
Most of you know something
al.out the Girls' State, which is spon
sored by the American Legion Auxil
ii.i y along tlie same lines as Boys'
Slate, which is sponsored by the
American Le;jion. The principles of
these two organizations are the
si id e. The building of future Amer
ican citizens or the teaching of citi
zenship, whica is one of the princi
ple;", of the American Legion and the
American Legion Auxiliary. These
principles were taught the girls at
Girls' State first of all by work, but
net all work because they believe in
the theory that "All work and no
plev makes Ji-ck a dull boy" and
Jill a dull firl."
Before entering upon the activities
of the camp. I would like to say that
any girl who attends Girls' State is
privileged to be associated with the
leeders of Nebraska. It would be im
possible to mention all the leaders
who gave their time to this work,
but we had Judge E. F. Carter, Chief
Justice Robert G. Simmons, were sup
posed to havo Governor Cochran, but
he was unabla to be there and we
enjoyed having hs wife, the first
Indy of our state, talk to us. We had
leading lawyeis. social workers and
other dignitaries as speakers, advis
ors and actual helpers.
There were 101 girls at the camp,
coming from all over the state, as
n presentation was based on unicam
eral districts. There were some thirty
Boys' States in the U. S. this year
(as this movement was started sev
eral years igo while Girls' State is
new this year). But of all the states,
Nebraska is the only one that has
the unicameral system.
When the girls registered, they
were given a party designation, the
"odds" being Federalists, and the
"cTens," Nationalists. I was a Fed
eralist. All the giils were candidates
tor some office, but of course all
were not elected. Through the elec
tions we learned much about poli
tics. Under the supervision of such
people as our Supreme Court Justice
and well known state officials, our
politics was clean politics. We elect
ed a governor (Virginia Ford, of Lin
coln), a lieutenant governor, com
plete set of state officials, senators,
jucges and such minor officials as
precinct and town officers. After tne
political battle In which officers were
e'ected. those not being elected were
appointed to different offices of that
ch.ss and had a part in conducting
the affairs of government. I suppose
you would !;ke to know what my
political fortune was. I ran for the
office cf State Auditor but was un
successful in my campaign. However,
I was appointed State Librarian and
also served on the jury at the dis
trict court term, was acting attorney
in police court and served as acting
chief of polioe of my home city of
"Y.'arnerville" prior to the holding
of the regular town election.
Our days were full of activity
from C:20 in the morning until ten
ii; the evening, when lights were out.
Of course the things that happened
aTler the lights went out this re
Iou is not supposed to cover.
1 could go on at length and tell
ou things about our daily schedule,
such as cases tried in district court,
actions taken by our legislative body,
speeches by prominent men and
women, all of which were inspira
tional and made us not only proud
of our home state of Nebraska, the
White Spot or the nation, but very
happy in the fact that we girls who
attended that Girls' State and oth-

A charming conspiracy to defeat the heat is the serving of iced
tea on a penthouse terrace. This gracious hostess is using her
silver to elegant advantage. The teapot, tray, lemon fork and
iced tee spoors, are in the Fairfax pattern to match her other
sterling flatware. She's a lucky h'ostess too, for the ice bowl and
tongs, coasters, and lemon dish, which incidentally is a Gorham
reproduction of a piece made in London in 1798, were all wedding

Guardsmen to
Shoot on Range
Here This Year
Condemnation of the Ashland Rifle
Range Makes Necessary Trans
port of Guardsmen Here.
The rifle range at the Nebraska
national guard camp at Ashland has
been condemned for use owing to
the new type of ammunition that is
used and it will be necessary to have
the rifle practice staged at the U. S.
army, rifle range north of this city.
The encampment of the national
guard will be held from August 6 to
20th, Adjutant Ceneral Guy Hen
niuger announced at Lincoln late
Wednesday.
The change in the plans for the
rifle practice will add a diversion for
the five battalions of troops at the
range, they having to be transferred
to and from the Ashland camp for
their range work. It Is the plan for
each battalion to have two days work
on the range.
The bringing of the troops here
will be the first visit of the national
guard here since 1921 when the en
campment was held on the Missouri
river bottoms east of the city, at
which time Frank B. O'Connell. pres
ent park and game commissioner, was
the adjutant fcr General Paul.
