(ake Mine Democracy"
\birthday always marks a milestone, and that of the Camp
Girls is no exception. This week, from March 13 to 19, the
anization is celebrating its 39th birthday.
Taking as the slogan for their national birthday project
ake Mine Democracy," tb?se girls are demonstrating their
;re to become better idaup iters of democracy, with the organ-
ion their proving ground.
Camp Fires are girls between the ages of 7 and 18 who in
jr club programs "learn by doing," the theory at the base of
purpose of this national group. As pointed out by the execu-
e leader of the Cape Cod Area Council, Miss Elisabeth S.
vlor of Barnstable, "Just as our girls learn how to bake cakes!
actually baking them, they learn democracy by really liv-
! 't'" t ., , . . . ... .
Emphasizing for their year's program in citizenship train-
t which is vitally needed today in both State and Nation , this
allenging project of "Make Mine Democracy," they plan to
rrv it out by seeing, doing, and tellingabout democracy.
The over-all Camp Fire program, besides being concerned
lh citizenship training, is educational and character- and
alth-building. All these enter into a democratic way of life.
rls are living democracy when they are giving service in vet-
ins hospitals, visiting historic places in their home territory
d corresponding with boys and girls in other countries and
Hing them about American customs and traditions. Having e.x-
¦riences like these outside of school, girls learn to identify with
n and good times such lessons in democracy and citizenship,
rther they acquire the habit of shouldering responsibilities
ft zeal and enthusiasm.
Adults who are interested in preserving and improving the
herican way of life should support the Camp Fire Girls .
The Cape Cod Area has active groups in Woods Hole, Sand-
ch, Mashpee, Hyannis, Barnstable, Provincetown. Each in its
In way is celebrating that important 39th birthday.

Eighty years ago a certain Hu-
me Tappan, Centerville school
icter. called a meeting to organ-
B a library for Centerville. The
ght wus March 16th and from
at Utile group and its Ideas and
i vision grew the present Cen-
rvllle Library.
It began as, most libraries did ,
llhout u formal home, without a
rof over Its head, as it were, and
as simply a shelf of books in the
Uage grocery store. When you
ant to buy your molasses and
Iur
calico, you probably came out
Ith a book under your arm, too.
ltd it probably wasn't a best-seller
llier. No doubt it was a good solid
own book with no fancy jacket
binding, and it was probably
mil by every member of the Tarn-
s' before it was returned on the
(Honing Saturday.
Through these early years the
brary was housed in several
(tores in the village until 1S81
¦lion it came to rest in a small
ulldlng of its own, erected on the
resent site. Here it served the
ttle community until 1897 when
he present structure was built and
ledlcated,
i it is a long look down the vista
fl eighty years with its changing
kenes and faces. So many houses
have changed hands again and
again. So many dwellings have
themselves got up and moved to
another part of the street or the
village. So many loved faces are j
dear ghosts that walk the elm lined
streets. So rich is the heritage that
is ours because these long-ago folk
looked into the future and wanted
It to be good.
Already the library 1B outgrow-
ing Its quarters. It needs more
space for books, for reference work
for its young students, for reading
for itB patrons, for the wider serv-
ice which the changing years de-
mand. In order to look both ways
wisely—to look back along the last
three score and twenty yeurs—and
look ahead into an ever growing

Xlere is a simple system: Plan your
spending, then save. First set aside
funds to pay fixed expenses like rent,
insurance, and interest and payments
on loans. What you have left you can
use for living, fun and future needs.
But here's the secret: Before you start
to spend, deposit something in your
thrift account for tomorrow. Try it.
