Alberta, they had stripped the
trees completely.

field were Penny Howlett and
Martha Corrie.
Candidates from Bayfield
trying for their pioneer's badge
were successful. They were

Girls trying for it had to
pitch their tents, make tables,
light the fires and do most of
the cooking.
Mrs. M. Corrie was quarter-

cooking and planning 'of meals
fell on her shoulders. "But the
girls worked hard," she said,
"and the weather was idea]."
One night they slept under
the stars.
