Kern Tax Abatement Bill Interpreted with Regard To Liens Already Filed Taxpayers whose taxes for county, city and school are delinquent need not pay interest on liens which have been filed against their properties provided they pay the taxes between now and November 1.

She was 83 and went to the home of Miss Lillian Snyder, Lehighton in order to be with someone who could care for her and died there two and a half years ago. She was a daughter of Rev.

dv. tt After Having Enjoyed Every Minute of Their Two-week Stay A group of sixty-four happy, care free girls will leave for their respective homes at 11 o'clock this morning af ter two weeks of eventful camp life at Camp Trexler, the Lehigh County Boy Scout site which was lent to the Allentown Girl Scouts from June 22 to July 6. Although the Girl Scouts enjoyed every minute of tne successful camp during their two-weeks stay. they have one regret that it coma not be conducted throughout the sum mer. Members of the Allentown Girl Scout Council, of which Mr.

John Arthur Frick is commissioner, are very grateful to the Boy scouts for having lent the camp to the girls so that they toa might enjoy real, "honest- to-goodness" camp life. It is through the faithful cooperation and untiring enorts of Mrs. Fries that tne Alien-town Girl Scout movement is constantly growing and it is hoped that the possibilities of a camp for local Girl Scouts will eventually become a reality. After living in a wonderful, conducive environment and an invigorating atmosphere for two weeks, the girls will return today with rosy cheeks and all-round healthy appearances, with much credit going to Miss Schilling, the camp's dietitian, who was responsible for the wnolesome, health-building meals prepared for the girls. Girls attending the camp were di vided into three units according to age and camp experience.

The Junior and Senior units of 24 girls each, lived in cabins and sturdy Adirondack shelters, and each unit had four carefully chosen counsellors to direct activities. There was also the Pioneer unit, in charge of Ruth Carpenter and consisting of 16 older girls who lived in tents without platforms. They cooked their meals in the outdoors and constructed housekeeping conveniences. Three staff members, well-trained in this line of camping, directed the Pioneer group. Tents were set in a beautiful grove of white birch trees known as the "wilderness." Camp Trexler featured creative activities, nature, dramatics, crafts and simple pioneering, supplemented by outdoor requirements for various Scout ranks such as singing, campfire and impromptu ramptire.

Health and sanitation was carefully examined under the direction of Dr. Vaughan Sprenkel, a member of the Girl Scout camp committee. All waterfront activities were directed by Elizabeth Williams, a Red Cross assistant, and four Senior life savers. Miss Florence H. Lemkau, director of Girl Scouting In Allentown, and a staff of fifteen counsellors were on duty each day to guide the campers.

The staff included: Antoinette Pingel, of the "Tabor" or Gypsy encampment unit; Ruth Carpenter, of the Pioneer unit; Ann Gomery, of the Never-Never Land unit of younger girls; Miss Schllling.dietitian; Jeanette Miller, food counsellor. Mrs. Ray Sheridan, registered nurse; Elizabeth Williams, swimming eoun-sellor; Catherine Gable, head nature counsellor; Pauline Duschak, assistant; Pauline Frey. head craft counsellor, and Louise Faust, assistant; Isabel Herts, head dramatic counsellor, and Carolyn Judas, assistant and business manager; Betty Cameron and Ruth Fricic, of the Pioneer unit. Heeded by Mrs.
