Wasteful display

To the editor:

On Saturday, Aug. 13, there were two pictures I found disgusting in the Journal-World. The pictures at the bottom of page 5E show a “Girl Scout camp tradition.” The young girls and camp aides are throwing food at each other.

With hungry people in our world and, in fact, in our own community, these Scouts are throwing rice, spaghetti, eggs and beans at each other.

May I suggest that there are more productive activities for the girls’ time and for the food.

One of the Girl Scouts’ supposed objectives is to develop future leaders. Wow!

And this was on the “Society Page.”
