Cooking By Candlepower: It's easy to cook an egg with two tin cans and candlewax, Girl Scouts have learned at Hilltop Lodge day camp. Kay Velker breaks an egg on top of a fruit juice can. The can is cut in front and back to provide a draft. It is then placed over a tuna fish can filled with wax and rolled paper. Mrs. Joan Lewis, camp director, looks on (far left). Also watching are Marjorie Bowler, Drucilla Dexter and Ann Ouimet.
