Thursday evening, Jan. T. w. ~ Mix Camp,
-, Wallingford, held "open house " for public
installation. There were present Lieut.-Ccl
Bunten. Surg. Willis N. Barber Past Col.
Singleton, besides many brothers from New
Haven and other places.
In looking back over the past year we see
how many things we have done we ought not
to, and it annoys us; but there will result no
benefit by mourning over what has been done.
Let US take warning, and beware of making
the same mistakes again.
One of the difficult questions that will meet
the new Commander will be how to strengthen
the old Camps before trying to start others.
Let US take good care of what we have and it
will make q demand for Sons of Veterans that
are worthy of the title FAYER.
