Camera Outing Party
Net an Amazon.
However. No One Was Hurt. and
Picnic Was a Success.

The outing of the Akron Camera
club held Friday was successful af-
fair. Torty-six members and friends
of the club made up the party and the
new 60 foot naphtha launch owned
by ]. w. Helm, of 602 Yale st. extern
sion, conveyed them down the canal,
through Summit lake and down to
about five miles below Barberton.
The first stop was made at the
guard lock, which is being construct
ed at the entrance to Long lake feed
er Here n number of pictures were
taken, showing tho progress Of the
I work; also several views Of the
! scenery.
Tho most exciting incident Of the
trip occurred nt the Wolf creek lock.
Here a canal boat lay tied UP In the
lock while the owner and his good
: wife ate their MONDAY meal
]
the lock and allow the party to pass
through, they replied that when they
had finished their meal they would
SEQ about It. After further question
ing regarding the probable length Of
time required for the satisfaction Of
their appetites they suggested that
nm hour might do.
Rather than disturb them while so
hungry, several husky "camerites"
grabbed the canal boat and soon had
her on the move.
This angered the better half of the
captain, and she was out of the cabin
door in fifty with an ugly black
snake whip in her hand and for about
Ten minutes the atmosphere was blue
and sulphurous with the language of
the canal.
She could beat any boats captain
on State waters for language that was
more forcIble than elegant.
For a time It looked as if this ANA
zon would hold the lock against the
whole camera outfit but the better
Judgment of her spouse prevailed and
he led out the mules and hitched up
and soon the party was on Its way,
enjoying the spice of excitement that
Ind been added to tho trip by the
occurrence.
Lunch was spread I'm tho woods
near the next lock, after which tho
cameras were brought into play and
many fine pictures secured, The
scenery In this part of the county is
beautiful. and as the day was an ideal
one for picture taklng, no trouble was
experienced in getting as many as
were desired.
