The unusually warm weather of late
is responsible for a degree Of inactiV-
ity throughout the district in the mat

camp work, with Fullerton and Boyle

where camps are soon to be estab- |
lished. Special Organizer e. Hollands

not uncommon, frequently with the
wives and daughters present. NO cam

under way, but in the course OF a rev

ously prosecuted.
