formal bulletin as follows:
Campers are persons who, OF their

to Immediate wildness. In this there
is no harm and often much good.
However. one thing should not be for

the animals TO break loose once more

means have the camp sanitary. so that
In their wildness they will do no
harm"
Among the warnings which the

these:
Beware of the farmers corn and
cucumbers, eat sparingly of the con-
coctlons to which you are unaccus-
