SUMMER SCHOOLS,
MUNICIPAL CAMPS IN
NATIONAL FORESTS

Washington, Aug. Embarrassing
use of the National Forests for NUM-
cipal camp. sites and summer school
locations is reported by the Forest
Service. Permits have already been
issued to several cities and educational
institutions and other applications are
expected. Officials say that far more
people use the forests for public play
grounds than for any other purpose,
and that this use promises to be one
Of the most important to which they
can be put.
The city Of Fresno, California, has
been granted a permit for the use of
a 15-acre camp on the shores of Hunt
ington Lake, in the Sierra National
Forest. 1t is reported that the city
will establish a camp in which outings
during the summer months will be
provided at low cost for 11,000 school
children and their parents.
In the same Forest a California
State Normal school is now occupying
the Government under a long term
lease A number of buildings have
been erected, all of which, as we'll
as many cottages and camps, are sup
piled with water from a water system
installed by the Forest Service. In
connection with the regular x-weeks
summer course, this school gives a
course jn woodcraft and general for
estry subjects. The students visit the
nearby Forest Service ranger stations
and lookout towers, and study the
Governments methods Of fire protec-
ton. Addresses on the work of the
Forest Service are given by officials
from time to time. The Georgia State
Forest School has camp on private
lands on the Georgia National Forest
where a summer course is given. A
feature Of this course is a series Of
talks given by members of the Forest
Service stationed in the vicinity.
Los Angeles was the first city in
Californa to establish a vacation camp
in the National Forests. A tract of
land in the Angeles Forest has been
rented, and a large camp built, cost
ing about $4,000. This camp consists
Of log and stone lodge, 46 furnished
cottages, tennis and croquet courts.
baseball grounds and handball courts.
A Today trip can be made for small
cost which is within the reach of
practically every one. By this means
thousands Of residents Of the city have
been able to spend their vacations in
the mountains.
1t is also reported that a San Fran
cisco association is considering the
establishment of a summer home for
girls at Lake Tahoe on the Tahoe Ma
tional Forests. Boy Scout troops regu-
larly camp in several Of the Forests,
and on one Forest the Y. NJ. c. A.
of nearby city has leased lot and
put up a permanent camp.
Officials say that the National For
ests offer unlimited opportunities for
summer school and municipal camps.
as we'll as the best opportunities for
recreation to be had anywhere in the
country. Ample provision is made
for campers and tourists. Hunting
and fishing are allowed in season, and
there are no restrictive regulations
beyond those regarding forest fires.

0R0N0 ON THE
POLITICAL MAP
SINCE TUESDAY
Most Enthusiastic Gathering
Ever Assembled There Heard
Republican Speakers-Town
Hall Wouldn't Hold Them

Orono. Me-, Aug. 2s-(Special).-
Orono, famed as the place where po-
iltical parties never can hold rallies.
is now decidedly in the limelight.
A rally has been held here. Not
only was it big one. but it was the
most enthusiastic political gathering
ever staged in the town. The event
was Tuesday evening and so success
full was it that the Town Hall was
packed to the doors and there were
many other people who were anxious
to attend who could not get inside the
building. The main speaker of the
evening was Hon. Richard w. Austin.
congressman from Tennessee. while
there were also other short speeches
by the local candidates.
To turn out a thousand people at
a political meeting is remarkable
achievement in any town. To have a
thousand people at a rally as was the
case in Orono Tuesday evening is
absolutely unheard of. There were a
thousand in the hall and there were
many more outside who wanted to
get inside but couldn't.
The Blake marching club was one Of
the reasons why there was such big
attendance at the meeting. The ener-
getic action Of young Ralph Perkins
who is the candidate for representative
on the Republican ticket from Orono
was another one of the causes. For
years, Orono has been Democratic.
Rallies have been advertised for the
place by both big political parties.
but never have the people turned out,
no matter what the attraction has
been. This year the people were there.
They have been aroused in Orono and
they are determined to make the city
Republican If it Is possible to bring
such thing to pass and all the party
leaders in that section believe that it
is not only possible, but that 1t act
ually will be accomplished.
Members of the Blake marching
club from Bangor. many others from
that city and other places to the num-
ber of several hundred took special
cars to Orono. A dozen automobiles
We're in the parade and Congressman
Austin announced that he was proud
to take part When he saw what a
magnificent demonstration was being
made, he became so enthusiastic that
he decided he would have marching
clubs in Tennessee. The speech by
the congressman was one of the best
ever heard in Penobscot county just
as the rally was one Of the most en-
thusiastic ever held.
