Many articles have been written and
much mental energy has been focused
on the question, all-important in these
war times of how to get vacation
without going broke, in the mountains.
at the seaside. or on the lakes.
The members of the North Topeka
Outing club believe that they hay
solved the problem. The club was
orga nized several years ago to afford
its members a maximum of rest,
change, sport and outdoor life at q
moderate cost.
This year, when everyone is cut
ting down. the admirably equipped
camp on M:ll creek at Maple Hill has
been more largely patroniZed than
ever before, and is enjoying its most
successful season. On the week end
trips, as many as fifty persons have
motored up from North Topeka, and
spent a day of enjoyment in the open,
which without the camp would have
been out of the question
The Outing club has equipped its
cabins for the needs of campers, and
an open air cooking outfit, consisting
of the top of stoge on a big brick
fireplace gives a maximum of cook
ing satisfaction with a minimum of
discomfort
There are boats on Mill Creek
where the fishing is always good, and
with the poorest luck the Outing club
enthusiasts can always catch enough
for their own use. A cool spring
gives the best water obtainable. Ali
in all. the more they use it the more
members are convinced that the North
Topeka Outing club camp is the ideal
compromise between convenience and
expense.
