The scout executive is proving a great builder of modern camps. It Is fortu- nate thing for the Boy Scouts that this hidden talent of his was not discovered by the government during the war, for he would certainly have been made general of engineers. President Dimick was out at Camp Andrews Thursday night and comes back bubbiing over with enthusiasm over the things that are being accomplished. The main building of the camp, 10oxN, to be used as mess hall and general headquarters, is we'll on to- ward completion. It is built of pine logs, covered with shingles split on the ground, and with it's large open fire place will afford . glorious place for gatherings when the days are gloomy or the even ings chilly Last Monday work was started on the dam and it will be fn- ished completely by Saturday. When one observes the massive log construction used andA the tons of rocks blasted out and placed, 1t is hard to believe that Ex- ecutive Wester and Assistant Executive Eddens, with the few helpers they had. could do this work in three weeks. not to say one. The writer. who accompa- nied President Dimick on his Thursday night trip to camp knows the secret. however, of,this rapid construction. Ar irving on tKe scene at o'clock both the executive and assistant executive were found still at it. Here as always has intense enthusiasm counted large. Many troops have started their troop cabins: some so ambitious in design as to all most merit the name of houses, others less pretentious, but already looking so cozy that lover of outdoors wishes he possessed the like for his summer home. The long, narrow ridge along which the cabins are located forms an ideal site for the camp, and from every part of it one obtains views of valley and noun
 tain that are entrancing. The drainag
 is perfect and no mosquitoes to annoy you. Springs furnish the water supply and during camp the water is analysed every week. so all danger of the use of unfit water is avoided. Work on the camp was not started until the latter part of March. and fearing that all could not be cared for by cabins, the execu tive committee has purchased ten army tents, 1sxf6. so that none need be turned away. want to say to the parents of the Boy Scouts that they can send their boys to Camp Andrews, knowing that they will be well cared for Every con dition is perfect for health and under the supervision of the executive and Sailor Eddens, the boys will be carefully looked after. The scout who can spend some weeks at Camp Andrews is a fortunate fellow.
