consumption. All eats must be deliv-
cred to headquarters. where Scout Ex-
ecuttve H. O. Portz distributes them 10
ALI of the boys. The Scouts are wise
bunch. SO they interpreted this rule to
apply to "eoibles." Next they had TO
work out n way to cvade the law. and
eyada they did. They decided to have
"drinkables." so they bought some syr-
ups in town and took sugar along, and
now they are drinking orangeadc. and
that il no serious violation Of camp reg
ulations, for everyone gets drink.
All of the Scouts are real good fell
lows and they share everything mat
comes from homo. 20 * some mother or
a Scout bakes q cake this Is formal no
ticc that IT must be big enough for 20
hungry boys whose stomachs have no
bottoms.
Tho fact that these boys are in camp
does not prevent them from doing Rood
turn daily. Yesterday one little FELLOW
walked into headquarters and SAID: An
automobile got stuck fording the creek
Scout Executive Portz inquired whether
help was needed. They don't need any
thing: we pushed 'em out" the little fel-
low remarked. as he smiled and thre"
out his chest. Jack DempseyllKe.
Rainy days naturally interfere with
camp programs. but the rain gives inc
boys some mighty valuable experience
in caring for tents in storm ana ma
IA experience we'll worth while. Inc
tents are all built high of the grouho'
with good floors, and each tent has
canvas Fly" so that the tents are not
only dry. but cool as well.
With good weather. the boys Will re-
new their daily hikes, blazing trails ana
taking their examinations in uses OF
hatchets and axes. Signal work ID oone
on the camp grounds. When the weather
is bad tho boys enjoy watching STORM
coming from afar. They wager that
its raining in Benwood right now OF
MS lust over the Island" and II they
have nothing else to worry about they
wonder IF Sister Mary is carrying that
bucxct Of we'll water each day. or is she
| forcing tho folk7 to drink Ohio river
water" Speaking Of drinking water
tho Scouts have a very fine we'll right
Mt their mess shack. so they don't walk
far nr overhead Themselves carrying
buckctsfull each day. The kitchen, mess
shack and big ice boxes sit right under
two big trees on the creek bank. Every
thing is as sanitary as possible. and
nuartcrs are screened so that flies i've
| outdoors.
All in all,r the boys have very fne
and sanitary emma in beautiful anc
convenient location. 1t is Il nice Walk
from Elm Grove. hut not much better
riding. for 4 battle tank is required To
drive tho roads in wet weather, thanks
to the officials Of Marshall county.
