tired boys in the throcs Of uneasy sleep
dreamed of logs that crawled like
snakes, Of rocks with feet and heads
like turtles. and of trees with pret
ty blue wings fitting about with re-
markablc speed. one of the difficulties
which the scouts Of Ardmorr face
is the fact that no good camping
places are to be found within three
miles of town. Beyond that distance
numerous ideal places lie, but the long
homcward march after a day in tho
woods Is just little too much for
the twelve and thirteen year old boys
and they would profit more from tho
hikes If quick transportation home
in the evening could bc provided.
