Following the receiving oi
recommendations from G. C. Hal,
of Albany, head of the Santiam
Forest Reserve, stating that Elk
Lake is the best location in the
whole reserve for a boys camp,
plans are being rushed for the Y.
M. @. A. camp there, scheduled
to start June 21 and break up
July 5. According to C. A. Kells,
local secretary, indications point
to a large attendance from Salem.
The camp will be in charge of
A. e. Yount of Portland, head of
boys work on the interstate Y.
M. G. A. committee. H. X. Ghorm-
ley of the Marion county division,
with headquarters here, will as
sist in the direction of the camp.
For the past three years he has
been with the Spokane camp in
Washington, where the attend
ance ran between 200 and 300.
The local organization has just
started to sign up the boys, the
age being IL or 'er. In the
camp they will be divided into
units of eight to 10 boys each, and
each unit will be supervised by an
adult leader. Work in the camp
will follow the Oh ristian citizan-
ship training program which aims
10 develop the intellectual, physi-
cal, devotional an dservice sides Of

His fond heart used to sigh for
her.
He told her he would die for her.
But twas a big mistake;
For she became a wife TO him,
And since she's tied for life TO him
He viii not eat her cake.
