Location Changed In Or.
der That They Might
be Safe

The camp site to be used by
Camp Woods, conducted by the
Boys department. of the Y. NJ. C.
A, has been changed, due to bet.
! ter place being selected. The rea.
son is that the Valley river at Phil.
tippi although q splendid place to
camp, becomes unsafe for swim.
ming after heavy rains.
The new place selected Is Brown.
ing's Lake, two miles from Cranes
vile, Maryland, about midway be-
/ tween Terra Alta and Oakland. The
country around Brcwnings Lake is
abundant IN verdant forests over
the mountain sides, pines and ma.
pies being very numerous. The
committee in charge OF obtaining a
camp site desired TO place the camp
in country not too populous, but
/ at point near good transportation
and other facilities. All these de.
slrable qualities were found at
Browning's Lake.
The lake is about three.quarters
OF a mile long and about three hun.
dred yards wide. At one end is a
large steel bride on the main road,
near which the camp will be placed.
About three miles from this point
are the well.lSnown Swallow Falls
on the Youghiogheuy river. The
lake is abundant with mountain
trout and black bass, enough to
make any boy happy and content.
The Pittsburgh Fishing club owns
a plot OF ground on the opposite
! side of the lake, coming every s,frns
mer season with a group Of Pitts
burgh fishers. The lake was chos.
en- especially on account Of the
splendid swimming. which made
the Valley river undesirable. Very
few places Ii the lake deeper thar,
six feet, and the swimming hole"
| will be roped of according to the
ages OF the boys to insure safety
for all campers.
A flat plot Of ground lies on the
north side Of the lake on which the
camp will be pitched. Between this
and the lake lies a narrow strip OF
woods, approximately fifty feet
wide, with large trees and thiclly
covered with ferns. To the side Of
the tents is a large clear spring
with the finest mountain water that
can be secured. The altitude OF the
site is estimated at about $500 feet.
All these things promise the boys
an ideal trip.
The camp will be conducted by
the Boys department of the Y. NJ.
c. A. for all Fairmont boys who
may want to attend. The first two
weeks will be for younger boys be.
tween II and 10 years Of age, while
the last two weeks will be given over
to older boys. Parents are advised
to register their boys early to In
sure their going to camp. The
charge Is SIS including Transports
ltion. Supervision Of the camp will
be under entirely competent men.

At the time her dead son Joined
