The camp at East Fork has not
only developed some marvellous fisher
men, but it has brought some hitherto
undreamed-of powers of imagination
among the staid business men in the
party Some half dozen tents shelter
the men and women folks and the
children, and there is il special cook
ing tent for Aunt Nancy. They call
it the studio, for there the real art
work is done, Aunt Nancy having in
herited her unusual capability from
her mother, who lived and toiled on
the old plantation until freedom came.
Grouped about the camp fire the
other night the members of the party
told and listened to marvellous tales
of adventure and mystery. Nancy, the
cook, an eager listener, sat back in
the shadows until someone spoke up
good naturedly: Nov, Nancy, it's
your turn. Can't you tell us ghost
story?"
The black woman got up and came
a little closer to the fire.

Nancy. Il heard him tell it dozen

the result Of report made recently
by the Board Of Social Welfare.
This law, which was enacted a
year ago to remain in force until the

many interests as being responsible
for the increases in the cost Of liv.

have failed.
The Board, in its report, stated it
believed the law was responsible for
