Today ends the season for Camr
Caesar Rodney at Red Point. AL
though the attendance was not as
large as it might have been, Il made
up in quality what it lacked in guam
tity.
About thirty boys of the camp
went on a cruise this week TO Bet
terton and Meek's Point, about As
miles@from camp. They had in
tended going 10 Annapolis, but rough
weather made them change their
plans. However, they had a very
interesting time at Meek's Point
where they visited the Observation
Tower for the Proving Grounds at
Aberdeen. The man in charge ex-
planned all the instruments, includ-
ing a very fine swireless. These
towers are situated along the Chesa-
peake about two miles apart, and
when shots are fired from Aberdeen
they are followed by these signal
towers, and the towers report where
the shot hits. thus they can measure
the range OF the gun. Today some

hrst page to the Boy Scout as the
pioneers in broadcasting, and a
strong auxiliary to the Government

dore Perry, has asked for a list of
all boys capable of receiving and
sending five words per minute for
publication in the Navy list. Names.
