help but be of tremendous benefit and
guidance in n boys life. Plenty to

keen and alert to all about him.
One of the special contests which

size.
Fishing Trophies Offered
Each day the boy who catches the
most fish in 80 minutes will be given
the honor of wearing one trophy the
remaining portion of the day: the
same standard applies to the boy
catching the largest fish in that days
contest. At the close of the - days,
these two boys. who have caught the
most and the biggest will be awarded
the two trophies, which will distinguish
them from the rest of the camper as
master anglers.
In order to encourage the camper
to acquire pluck. energy and self on
troll. and such other qualities as may
characterize him an ideal camper, an
effort toward efficiency must be made
along the lines of athletics. nature
study. character study. mountain
climbing. camp improvement. enter
tainment, cheerful and efficient service
in camp duties and approval of lead
ers. The "Y" camp emblem is to be
awarded each camper who makes a
satisfactory showing along these lines.
The camp emblem will be awarded
only as a reward of merit. Upon en-
trance into the camp. the camper is
presented with the red Y" which
signifies that he is a tenderfoot camp
er. Upon completion of the first year
he may try for the white Y" This he
will wear during his second year in
amp. at the close of which he may
try for the "blue Y" or third year de-
gree. A boy who has won his blue
Y" is a member of the camping fra
ternity. and may try for the final de-
gree or camp emblem which will be
given to him on the completion of his
fourth year in camp.
The campfire programs will be
handled by certain tents OF specified
nights. The programs will vary, but
will include music, stunts. contests,
story telling. limitations. lectures and
stories by "trappers and natives of
the Rockies" A radio receiving set
will alse be an interesting feature of
the camp, and it is expected that
broadcasting programs sent out from
Great Falls and other cities will fur
nish part of the camps musical pro-
grams.
