III Camp T, L. Dunn. July 29.-Camp
IThos. L. Dunn is a fine name for the
IEY NJ. c. \. camp and should be
Nspelled with caps for things have
Ffheen DONE and are still being DONE
Shere for the boy campers during
their two weeks sojourn and next
week promises even more in the way
az doinGs.
On Wednesday p. L. Shickel took
most Of the lads for a hike along
the tow path and then had a series
of stunt races with watermelons for
prizes and also used some of them in
the races. The Life of st Nicholas
was the subject for the chapel talk
by Mr.. Carey. No one went to sleep.
Thursday witnessed a fine hike
over nearby mountain, the eXpor-
ing of some interesting caves and
a chapel talk on the Life of Sir
George Williams, the founder of the
Y. NJ. C. A.
Swimming and swimming tests
have been a feature of importance
these last few days and a number
have qualified in both beginners and
the swimmers classes. A beginner
to win tho Y. NJ. c. A. Beginners"
emblem must be able to swim fifty
feet Later he may try for the
Swimmers" badge which is much
harder to earn and the wearer of
this may consider that he is a real
swimmer. Those who have qualified
as beginners are Phil Steck, Dyer
Eubanks, Bruce Welty, Hollis Lowe,
OF Salisbury, Md; B. H. Riddleberg-
er, of Charles Town, Sam F'elker and
Carson COuchman. Those qualifying
as swimmers are VIM Bradford,
Wendell Mckee, Harold Keesey, Rob
ert Lockwood, OF Charels Town, and
Fatty Brumbaugh.
Target practice las gripped num-
Der of the boys and nearly every
spare moment some of the boys are
working hard to win one OF the
Winchester Junior Rife Corps pins
for efficient shooting. Before a boy
can qualify, though, he must know
how to clean and care for rife,
rules Of safety, firing Positions. prin-
cipals Of craftsmanship, ard then be
a Corking good shot. Marshall Ho-
mer has made the hes. scores so far
and has Won a Mark Sman" badge.
George Hollis is second but has got
ten no higher than a "Pro-Marks-
man" Harold Keesey is also en-
titled to one of these latter medals.
Doug Grimes tried hard to get a
medal for shooting but has found
that he shoots better with a camera.
Doug has shot picture of each tree,
June-bug, tent, boat and every boy
in camp. Swimming and shooting
emblem3 will be awarded around the
camp fire on Sunday night.
When it comes to "eats" Mr.. Trees
is right on the job Some boy re-
marked that he liked beans and since
then Mr.. Trees must have bought up
all the beans on the market for we
have had beans for breakfast, dinner
and supper, day in and day out, rain
or shine, for what seems like years
and years. Now the campers are
trying to get to crack the bean
OF the boy who made such foolish
remark TO our good chef.
Allen Dimples Carper was the first
casualty in camp. He stopped with
his sky piAce a bucket thrown by
Harvey l., X Bush. Shortly after
this Lazy got up energy enough to
toss small stone which lighted on
the nose of Fatty Brumbaugh. Smil-

enough to stop base ball with his
pretty nose.
The morning tent inspections have
been of such character that they
would have made a regular army
camp sink away with envy. Car
son CoUchman's ma" is the best
tent inspector in camp but ehs al
ways decides that tent number two,
wherein Carson lives, is the best
Each tent has Won on morning in
spection with the exception of num-
her one. Wake up Mr. Shickel and
get YOUR fellow tenters to work
When it comes to fishing Doug
Thomas and Bill Carper have the
camp record. They caught thirteen
one morning. Gus Wiltshire, Bill
Gagebv Latane McCauley and Char
les Crabbe have also been right
successful with their lines. P. L.
Shickel hasn't gotten a nibble yet al
though he goes every time he can
get off.
Visitors were surprised recently
when they found that Toots Harper
is a MISUNDERSTANDING boy in
SPITE of his Sampson like curls.
Late Chas. Small was late in get
ting to camp, is late for all forma-
lions. meals, ETC., and in fact when
he goes fishing, which he does very
