 North Carolina either at camps or in the more formal hotels. Still oth- CTS will choose the middle course and reside in cottages.
 The typical camp has undergone a remarkable change in late years. Log cabins or tents are utilized as living quarters, while there Is generally a large building for the dining room and lounge. Food Is prepared in a real Kitchen and Is served by wait resses.
 Many of the shacks are electrically lighted and possess all other modern conveniences. A trained nurse is usually resident in the more preten- tious camps and a doctor can be su mmoned by telephone. Frequently farm is run in connection with the camp, furnishing milk, butter, eggs and vegetables. This arrange ment is in decided contrast to camp ing of other years where hardships were apt to be considered as insep- arabic from life in the woods.
