HIGHLANDERs PLEA6ED
- WITH THEIR OUTING

Inc hi8hlanders broke camp
Tuesday and came to town a sad
though happy group Of youngsters.
Sad because their glorious camp trip
had been brought to a close two
days ahead of schedule because their
finances had been exhausted, and
happy because every lad declares
he had the best time OF his life at
the camp.
No greater inspiration can be
brought to boys OF this age than
that gained by life in the open in
contact with leaders Of the charac-
ter and ability Of their leader, TheO.
GARNER. who has given freely of his
time and education, without price,
that these Monte Vista boys might
profit. On his return Mr.. GARNER
voiced his regret that lack OF fin
ances and support mas kept him
from extending the ranks OF the
Highlanders to practically every lad
of their age In the town. At pres
ent the membership is limited II
thirty and on the waiting list are
TWENTY-FIVE boys.
The Highlander organization is
non-sectarian. having boys OF every
faith within the ranks. However.
their training includes moral and
religious teaching as we'll as citizen
ship and business principles.
The camp at Riverside ranch was
organized along military lines and
each evening flag drill was observed
Camp sanitation and kitchen police
we're among the duties In which the
lads were instructed. Hikes. fish
ing, swimming and trips to the
mines were among the amusements
enjoyed by the lads in company with
their instructor and big brothers"
II was arranged to have two men
at the camp each day although some
Of them will have to plead guilty to
playing hockey on the boys.
Strong commendation OF the eats
Is expressed by all who visited the
camp and by the boys who had their
iii Of chicken, cake and Ice cream.
for these were the chief items Of
their menu. One shipment to the
camp included fourteen cakes and
five gallons Of ice cream. Several
consignments of a dozen chickens
each were consumed. Mothers OF
several boys acted as X. p. and al
though many Of them thought the,
knew the extent of a boys sppetit.
they are now unanimous In the con-
ciuslon that boy In camp can eat
- much as two boys ut home.
i The only accident that marred the
camp life was that = can Of din
pickles contributed some sort OF
poison and was responsible for sew
eral pretty sick boys. Audrey Wells
returned with a badly battered tenn
pie and black eye as a result OF
testing out the depth OF the swim
ming pool al the Gap.
In conclusion II may be said that
every boy who was fortunate enough
to be included In the camp came
home with \ bigger. brighter faith
In life and an inspiration to put
forth the best he has In the game OF
life. No greater influence for good
can be found In the valley than the
organization and support Of such
societies. For the returns on the
money Invested In religious and
moral life the Highlander camp has
no comparison In tho valley. This
camp was conducted on funds Of less
than 5000. Monte Vista has spent
more than $4,000 on religious life
this year. Let's give the kids their
share.
