Lampi is camp cook. The camp
committee, Mesdames Will Barker,

make it possible for the boy or girl
scouts to use the camp during the
winter. Wooden floors for all tents
were set up ard raised slightly off
the ground to make them dry. Ely
merchants, garages, carpenters. etc.
have cooperated generously with the
camp committee, according to Mrs.
Barker and it was possible to make
considerably more improvements
than was even hoped, WIN the limit
ed amount of money allotted to the
work.
