The Universalist Associates held
their regular meeting Thursday eve
ming. Following a chicken pie sup
per at the Willow Dining Rooms,
Colonel Francis Farnum was invited
to address the members. He spoke
on the need of greater development
of hydro-electric energy in Maine,
giving reasons why this should be
done while there is yet opportunity
for doing 1t profitably.
His remarks were especially inter-
esting in that he explained many OF
the features about which there is in
quiry in the public mind, such as
the differences between the costs of
the cost of it delivered two or three
hundred miles away; the need of
large development in order to pro-
duce the power cheaply; the inabil-
ity, under which Maine now suffers,
to induce by means Of power already
developed cheaply on large scale
and in adequate quantities, concerns
in need of cheap power to come to
Maine. He cited several instances
of such failure because there was
not the cheap power in readiness for
them. He told of concerns NOV
ing to the Saguenay River, far from
a market, because there they could
get the cheap power in quantities.
It would, he said, be for the in
terests of the developing company to
build up home consumption. not
only because of the great difference
between the cost of tho power near
the power house and the cost of 1t
delivered at distance, but because
accompanying industries established
near the sources of power there
would cause the growth OF COM
munities to be served with electric
ity.

phernalia If by any chance there is
plenty of il gratis. And, more than all
this, he is lonesome for companion
ship. He wants to chat with his com
rades and ask them about the roads.
Naturally the big, elaborate public
camp appeals strongly.
Overlooking Common.
If that's the sort of motor camping
you are planning it is best to visit
some Of the nearby public camps to
learn what equipment is surplus bag
gage. There you will find the early
tourists and many novice motor camp
ers. You will see them with stocks
of medicine that can be obtained with
in a flve-minute ride from the camp.
You will see them with twice as much
stuff as they really need, overstocked
with canned goods when they could
easily take advantage of the fresh
vegeta ableS obtainable along the road,
and burdened with things for the car
that could be bought about every 5
miles along any road. The man who
goes motor camping for the first time
is not likely to appreciate that there
are various grades of camping. all the
way from something which approx
mates the crude Summer boarding
house to the kind that is so primitive
as to be fraught with natural hazards.
Somewhere between these two eX-
tremes the average beginner in motor
camping will find the logical answer
to his craving for a real vacation.
and it will be a real one in every
sense of the word if he will aim to
know beforehand just exactly what
type of camping he will encounter.
In connection with camping, it is
well to be posted on some of the funda-
mentals Of property rights. Often times
the Eastern motorist is inclined to for
get that the open country is not free,
and that many property owners object
to the promiscuous use of their land
for camping purposes. A camper does
not have to be a nuisance. Unfortu-
ately, there is a tendency to abandon
manners and common decency when

will place the camper beyond the
necessity Of building a fire, perhaps,
with chance twigs that may have TO
be dried out before using.
OF course, the camper will be able
to pitch his camp quite often at the
many tourist camps, some of which
are surprisingly we'll equipped with
running water, cook stoves, tent floors
and even hathing facilities. II is
well, however. to make ones plans

into the open.
1t is we'll for the prospective camp
er TO begin to lay his plans far in $
advance of his trip. To make certain
that nothing essential will be over
looked, it is advisable for the motor
traveller, for several weeks before
hand, TO carry a notebook with him
and, as he thinks of articles he will
want to take, to jot them down 50
that he will have a really complete
list of his needs.
Frying Pan Necessary.
While deciding on the kind of stove
he will take. the camper should think.
too, of that apparently unimportant
but really all-important item Of his
culinary equipment frying pan.
Its type will be determined largely
by the kind of fire to be used. A
short handled pan will be suitable
for an oil stove, but if the camper
intends to use a wood fire a long
andled pan will be found not only
helpful, but necessary.
The nested cooking outfit, which
can be procured easily at stores deal
ing in outing equipment, Will be
found most satisfactory. The cook
ing equipment should include pots,
frying pan, coffee pot, plates, cups.
knives, forks and spoons.
Then there is a table. assuming, of
course, that the camper is going TO
satisfy his prodigious appetite, height
ened by life in the open, from q
table. 1t should be q good assunp-
ton, for the camper will find that
eating on the ground is no more
pleasurable than sleeping on the
ground. A tablecloth spread on the
greensward may have its poetic basis
for a pastoral setting. but insects are
not exactly pleasant table com
panions.
A compact camping table, made pri-
marily for the camper, may be had.
There are various kinds, OF which a
serviceable one is a table made Of
two leaves of durable wood hinged
together and collapsible TO dt be-
meath an automobile seat cushion
Folding chairs are not among the
necessary things to be carried, but
they will be found an added com
fort, if room can be spared them in
the car.
With the cooking and eating uten-
sils and the table decided upon. the
camp bed is the next all-important
item. As the camper will soon find,
he will be able to do his share OF
sleeping. A compact but comfortable

Successful Camping Tours
Depend on Preparations
Time and Place Decided Upon Call for
Varying arrangements -Ouer-
loading Big Fault.

One can count on good weather, but
adequate clothing is essential.
A survey of the public campsites in
the East shows that the great ma jor
ity of the large ones, like the Govern
ment-maintained camp in Washington,
or Euclid Beach Park at Cleveland.
| Ohio, are virtually at sea level and
within the heat belt of the big cities.
A striking exception to the rule is the
| tourist camp at Crawford Notch in
the White Mountains. If the Eastern
| motorist figures on Adirondack or
White Mountain temperature every
| night he stops at a public camp in
the Summer, he is likely to be car
rying too much clothing with him
and supplying himself with foodstuffs
that contain too many calories.
Here again time and place are i'm
portant in preparing for the trip. If
one plans to tour in such a way as to
spend the days in secluded sections
while at the wheel and the nights at
the public camps near big cities or
towns, he will not have to carry much
equipment with him. He can count on
places turning warm during the day,
even though the weather may be damp
and cold at night. But if he plans on
travelling at night, the camping equip
ment necessarily should vary accord.
ing to the situation likely to be en-
countered at the camp.
While it is true that the difference
between Eastern and Western motor
camping is as pronounced as the diff
ference between their respective mile
ages of hard surfaced highways, new
ertheless there are exceptions to the
general rule Before starting on the
camping trip, therefore, it is we'll to
bear in mind that Michigan. although
an Eastern State. has more than a
hundred camps; last year New York
State had some 40 or more public
camps, and this year the number prob
ably will be greater as the season
gains headway. Tourists who make
the Empire State their camping ground
will find many of the camps better
equipped than in former years.
Back to Nature.
There is much praise for the ex-
cellent camps found in the West, par
ticularly those on the routes to the
National parks but the Eastern motor
ist need not feel that his camping
via automobile will in any way be
deprived of the elements of genuine
outdoor life. AS matter of fact the
Eastern motorist who camps in the
East may really get back to nature
more than he would in touring the
West.
There is not only more incentive
TO camp alone in the East but more
actual necessity for exclusiveness for
the reasons already cited. Thus, when
the sun sinks in the West and the
long day of travel is over, there are
no electric lights to enliven the camp,
no washsta nds to remind one of home,
no supper cooked on gas stove-just
nature and the sort of camping every
red blooded motorist longs for.
After one has put in a hard day at
the wheel on a Western trip or on a
transcontinental tour it is natural to
wish for more conveniences when stop
ping for the night. The tourist is too
tired to look with favor upon the job
of building a campfire. He prefers to

Every motorist camper has passed
through his experimental trips when
after starting out on the gasoline
trail, he discovered that he had for
gotten to take along almost every
thing except himself and the car A
little forethought concerning the ne
cessities on which his comfort and the
success of the trip depend should pre-
vent an unfortunate beginning and
forestall the failure of an otherwise
pleasant experience-camping in the
great outdoors"
Articles which are of the utmost
Importance to the success of a gaso-
line tramp through the open spaces
are. first of all, those which concern
eating and sleeping. If the old adage
that an army moves on its stomach
is true of camping on a military scale.
II is no less true of the individual
camper who sets out pleasure bent. A
sufficient quantity of good, wholesome
food and the needed utensils for its
preparation should be placed at the
top of the campers list.
Small Food Supply.
The food supply of camping party
necessarily will vary according to the
tastes of the members of the party. as
we'll as according to the amount of
money to be expended. It is not nee
essary to carry a great quantity of
groceries and canned goods. as the
camper from time to time will pass
places where he may purchase addi-
tional provisions. 1t is well. however
to take along rations for two or three
days in case of an emergency Of
course, If the plan is TO establish a
permanent camp, considerable plan
ming must be done to measure the
quantity of food to be taken along.
Items of food which may be select.
ed for the campers larder include
salt pork, bacon, smoked ham. canned
meats and fish. concentrated soups
butter or lard, evaporated milk. pan.
cake flour. cereals. fresh bread. vege
tables and fruit, canned baked beans
coffee, tea or unsweetened chocolate
sugar, preserves or jellies, lemons
salt, pepper, desicated eggs. peanut
butter, crackers and many other
foodstuffs which might more nearly
tempt the appetite of the camper II
should be remembered that dehy-
drafted vegetables create a consider,
able saving in the weight and bulk
of the articles to be taken along.
They will represent an article of
food seven or eight times greater
than their original bulk.
Compact Stove Needed.
After the food for the camp is de-
cided upon, utensils for its prepara-
ton and serving should be given
thought. Many campers prefer "a
simple camp grid and depend on what
fuel they may find along the trail.
A better substitute for the hit-or-
miss cooking equipment is a gasoline
