SCOUT CAMPING
COMMIT TEE TO
MEET TONIGHT

s. L. McCrory, Boy Scout cXecu
tive, states that the camping con-
mittee will meet tonight at the scout
headquarters to plan the develop
ment of a permanent camp site and
take definite steps toward acquiring
one.
The Boy Scouts of the valley have
been using the Y. NJ. C. A. camp in
the Laguna mountains as their sum-
mer camp, but the leaders think it
their own permanent camp and Me-
Crorv states that, as Laguna is the
only summer playground which is
practical for the scout work and at
the same time accessible to valley
travel, the scout leaders desire to
get a site as soon as possible in or
der that they may work out mod
crn camp plan and decide on the
best means of insuring perfect SAN
itation.
McCrory also states that Since the
road to Laguna from the junction
was repaired last spring it is wide
enough to allow comfortable travel
and is in good condition at all times.
1t is reported that the forest serv
ice favors widening this road to the
standard width and that steps are
already being taken toward this end.
All of these factors will be taken up
at tonight S meeting and definite
arrangements agreed on.
Members of the camping commit
tee are Frank Weed, chairman and
j. Stewart Ross also of FL Centre,
William +. Beale of Holtville and
j. Ralph Anderson of Brawley.

Upon his arrival in Savannah,
Col. Fletcher paid high tribute to
the modern automobile and to the
principles of automotive construc-
tion which make such trips possible
An astonishing lesson according to
the Colonel is that the modern car
can stand such service and still be
ready for the return journey as
though this had been only day S
pleasure trip.
Col. Fletcher who is president of
the Borderland Highway and a good
road enthusiast made the trip. not
as a racing stunt, but for the pur-
pose of drawing attention to the
high state of development of south
ern highways at a time when the
southland is calling to northern
tourists. Another reason was to
arrive in the east for n return in
spection and conference. trip over
the Old Spanish Trail.
Because of the rapid development
of the whole south, the time has
come, according to Col. Fletcher,
for all sections of the south to
come together, complete this south
crn trunk line from San Diego
through to st. Augustine, Fla, and
make it the best known and best
improved highway in the United
States. At the present time he is
