years assistants will return. They
are Lloyd Doc" Minor, camp ply
sician, who graduated from Trinity
college last week and James Beach.

scout. The staff will be rounded out
by a very competent water front
man to be in charge of swimming
and junior and senior life saving.
Two men are now being considered
for this position, and the decision is
expected in a few days. Isaac
Daniels. the Negro cook from the
New Haven University club. will be
chef for another season. Patrol
leaders and high ranking scouts who
measure up to high standard will
act as tent leaders, and several
scoutmasters and assistants have
volunteered their services as part
time assistants to the camp staff.
Scout Executive Erickson says
that he will try for proper balance
of work and play in the activity at
camp, feeling this should suit both
campers and their parents. Boys will
be given an opportunity, to measure
up in scout leadership and become
more worthwhile to their troops.

wondered here today If the acclaim
heaped upon Charles A. Lindbergh
by his country might not wipe out an
unjust stain on an honored name.
The old man Is Francis A. Land and
he is Lindbergh's great-uncle.
For sixty years he has been on
Civil War rolls as dese1ter: for
sixty years he has fought bitterly
and unavailingly to clear the family
name OF that dishonor.
And now, at 81. he lives alone
and friendless in one room, in de-
spair. His one hope is that, in the
glare focused on his nephew, he
may win his last battle.
Capthred at Charlottesville
Land lived in Buffalo, n. Y, and
volunteered with the Grand Army
when the Civil War broke out.
AS private in Company c. Third
Maryland infantry, he took part in
the severe fighting of the famous
Peninsula campaigns. Then In 1868.
his regiment was one Of those over

Charlottesville. Land. wounded, was
captured and confined in Libby
prison.
According to Land. he stayed in
prison until the war ended. Army
records list him as having been
parolled before Lees surrender. At
all events. he became separated
from his company after his
release. III. partly delirious, he
made his way to his home at Buff
falo.
For months he recuperated there.
Then he sought to look up his old
messmates. 1t was in vain. His out
fit was scattered, most of the Of
ficers were dead and his records
were gone.
Land applied for a.pension: and
then he discovered that against his
name on the army records at WASH
ington was the notation: "Deserter."
