eral rowing parties. Instead Of the
usual launch ride the entire camp
visited the Affeck country home on
Thursday. The hike home in the moon
light was q new and refreshing ex-
perience. Since Kahlert without
launch ride would be distressing mis-
fortune, the council decided to make
the launch ride the elimination Of the

unusually busy day for the group, as
the day began with a breakfast cooked

ended with a fishing trip. The anna.

respect for the good sense Of fishes
in lodging hooks while getting bait.
