assistance. The board is attempting to
set up a legal division which can under
the law protect the funds that have
been intrusted to it by the taxpayers
of the United States.
"AIl of these operating divisions are
completely necessary in order that the
board may efficiently serve American
agriculture. To develop them and at
the same time develop uniform policies
of operation will demand the full eff
forts of the board for some time to
come"
So far the board has made only one
loan, an advance of 100000 to two
Florida co-operatives to aid in meeting
Government regulations imposed by the
prevalence of the Mediterranean fruit
fly. There had been some question as
to whether the board had authority to
make loans until its members were con-
firmed by the Senate, but Controller
General McCarl ruled today that it was
legal to do so.

 The lowering of the lake has brought the two camp piers almost onto dry land, and a rafe has been constructed for swimming and div ing purposes. The drought has not been without it's good effects, how ever, for the shallower water be- tween the piers has made bathing safer for the swimmers, while it has brought an old stone wall across the laks almost out of water and made it possible for the camp staff 10 consider removing this barrier formerly a source of bruised shins to unwary swimmers.

 The recreation end of camp has not been neglected. There is billiard table in the mess hall-al- though it's joint occupancy by three boys at one time has caused a sag in the middle and brought about some weird shots. A play field for baseball, volley ball, soccer, and other sports has been cleared and keemosah has held up it's end in contests against other camps on the lake. Yesterday afternoon treasure hunt was held. and, after much tramping through the woods in following out various clues, the treasure-a one-pound box of candy was won by Noxon Howard of Maple Hill, a member of Troop 4.

 That vital feature of camp life, the food, is excellent this season. the quality and quantity both being sufficient to meet the requirements of hungry boys. The kitchen police are not such down-trodden and overworked lads they have been in the past, for new system has been adopted by which the work is di- vided each day, one tent doing the actual "K.

BOY SCOUT CAMP
 SETS NEW RECORD
Attendance This Year Reveals
 Remarkable Enthusiasm

The best equipped and best con- ducted camp ever sponsored by the New Britain Boy Scout council is be- ing thoroughly appreciated by local scouts, and attendance and enthu- sasm at Camp Keemosahbee on the shores of Crystal pond. Woodstock, are setting new records. Although | the camp is now on only the fifth week of it's seven-week season, the mark for the entire 1928 season, which was a high record at that time. A total of we'll above 400 | camper weeks is expected by Scout i Executive Oscar A. Erickson, camp director. There are 65 boys in camp this week, while last week the atten- dance reached the total of 75.
 /; Never before have so many boys extended their stays at camp. Many who have signed for one week or two weeks have been loathe to leave at the end of their intended time and have persuaded their parents to allow them to remain longer. And only three boys have cut short their stays, one of these being a "misft' in a camp and the other two being | homesick cub scouts.
 Can Be Further Developed With the year-old camp site great ly improved by further development, | Camp keemosahbee has become one of the best summer camps in the cto tn nd # 1oc aI I,,,ncf 1,n1i m p1 possibilities to be realized in future years. The heavy woods has been pushed back short distance and underbrush cleared away to permit enlargement of the camp itself, while two wooden cabins for the cub scouts have been added to the seven tents used by the older campers. The mess hall has been improved and a field-stone fireplace donated by the Rotary club installed. and here the evening camp fires have been held during the cold weather of the past week. It is expected that this build ing will have to be enlarged next year.
 A handicraft tent with full con- plement of tools has been set up, and various scout officials and other local men interested in the move ment have spent considerable time at camp instructing the boys in woodkork, the making of bows and arrows. leathercraft, and other forms of handicraft. Several of the veteran scouts are we'll enough sersed in | these lines to gove instructions, and uia grams have been prepared en- abling the boys to work out the var ious articles almost by themselves. The finished work includes about a score of large bows and arrows.
 Water Reported Cold
 Under Dan Hardenburgh the scouts are making rapid strides with their swimming and life saving tests, although the recent cold weather has dampened the campers en- thusasm for the water temporarily. All those who have passed these tests in previous years are being made to review them, and others are receiving instructions and con- tinually approaching the point where they can qualify in these | difficult requirements.
 The lake surface has dropped 1 about four feet since the beginning of the summer, due in part to use of the water by an Eastford manu- factory and in part to the dry weather which has prevented the
