The Forestry News Letter." q
weekly publication for the G. G. G.
camps Of the state furnishes the dope
and dirt for camp gossip and Incl
dentally brings out forestry topics Of
interest to the young aspiring fores.
tiers and conservationists.
OF special interest in the discussion
Of the welfare activities Of the camp
Is the "Kahke Band" q seven piece
orchestra composed Of G. G. G. musi-
clans, with one Of the G. G. C.'s, Moco
Lohmkuhl, king Kong in the flesh,
directing. Besides playing regularly
every Saturday night at the camp
and at the Forestry auditorium every
Wednesday night for the forestry mo-
ton pictures, they play at nearby
dance pavilions, providing outside
performances don't interfere with
their regular work and camp duties.
The Forestry Training at the camp
also includes educational and excur-
sion trips to nearby wooded areas
and other places Of interest. All the
men interested in forest nursery work
that haven't been detailed to the nur-
sery projects have had opportunity to
go with the forestry technician to VS.
1t the state forestry nursery grounds
Immediately adjacent the camp
grounds.
All in all, it certainly is evident that
this welfare work is helping us to OBJ
tain that moral and spiritual rejuven-
alton to which President Roosevelt
had reference in his speech to con-
gress concerning this work when he
said: More important. however, than
the material gains will be the moral
and spiritual value Of such work.
Anyway we are lining through some
gainful experiences that are benefit
ting US both morally as well as finan-
cially: and on the other hand, the
people Of North Dakota, Judging from
the newspaper write-ups that appear
regularly in our local newspapers, are
satisfied and are highly appreciative
Of the tremendous boost that the work
we are doing is giving the conserva-
ton program Of the state.
