Mrs. Vernice Brownell, Girl Scout
commissioner, makes the statement that
there will not be better camp any
where than the new camp on BURNSIDE
lake.
The camp will be named this summer
and the name given it will stand Off
cially for years to come.
Thanks to Commissioner joseph Yer
anth, the road has been improved
tremendously from the turn off to the
camp.
Miss Raisky is working night and day
and deserves much credit-in fact had
she not been on the job constantly we
wonder very much if there would have
been a camp this year, says Mrs
BroWnell.
To Mrs. Oscar Carlson, camp chair
man, and her trusty crew, many laurels
are due. Also to those who have gone
out week after week and worked SC
willingly to make the camp a success
To Mrs. Vera Kotchevar, Mrs Lena
Bohince, Mrs. Victor Ahlstrom, Mrs
Nels Lee, Mrs. Mary Murn, Mrs. G. T
AyreS and Mrs. Marjorie Rorabeck also
are special thanks due. All connected
with the work of placing the new camp
in condition for the camping period, are
to be commended.
Registrations are coming in much
better and all indications are for a full
camp. The commissioner states that
if you desire to get in on the camping
period, get your application in as soon
as possible.

Narrowly Escape Death
When Gas Tank ErpLOdes.

Heron Lake-Four Heron Lake men
and William Volden, Milan road con-
tractor, can consider themselves very
lucky that they are alive today for they
missed injury or possible instant death
by hairs breadth. With blast that
was heard all over town, 65-gallon
gasoline tank for caterpillar tractor,
which was being welded at a blacksmith
shop, blew up without warning. The
tank had been filled with water and
emptied before the welding operation
was started, usual precaution before
doing such work on gasoline tanks. The
explosion occurred shortly after Roy
FItz Henry began applying the torch
to the side OF the tank. Both ends were
blown from it with terrific force. One
end struck the side of the shop, break
ing off 2x4 in the side wall as though
it were a match and tearing two boards
from the side wall. A piece of one
inch pipe which was hanging on the
wall directly in its path was bent into
the shape of bow. The other end of
the tank struck the opposite wall after
1t had barely grazed the back of Will
liam Fftz Henry's leg. Reinforcement
bands which were on the inside of the
tank were blown in both directions.
Seven panes of glass in three of the
shop windows were broken.
