NATURE TRAIL
PROGRAMS SET
Snake Pit Arranged For
Study By Boys Club
Campers In Middlebury

After q great deal Of study and
discussion with camp directors, Ma
ture Councillors Peter Mini, Frank
Nappy and Albert Crocco have ar
ranged O carefully balanced pro-
gram for vocation weeks at the
Boys Club camp in Middlebury.
The camp will open July 8.
The central project around which
the entire summers nature program
will revolve Is the Nature Trail.
This Nature Trail Is composed Of
two separate trails, one too be
known as the training trail and the
other the testing trail. The coun-
sellers have caught the true pur-
pose Of the trail which Is so excel.
lently expressed by the following:
"A friend somewhat versed In Ma
tural History Is taking walk with
you and calling your attention to
interesting things"
Plans are to have the Training
Trail consist Of four sections, each
to specialize In one particular as
pect Of natures playground. The
first section will concern itself with
botany and will seek to introduce
the various trees common to this
locality and the many mushrooms
sprinkled along the path. The next
section will be devoted TO moisture
loving things as ferns and insects
that live In damp places. The third
section will specialize In entomol-
ogy or the study Of insects and
their habits. The final section will
sum up the chief points Of the
other three and will ask questions
on a tag with the reverse side Of
the tag supplying the answer II 1t
Is needed.
The counsellors have planned lit
tie hooks along the trail to house
various collections Of rocks, insects,
leaves, wood samples, and even q
snake pit.

when England asked all crack shots
to register for service with an anti
parachutists corps, so many applied
the first day that there weren't enough
registration blanks available!
Not only for home guard duty but
for full fedged military service in the
field is craftsmanship important. Just
recently General George G. Marshall,
Chief of Staff of the Army, told me in
Washington that recent events have
justified our traditional regard for the
rifle" He added, with emphasis:
Modern campaigns are won by the
carefully Co-ordinated action OF air,
ground and mechanlzed units, yet it is
still the rifleman and the machine
gunner who make the fundamental
contribution to the fighting and who
cllnch the victory. Today the Ameri-
can infantryman is being armed with
highly efficient semiautomatIC rifle so
that his power and influence on the
field will be greatly increased. He
should have no equal in the world"
The regular United States soldier,
of course. knows how to use his
arms - as every adversary he's ever
faced can testify - because he has
received training from officers who be-
lieve in the American tradition of
individual craftsmanship. The impor-
tant detail now is that out of II ,0O0, 900

1t is denied by some naturalists that

never eat flesh or fish. If, in captivity,
a beaver is fed on soft food its teeth
viii grow until the mouth cannot be
closed. and it will starve to death.
The beaver mates for life. The young
are born ordinarily in May and the
family stays together for two years;
then the young beavers leave to find
mates and start colonies of their own.

DovbIe-Purpose Sport

AL this is interesting because it
indicates that an increasing number
of Americans are redlscoverlng the
pleasures of splendid sport with a
double purpose: recreation and prepa-
ration. Shooting, whether 1t be at
paper targets or clay pigeons or wild
ducks, is fascinating and consuming
pastime that appeals to all ages and
all social stations. One Of its appeals
comes from the fact that physique is
not prerequisite. Some of the finest

Endless Possibilities

MOREOVER, there are thousands of
schools, idle after four O'Clock, that
have ample space for ranges; these
could be built economically, financed
hquidated through nominal fees. In
our larger cities there are an lnCreas-
ing number of parks and reCreatlonal
areas and in many of these public trap
or skeet-shooting clubs could be estab-
llshed. The Union County Park
Commission did exactly this in New
Jersey, and the club is crowded on
week ends. Even in congested metro
politan areas there are many tall
buildings whose roofs or spacious base
ments provide ample room for this
dual-purpose pastlme.
It's fun and it's worth while. And
you might get an Illuminating slant on

An old beaver came out to make his
evening inspection. They do this every
day and repair any breaks they find
in the dam. When he saw us he struck
the water a resounding smack with
his fiat tail - notice to other beavers
that danger was afoot - and dived
out of sight. From the commotlon in
side the nearby beaver lodge, | could
be sure he was telling all the young
beavers about the strange. unpredict-
able and thoroughly unpleasant crea-
ture atop his dam.
The beaver does not use his tail, as
has been reported, to put mud into his
dam. 1t serves as prop while, sitting
erect, his broad, orange -colored, self
sharpening teeth gnaw an hourglass
pattern around the tree that will serve
to build his dam or lodge. and whose
bark will nourlSh the colony during
the long winter months. And when the
tree begins to totter he may strike the
