Outdoor Cooking Discussed
by Boy Scout Emergency Unit

The Boy Scout Emergency Ser.
vice Corps spent part of their
meeting Wednesday evening in the
Normal Gymnasium in discussion
OF outdoor cooking. DR.. r. Clyde
Ford gave a talk on this subject
which included some OF his many
experiences in the outdoors.
Special emphasis during the dis
cussion was placed on the prepar-
ing of food for the refugees OF
some disaster. Food for people
in such large numbers and under
the handicaps OF an emergency
would necessarily consist OF one
pot meals. By this is meant such
dishes as stews where the entire
meal is prepared together in one
large kettle or boiler. DR.. Ford
gave some OF his favorite recipes
for outdoor stew, boiled beans and
banock or campers biscuits.
One OF the main criticisms that
the Indian had OF the white mans
camping was that he builds too big
a Are and he is not careful TO build
Il in a safe place.
Plans were discussed by each
patrol for their outdoor meeting
next Wednesday. Each patrol will
be required TO prepare for them
selves a one-pot meal and to bake
biscuits in frying pans. The
Scouts will 90 to a woods west
OF Ypsilanti in time TO have their
dinner ready to eat by 6 o'clock.

The tying OF emergency knots
was also a part of Wednesday
nights meeting. Scouts OF the
Emergency Service Corps are re-
quired to tie nine knots with at
least a one half inch rope and to
know the uses of each knot. These
knots are the square knot, two
