Its dream come true for the
Brigade Boys club, is the way Will
liam A. Stewart, director of the
Club, described the new Bruce B.
Cameron Boys camp yesterday.
The camp, located at Porters
Neck, near SCOTS Hill, is one of
the most modern boys camps in
the south. The erection of the
mess hall, cabins and other build
ings weie started two years ago
and, through the untiring efforts
of Brigade officials and Their crew
of helpers, the camp has been
steadily increased in size. The
erection of the buildings were made
possible by the contributions of
Wilmington civic-minded citizens.
Most of the material and equip
ment were donated and the ma
jority of the work done by mem
bers of the club.
The board of directors of the
Brigade voted to name the camp
in honor of Bruce B. Cameron,
an original member of the old
Brigade and Mayor of Wilmington
at the time of his death. Mr.. Cam
eron contributed much to the
| growth of the present camp.
The camp was started with one
small building and the boys used
the porch of the mess hall fo-
sleeping quarters last year. When
it opens June %, it will be the
first time that a modern boys
camp has been used in this section.
1t now consists of a large modern
mess hall, complete with ref-igera-
ton, and large range, tables for
eating and ping pong tables, books
and other games for amusemen
during the indoor periods.
Seven spacious cabins for use
as dormitories, have been built.
The camp has its own water and
power system, housed in a sepa-
rate building. A small dispensary
mas also been built to care for the
sick and injured, and this building
will be equipped with the latest type
OF first aid treatments. Sunburn.
and other minor ailments will be
treated here.
The cabins are equipped with
four double-deck beds and a single
bed for the leader. The cabins
are arranged to take care of eight
boys and leader, selected from
the older group of the club. Each
leader will be responsible for his
cabin, its condition and the grounds
around it will be policed by the
boys. Daily inspections will be
made of the cabins and prizes
rded for the best kept cabin
for the camping period.
Each boy going to the camp will
be given physical examination
before being admitted. Mr.. Stewart
said the buddy" system would be
used throughout all camp activi-
ties. Eaoh boy will be assigned a
buddy to 60 with him at all times
during the swimming, hiking and
sporting events.
In addition to the large mess hall
and recreation room, seven cabins,
a dispensary and an administra-
ton building the camp has two
large piers, built forty feet into
the water fo:' docking of boats and
other uses. A large float has been

how much construction America

denies that the requirements will
be tremendous.
And that, In turn, means that
workers in gypsum mines, quarrieS,

plants are going to be kept busy
working the year round supplying
gypsum building materials which
will be Ia greater demand than ever
before.

material shortages became less
stringent.
Surveys of the rural areas indi-
cate that large portion of the
farmers contemplate new homes,
new tenant houses, new barns, or
major repairs and remodeling-juSt
how much, no one can guess.
All these predictions, surveys, and
estimates, even the most conServa-
tive ones, give assurance to workers
and communities in the score of
states where gypsum is produced
and processed that steady employ
ment is ahead.
After a study of all available
figures and predictions, a prom
inent eastern financial writer de-
clared that the postwar building
boom will see Is per cent increase
in the use Of gypsum plaster and
gypsum boards of all types from
the prewar levels of consumption.
He predicted that the gypsum in
duStry will be called upon annually
to furnish 2,6OO,OOO,OO0 square feet
of gypsum board products - more
than all other types Of building
boards, except lumber itself, COM
bined.
But that is only beginning, &C
cording to gypsum industry mem
bers. They explained that the gyp-
sum industry has developed new
products and new uses for its older
products and is ready to help give
America better, more economical,
and safer homes and other build
ings than ever before. In so doing.
1t also will be playing an impor-
tant role in preventing any period
of unemployment.
"Reconversion" to peacetime pro-
duction, it was added, will be easy
for the gypsum industry.

Garden produce and fruit can be

Sugar in the quantities to which

Doane said. Fruits can be canned
in their own juice or with boiling

course, sugar is not necessary for
