/ this coming summer as q result Of
travel restrictions, managements of
Pennsylvania organized camps for
boys and girls are looking hopefully
ahead and planning accordingly, the
State Department of Commerce
reports.
These camps had an exceptionally
fine season in 1B44. Records COM
piled by the department show there
was total attendance at the camps
of 58,459 persons as against 1896
the previous year, or gain of 10,063.
Many of the camps were filled
to capacity during the 1914 season,
some even making arrangements to
increase the number of persons that
could be accommoda by the es-.
tablishment Of tent colonies. A few
camps were required to limit the
number of guests because of in
sufficient help. In more than
score of instances registrations had
to be turned down because of camp
limitations. Practically all of them
report they already have heavy ad-
vance bookings for 1945 and all
have been receiving requests for
literature.
Most of the camps last year en-
gagged in activities that helped the
war program while building up the
physical fitness of the boys and
girls. A large number of the camps
had war gardens. In some in
stances the campers helped farmers
to harvest crops.

AS an added safety in train oper-
ations, the Chicago g. North West
ern Railway Co. is installing newly
developed red oscillating lights on
the rear Of its principal passenger
trains, 1t was announced last week
The new light is basically similar
to the red and white oscillating
headlights which were pioneered by
the North Western and are in use on
many of its trains. When a train
is brought to an emergency stop,
the flagman pushes a switch which
starts the red light cutting a large
figure "8" before he gets off the
train to post signal lights and other

greens when it is heavy enough to
bend the branches. This often
causes splitting and tends to make
