CAMP LIFE IS 5000 MUCH FUN! BOYS ENTERTAIN GIRLS

For two days before the girl Scouts arrived for an afternoon and evening visit, the main topic of conversation with the fellows was the fact that they were com ing; though it was generally agreed that the girls. were a pain in the neck" But, comes the day of tribulation, and the boys can scarcely wait for one o'clock. And then the time went much too fast, even for the most ardent woman haters. If this is in need of proof, it may be quoted that the Scout Leader had diff ficulty in getting the boys quiet enough to sleep last night. Reas- on: the only topic of conversation was the dreaded" visit. Such questions as these were heard (Which one do YOU think was CUTEST?" And, "Why the heck did you let a GIRL beat you in that race?" P. s. The girls won , almost all of the races.)
 More Scout tests have been passed, too: Jerry Seidenverg is now First Class Scout; Frank Sheldon and David Bowen are Tenderfoot Scouts.
 Newcomers Jerry Thompson, Max Gray, and Douglas Willard were greeted and welcomed to camp in the usual way; and they are finding today, that camp life has some work connected with it too,-they are cooks helpers and water boys.
 Camp is half over and the fel- lows have only one regret and that is that this statement is true.

BY the Asseeiossd Press

other step toward State acquisition
of Woodrow Wilson Hospital was
taken yesterday when the State

cation to take over part Of the for

vepco 10 Rebate
Half on Bills
For December
sec Gives Approval
ToMove Benefiting
300, 900 Home Users
By the Assoeiotsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 7.-Ap.
proximately 100000 electrical res
idential customers of the Virginia
Electric g. Power Co. will receive
q so per cent rebate-amounting to
some $3.50, ,000-on their December
bills under voluntary agreement
announced by the State Corporation
Commission.
John w. Howard, VEPCO vice
president at Alexandria, said that
the order affects about $4,000 con-
sumers in Arlington, Alexandria and
Fairfax.
Mr.. Howard pointed out that bill
ing Is carried out on a continuous
basis, with customers in different
sections receiving bills on different
days Of the month, explained that
the reduction would apply on bills
for which the meter reading was
made in December. The first of
these bills will reach consumers
early next week, he said.
The move to return to the con-
sumers some of the company's
'sheavy" earnings of 1946 will mark
the second reduction this year af-
fecting Vepco. Its general rate
structure was reduced last April,
with an estimated saving to its
patrons of 1892, 900, and the "re-
bate" will bring the total to more
than $2,000,000 this year.
The sec also announced that the
company's rates would be further
reviewed next April, and said that
! 1t was "in view of the present un-
settled economic conditions" that
the commission had decided not to
order a further reduction in rate
schedules at this time, but agreed
instead to the voluntary December
rebate.
The commission, in a statement
by Chairman L. Mccarthy Downs,
explained, as an example Of the
operation Of the rebate plan, that
If customer receives a December
bill for So he may discharge the bill
in full by payment of 81.
The sec said Vepco had had
very good results" from its earnings
in 1916 and that the commission felt
the reduction in operating revenues
was justified.
