n a the editors corner halton county boys camp ia guest editorial b r k lemkay student minuter of olen williams united church i wonder how many of you readers are aware that there exists in this fair county of ours a camp for boys in which an effort m made to bring your son into contact with outdoor life and christian teaching well such a camp does exist and last week june 30 july 5 thirty lads ages 10 5 from the centers of water- down lowville mihon hamilton georgetown and glen williams spent their nights under canvas and their days in developing a clean mind in a sound body at camp tillicum near lowville the day commenced at 7 with exercises and a dip followed by flag raising and morning watch in addition to the canadian ensign the camp raised each day the ontario religious education council s official christian flag symbolic of the kingdom of god following worship and bible s udy the camp broke into groups for handicraft work which included kitemaking wood and metal work and plaster model mg this juvenile industry produced somewhere in the neighbourhood of from 50 to- 60 articles during the week giving opportunity for thtpexpression of all tal ents the old swimmin hole proved to be as popular as when john and mary frequented i in knee length bathing suits a generation ago however the size of the pool besieged by 30 boys at once would have caused even a sardine to feel happily comfortable in canned quarters of course no camp would be complete without its evening camp fires and this was provided each night with wednesday evening being se aside as visitors night in the minds of the boys i m certain that if von were to ask them they would tell you that the outstand ing events of the week were the catching of a i 5 inch bass in the swimming hole by a lad from waterdown and the sighting of a turtle which grew m size every time it was spotted if you have been to camp yourself you will know of what we speak when we mention the values to the boy who attends the corporate fellowship the christian atmosphere the ppportunities for worship study and play and at night only a canvas between you and gods starry firmament these are the things which

stillness reaching outw ard far away stretching past the far horizon where the landscape s lost in gray this sacred hour only in the early mom is found before the noises of the day its quietness hae drowned you sit within an arbor banked with roses in and out and meditate while listening to the quiet all about the first to break the stillness is a bird with speckled breast a friendly fledgling robin that is not long from its nest soon other birds begin to sing a sweet and tuneful lay that breaks upon the silence just be fore the noise of day and then the clang of business and the rush of working crowds descend upon the quiet of the mom like darkened clouds and next news flashes cabled from afar are quickly hurled the anxious feverish rumors of a fear torn warmad world in awe jou sit
