WILMETTE LIFE April 8. 1927 Kenilworth BO"'S J Look Forward to camp in canada Early indications point to a gene.ral migration of Kenilworth boys to camp this summer, according to Robert W. Townley, director of recreation for the ,·ill age and at the Joseph Sears school. The spring weathe.r provided by ~[other Nature during the past few day s, has caused an increased interest in the proposition and a numbe r of the boy s have alreaciy signed up. ~{r. Townley, who ha s b een a sso- ciated with boys' camps for more than twenty years and who has been in cha.r ge of boys' , ...·ork in Kenilworth for the last five years, is to be :n charge of the junior division of the camp at Owakonze, Ontario, . Canada, this summer. As a result, local boys signing up for that camp will be under the supervision of the man with whom they have been associated during the school period and who for that .reason knows them best. The location of th e camp, it is said, offer s an ideal place for a practical application of Scouting and the advancem e nt of the boys along those Ifield lines. Explo.rations, natu~e study and craft w1U be emphasized, according to Mr. Townley,, and, as the camp is situated in a sect1on of the country seldom visited in the past fifty years, nature in it s natural form may be studied.

I t . ., "The Voice Returned" T HE uGreat Blizzard" cf 1888 had blocked railway traffic and disrupted mail and telegraph service. Through the . drift-piled stretts of Boston groups cf men and women made their way to the public telephone stations, anxiously inquiring . whether the long distance lines to. New York were still . In service. "People did not want a · message, they wanted to talk," runs a contemporary story. "They wanted to find out where the other party was, if he was alive, indeed. *****It was the voice returned, the personal interview, that was especially valuable." A telephone conversation is the meeting of mind with mind, heart with heart. Today there are no limits of distance to the interchange of thought that binds all parts of the country together. Created in response to America's needs, a network of 50,000,000 miles of wire has given nation-wide scope tothe ~~voice returned."
