At: tbe grourads the boys were di- vided into patrol groups witb a senior officer accompanying' eacb group. Eacb boy- had been permitted to draw tip to one. dollar fromn ' is bank' accourat be- fore leaving camp, and. with this amnount to 'spend, each boy took ira almost ev.erytbing' that the fair had te offer.e In spite of beïing tather crowded while on 'the. truck, ail ofthe boys epressed pleasure at baviabenbe to take advantage ofthe opportunity te seettthe exhibits and side shows' of the fair.

The entire camp, under 'the observation of: 'several visitors, took part 'ira raî-sing. and setting the pole ' ira *the,'five-foot k hole which the campers bad-previouüsly. mnade. The new 'pole seem:s telhe about twice the' heiglit of 'the former, pole, ,accordi'ng to those wbo bave seen both of theni.

While we were "Hearing Them Bell" boys, Mr. Wightman and bis cohort ji crme, Dick Wichman, tri'ed.to blow up the mess hall with a flashlight cartridge., Mr. Baker thougit lie was shaking, hands with the under- taker, but it *was only, Doctor Mliii- gan. The doctor unintentionaliy took '.an afternioonh dip the other day when lie missed his aim ira a broad jump f rom' the barge to a log on the west side, of the lake.. John Davidson, .wh-le, on waiter 's duty, actually carried ten.cups with- out handies, unassisted and at one and the'same time. Sôon after, he sat down and collapsed' from thé strenuous exercise of -moving .a knife f rom oune plate-to anothee. At dinner receaitly the ent ire ca mp enjoyed the 'Order of the Arrow candidates' chorus when they sulent- ly sang "Silent Niglit." The 'Order candy-dates tried to tell how they spent the niglat, but their 'foolish signs and actions made them look like salesmen-in sulent pictures-or possibly it resembled a father walkipg the floor with the young 'un. 1Iow a Sçout Behaves JWhen Emergency Arrives 1-ow ananyv of tis who come suddenly upon detaciments of khaka-clad kicis' rnoving with more orI ess irregularity along, the co'untr. highways.1 give a sec.; ond thouglit to what is going, on in the minds of these, youngsters?'

Durirag the next five hours, while waiting for the tide to- turn so that the tugboat could get along on its way north, the :tireless Scout applied an improvised, rubber ice bag to the pulpy kree of bis patient.

Last year1 the, camp, hos pital consisted of two tents,' facing eachý other with, a tarpaulin covering the opening between thern. This, arrangement. was hardly suitable .for the, camp last summer and with the facilitiês of the camp enlarged this year to accommodate almost twice the lnumber cared for last, year, the, hospital building became. an absolute. necessity.' ýThe. building, is constructed of the same imitation ilog lumber used ira ail the camp buildings, and conýsists ofa large. ward room, a treatmerat ro om, and1. private. quarters for: the , camp physician, which are ira tbe main part of the building. In the north wing is the camp museuna, iocated there tem- porariiy, and a lavatory.' There is also a' screened porch, run-ning the. length. 'Of the north wing oh the west side. In the ward roomf, in the 'main -part of the building, there are four:regular hiospital beds and room for five emferg- ency cots. Running water and electric lights are part.'of the hospitàl% equip- menrt. The camp hospital was directed dur- ing the first two periocis of camp this, summer by Dr. C. W. Lepard, and dur- ing the third and fourth sessions is. being conducted by Dr. R. Milligan. Both Dr. Lepard and. Dr. Milligan are, regularly associated with the Univer- sity hospital at Anra Arbor, Midi. Every Scout and Scout leader wh'o comes to camp is, given a phiysical ex.- anmation the first day in camp. Each. boy's, examination -is .recorded by ýthe phyvsician and ira case a boy becomes iii ,a record is made on the exkamfination, sheet and compared to bis previous record. This enables the meclical di- 'rector to help everyone to better health. The junior oflcers urader MIr. Baker recently did some speedy work when' tIÎey took down the tents of hoti the Sea Scout and Chiraoewa villages. The tents and equipment were placed in the camp's. storébouse on, the west Side of Spring Lake. in oso i s V ~11jeiiieg 1ar4U>VÇ .1ve I1.ncC,. ignorant clinic there suddely stepped received a visit f rom the Scout.
