Though the world in general nMay seem topsy-tuÉrvy, disheveled, and some-: what out of breath, there is at least one place where if e runs smoothly and: sanely, and where happiness and peace,: if not quietness, reign. This is Camp, Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan,, summer home .of the! North' Short Area'cunil of the. Boyý * Scouts of America. Spending'a week or two in'this lovely spot. is like reach-' igan oasis after traveling a cross burning desert sands. Ievery winter finds the Scouts of the, north :shore living over in meroye joys of ýthe previous vacation and dreaming of the one to corne; every spring finds the urge of the, great out- doors. growing stronger each day; every summer finds Camp 14a-Ka-ia-Wan. more beautiful,, more alluring, and bet- ter prepared to take care of the hosts; of- boys who go there. Improvements are maide right along. New buildings * and ecquiprnent are added as the de- mand increases. -Prograrnsintended to. make each new season better than -the last are worked out.

The ride by rail was also- shortened an lotir. by maling Antigo the point of departure by autof for the camp.
