We are sorry to report that very few adult help has volunteered for this very worthy camp for the girls. Troop camp training will be toeld June 11 and 12 at the campsite from 10 to 3. If the women do not come out to help, some of the girls may *41 be able to attend: All the scouts from this neighborhood look forward to camping each year but its becoming increasingly difficult to maintain a camp without adult supjervision. Mrs. John Bonder and JVfrs. Norman Morrison are planning on helping out but there should be more from this area. ! ^Thei'e is a nursery provided for younger children .'and older boys to take care of boys who are too old for the nursery, so please, if there are any women who could give up just one week of their time this l summer, please contact Mrs. Pat Morrison and she will be more than glad to give you all the information. There are twenty-eight girls ft£m Lakemoor who are registered to attend and we wouldn't like to disappoint any of them by not having the adult help to make this possible. Bus service is provided lor the girls and adults and the hours at the camp are from 10 to 3 every day for one week. Please call if you can help in any way. along with all the other units, honoring our War dead. Notice The police have received many calls on the subject of boats floating loose «n the lake.
