THURSDAY, AUG. 27th, 195 9 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, EOWMANVILLE. ONTABTO I~AflU VYWU!u'. - G-I by Donna McLaughlin and Verna Harris At last camping time had corne! The Blackstock Guides and their four leaders were joined by Guides fromn Orono, Bowmanville, Port Hope, and Scugog Island to go for two weelca to the Provincial Train- lng Camp at Doe Lake. hMs. Gwenyth Thomýpson, captain of the Blackstock com- p any, wae in charge of tihe, Capand ber assistants were Mrs. Shirley Turner, Mrs. Dor- othy Marlow and Mrs. Mlaine Bailey, ail leaders in Guides and Brownien. We went by Garton's Bus on July lst over to Manchester, then on Highway No. 12 through Beaverton. Graven- Shurst, Hunrtsville, then straight te Doe Lake. Those of us whno had been there before knew we would see a bare field, but after a hard, tiring job of setting up eleven tenta, it looked like a camp site. Some of the names of the tents were Dew-Drop Inn, DrifttInn, Sleepy Hoi.iow, Owls' Air, Rail or Steamship TIC K ET S TO EVERYWHERE * Consuit JURY & LOVELL 15 King St. W. MA 3-5778 Bowmanville Pen and Panther's Ride-out. Each tent had a Patrol Leader and a seconder. Each day a tent was in charge of-shiners, cooks, woo4d"and water patrol, what-nots. sani- tation and free. The Shinersl set the table, buttered the breati and put a quart cf rmilk on each table. The cooke bad ta ge~ up the earliest and prepare tht meais. The Wood and Water Patrol kept the camp supplied with these two necessary items. What-nots had ta keep the camp site clean cf papers and raise and lower the flag. The sanitation patrol kept the "Lats" clean and washed out the grease pits, which job we considered the wocat. On Saturday, July 5th, we were taken ta Gull Lake Park to 6ee our Queen and Prince Philip. The Brownies and Girl Guides were right up near the front so we had a wonderful look at bath cf themn. The Queen wore a pale blue dres with pleats and white hat, shoes, purse and gloves. It was a thriihing day, even if aur bus did break down on the wav and we had te squeeze in withi an- other lo.ad On Saturday evening a com- pany cf American Girl Guides fram Massachusetts invitedu ta jain them at the ",Amp^ha. Theatre" ta help celebrate the 4th of July. The first week we went', Camping at Doe Lake Summer 1959 Over 3,000 Peo pie See Orono Man Win Boat At Street Carnival swirnming for a haif-hour ln the marnmng and at 2.30 until 3:00 in the afternoon. Our swimming was div ided into g roups. The Juniors with red bathing caps; the Intermedi- ates with blue bathing caps and the Seniors with white ones. If you could swim one hundred yards and tread water for ter minutes you could go out in a canoe. It was really fun. 'Evervý, daY we ail stood very patientiy when the mail bag came. It was sure a thrifl to get a letter from home. On Thursday we made nick- names for our Leaders. Mrs. Thompson was "Toot" because she blew the whistle; Mrs. Bailey was "Pagos Pete": Mrs. Turner was "Smiley" and Mrs. Mariow was "Cookie" because she was the chief cook. If we called them "Mrs." we had ta wash the pots and pans. The first Sunday at Camp was "Visitors' Day" for parents and friends and we sure had a camp full that Clay. We had a lot of fun on Ini- tiation Day when the first year campers had to bow down and, say "Your Majesty". If they forgot, they got a streak of lip- stick on their face. They also had to v0ear their hair parted in the middle, and wear one shoe and one rubber. The first year leaders also were initiat- ed. Everyone proved to be a good sport. On Tuesday, July 7th, we went by bus to Algonquin Park. This Park is a vast area of woods, lakes and paths. We visited the Museum where we saw stuffed animais, birds, mice and snakes. We then had a fif- teen minute drive aroundý Found Lake, then stopped an-I, had aur dinner which we had with us. After this we went on a na- ture trail thr<5ugh the woods whichi took an hour and 151 minutes. Then we went back to the Museum where a man told us much information about the park. On the way back to camp we stopped in at "Indian Joe's Place" where you could buy souvenirs and have your picture taken in an Indian Headdress of feathers. The rest of the week went very quickly. On Wednesday we went aver to the Doe Lake, Guide Camp Administration building ta buy crests, badges and books. On Saturday night we had a "cook-out" at the Amn- pha Theatre". Also, Mr. Ivan Thompson and Bill and Mr. Jim Marlow arrived at camp that night, and we enjoyed! their treat of hot chocolate and potato chips. Our second Sunday at Camp was Church Parade. There was lots of hustbing around as thîr- ty-two Guides and four leaders got ready ta go ta churcci at IBurk's Falla. A few visitera came that day but we carrieti on with aur regular pragramn. We had a group picture taken and %vent swimming. Our swim program the second week was i one hour in the afternoons. O n Tuesday we cleaned up the camp site and h.ad ta strike several tenta. At Campfire an Tuesday evenîng we had a "mock trial" which was a bat of fun. That night we ail slept out under the stars. Wednesday rnorning we pack- forms, had our dinner a littie earlier and sat down ta, wait for the bus te take us home. We had a wonderful two weeks at Doe Lake.
