WltMETTE LIFE July 6, 1928 Announce Highlights in Scout Winter Activity Boy Scouts Write North shore Boy Scouts, who are enjoying a camping expedition at the Cabin-in-the-Woods in the Forest Preserve west of Glencoe, write enthusiastically to Scout headquarters concerning their experiences. Here are two samples of some of t.he letters Scout Executive Walter McPeek is receiving at his Highland Park offices: Byron A. Nelson, Boy Scout Troo? 17, Winnetka, says, "I spent a week at Camp N or th Sh ore, an d I l'k d 't r, 1 e 1 ve ) muh. The meals were fine and we had a lot of fun. We played games out doors and had a big treasure hunt in which we had to ·hike over six miles. At night we hav~ a big camp fire and stories by Camp Director Ted Grant and Scouts. We also have songs and stunts." Scout Fritz Kaufnanns, a senior patrol leader, wrote the following: "While spending a week at Camp North Shore, I had ·a very pleasant time. For a small camp like this it is quite a wonderful place. There is plenty of opportunity to pass tests, play, and eat. The eats are excellent and the boys don't waste time while eating. There is work but not too much work-plenty of play has its place. Every night there is a camp fire and some stories. Mr. Grant, the Camp Director, is a dandy fellow. All scouts 15 years and over are nis helpers. The Cabin-in-the-Woods is the headquar ters arcmnd which the tents are situated. There are plenty of activitie ~. spurts, and fun because camping is a great life." Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Hall have gone to Canada for a trip. Mrs. Jane Goff, Mrs. Halt's mother, has come · from Hudson, N. Y., to take charge of the Hall home at 809 Central avenue while they are away. -oMr. and Mrs. ]. R.

To the Investing Publie It is a matter of no small pride to us that we are able to announce, in an adjoining column of this publication, · the full retirement on August I, 1928, of the outstanding preferred capital stock of The Orrington Hotel Corporation. This issue was offered to the investing public in January, 1926, as the initial offering under the Carlson Plan of real estate investment-a plan which not only pays 6%, with full return of principal in 7 to 10 years, but gives the investor, without cost, a half ownership in Carlson properties. The retirement of this issue in less than three years, instead of 7 to 10 years, to be followed by dividends of at least $6.00 on each share of common stock given to investors as a bonus, justifies in unusual measure the confidence of hundreds of investors in the soundness of the Carlson Plan of investment. In the continuation ·o f this plan of investment, and especially in a new attractive issue to be announced very shortly, we pledge our whole-souled devotion to those sound principles of investment exemplified in the success of The Orrington Hotel. On this basis, we confidently expect for our new offering under the Carlson Plan a response from the investing public that will justify in every respect all of our efforts toward building the utmost of .safety and soundness into Carlson investments.
