It is amazing what time and service these men give their communities rin and year out. : While in London, Mr. Anson Walker, who is on the staff of the Western University, as a lecturer in botany, took the editor through the University (a short course). The scientific equip- ment is very Somplete, and the buildings are excellent in type, splendidly situated in a broad expanse of beautifully undulating d well ed grounds. With the vision which the board of governors have for the future of this university, it should become Fone of the most famous of our Canadian seats of learning in the years to come. It is young as yet. 3 London is a most home like city, with beautiful homes and exceptionally wide streets.

The camp, which is a new and highly successful venture, is under the direction of Rev. C. R. Daniels, of Sunderland. It is interd inational and open Yo all trict. Seferal of took, advantage e camp, A very inte: and instructive course has been mapped out. The camp has been lucky in securing very capable instructors along various lines, Rev. H. Wolfrain, of Wilfred, and Rev. Mr, Owens, of Uxbridge, take Junior and Senior Bible study respectively. Ross Crosby, Uxbridge, gives both senior and junior instrue- tion in Camperaft. Mr. "Ted" Poole, Toronto, is swimming instructor and is also conducting a class in model plane building, First aid is taught by Mr. Owens and last but not least Rev. C. E. Dyer, Greenbank, gives a talk on musical appreciation, after each dinner and supper. The camp is kept spick and span' at all times. Every morning there is a clean-up period during which the whole campground is cleared of refuse and debris. The Star learned that Dr. Jeffrey, M.O.H. had inspected the camp and pronounced it sanitary and a model of neatness. | Every precaution has been taken to! insure the health and happiness of each boy.

The camp is very fortunate in its situation and lay out. The tents (19 of them) are grouped in a large horse- shoe losing gh room for two ball diamonds. A large marque is used for a dining tent and assembly hall. Four ladies, Mrs. Leask and Mrs. Case, of Uxbridge; Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Baker, Sunderland, very generously volunteerer to act as camp cooks, and according to the boys they take care of that department splen- didly. The recent installation of the hydro in the camp site lights the spot at nights and makes possible the use of a magic lantern which is a pleasant feature of the evening programs. In view of the success of the camp it is intended to make it an annual event, Next year it may last a fort- night, with a week each for boys and girls. Mr. Daniels and those who have 80 _effici asgisted him are to be congratula on such a splendid camp, Pageant Given On Wednesday night a feature of the campfire program was a pageant entitled "The Last of the Hurons" given by the boys of the camp. It was historical in nature and depicted the tinie in which the dwindling Huron 'tribe bury their treasures and are an- nihilated by the fierce Iroquois. Those fortunate enough to witness it de- clared it to be very interesting. Rev. Mr. Green, B.D, Inducted as Minister at Seagrave. Mrs. A. L.
