Miss Virgine Schultz played in her place. Vacation Bible School. It's over for another year. All the planning and preparation for the two-week period are a thing Of the past. The children seemed to like the school, so it must pave been a success. There were approximately 130 enrolled. Last Thursday, at the city park in Genoa City, there were oodles of women, children and two daddies who enjoyed the annual Bible school picnic. Short explanations of the camp and the program it plans were given by the Rev. John Spaid of Chicago and the Rev. Harold Carlson of Richmond.. Noted in the crowd were many laymen from Grace church, Richmond, most of whom had put in many hours of volunteer labor at the camp and also Pastor Burton Schroeder from Wonder Lake, and many of his congregation, and Pastor Robert Hooker and many of his parishioners. The president of the Illinois synod, Dr. Harmon J. McGuire dedicated the camp. Incidentally,-to the service and to the open house between 600 and 700 people caqie and visited and inspected Camp Alpine Sunday. Next Sunday, July 1, the first group of eighty campers will arrive to enjoy a! week at < camp. We wish you could all have seen how popular were our vet, .Doc Savage, and his oft seen red . volkswagon at the camp Sunday. Because of the huge number of cars that had to be parked, the manager had a two-acre hayfield mowed for a parking area. Many of the people who had parked in the hayfield weren't used to walking hills so Doc Savage, who was directing traffic, used his volkswagon as a bus to transport people from the parking lot to the lawn where the dedica- , tion service was held, a distance : of about one-half mile or more. : Many city folk asked when the bus would be returning to the. parking lot, but; alack and alas, Doc had to tend to his animal friends and „ many of the people., , had to walk do\yn the hill to the parking lot. We hope each and everyone of you will sometime be able to visit Camp Alpine for it is a ! place of beauty and the most logical place in the world to counteract juvenile delinquency.
