" August 18, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 31 SCOUT NEWS (Continued from page 30) Scout Describes New Camp Site at Spring Lake, Wis. by George Bersch About 300 miles north of here in Langlead county, Wis., lies Spring Lake, not far from Highway 55. The lake has high shores covered nearly all the way around hy a heavy growth of timber. It has a hard sand bot- tom and a good deal of wild life lives in this vicinity. It is not far from a large game preserve. It is near the Wolf river where Scouts can make canoe trips, and not far from the Menominee Indian Res- ervation. The council is purchasing three dif- ferent tracts of land, including 9 Forties which will control the entire shore line of the lake. THIS WEEK'S SONG (Suggested by Scout Wm. Ryan) Note: Scouts are invited to send in a copy of the song they most enjoy sing- ing. A different song will appear every week. That Old Scout Troop of Mine (Tune: "That Old Gang of Mine) Gee, but I'd give the world to see That old Scout Troop of mine. For in my soul that old patrol Will always gleam and shine; Goodbye, forever, old tenderfoot days, Goodbye, forever, you're gone quite a ways, God bless them, Gee, but I'd give the world to see That old Scout Troop of mine. REPORTS SUMMER PROGRAM I enjoyed everything in general at Camp Checaugau. We had a fine time Soothes and Refreshes Motorists' Eyes Eyes strained by hours at the wheel and irritated by exposure to sun, wind and dust are instant- ly relieved by Murine. It soothes away the tired, burning feeling; clears up the bloodshot condition. Carry it with you on motor trips to refresh and protect your eyes. Also keep a bottle of Murine in your locker at the country club for use after golf, tennis, swim- ming and other sports. A month's supply of this beneficial lotion costs but 6oc. Try it! Write Murine Co., Chicago, for FREE books on Eye Beauty and Eye Care URINE 'EYES WILL RACE SATURDAY Outboard Motor Regatta Postponed from Sunday Because of Rough Lake With the hope Lake Michigan will be calmer Saturday afternoon than it was last Sunday, the North Shore Out- board Motor association has sched- uled its Lake Michigan Champion- ship regatta for this Saturday at 2. Water too rough for the small out- boards to navigate caused the post- ponement. Fifty entries are expected to be here for the races which will be in classes B, C and D, free-for-all and displacement. Some of the best driv- ers in the middle west are among those planning to compete. Ben Samuelson of Traverse City, Mich.,, Ben Coler of Gary, Ind, the Indiana state champion; Malcolm Pope, the Florida champion; Howard Richardson, the Mississippi Valley champion; his daughter, Mary Alcott, who recently won the Mil- watkee-Chicago marathon; Charles Davis with his "Stetson Girl" are among the entrants. Some of the local racers entered are Joe Brubaker in Baby Bullfrog, Guy Keefer in Miss Evanston, Anthony and a good chance for advancements. I have taken other trips to Sawyer, Mich., Lake Geneva and Starved Rock this summer.
