Heard on Rogers and
tevens Wall Street
Petition.
Major V. L. Peterson of Providence.
government engineer, was in this city
yesterday. and held a hearing on the
petition of Rogers (c Stevensto erect
a building over the Norwalk river. The
building planned will be Just north of
their present store and would extend
about half way across the river.
Corporation Counsel William F.
Tammany stated that he thought that
the city had a prior title to he land.
and that the city might build there.
Attorney Comlcy of Bridgeport rep-
resented Rogers 6:. Stevens. He stated
that the local concern had been great-
ly handicapped in business by the
widening of the street. He. said that
the. ewctlon of the new building would
better the appearance of the section.
as the river was not used for any pur-
pose at the presz-nt time.
Others who spoke for the Rogers 8;
Stevens (‘otnpnnv. Were “'alier H.
Pierson. Dr. J. Milton (‘obur‘rL William
L. Olsen and Judge James T. Hub-
boll.
Attorney Edward J. Quinlan rep-
Iresented the first taxing district. He
advocated the erection of n. Municipal
building on the site. ("hnrlee Dilworth
spoke against the erection of any pier
there. as the ice in the winter flowing
down the river would be dangerous.
It was brought out by Corporation
(‘ounsel Tammany and (‘lty Engineer
Eula. that several rowbonts navigated
the stream at this point. and that if
the building was erected the stream
would be closed to nnvicntion.
Major Pierson will frownrd a report
to “'ashinzton and a docsion on the '
matter will be forwarded to Major
Pierson in about a month‘s time.

For three years. now. Camp Mo-

provided a healthy atmosphere. at the

camp fire was lighted. The boys sat
around this-.for.awhilo. but soon be-
gan to wander around to their vari-
ous tents to prepare their bunks.‘
The lanterns were .ligbted and ev-
erything was quiet until the rumor
circulated that they were going to be
served with watermelon and cako.
and then everyone was astir. Then
one of the scoutmasters blew his whis-
tie and lined the boys up. They were
marched around to the commi-ary
tent in single file and each one was
handed his ntion of melon and cake.
Scout Charles Peterson of Troop
Six seemed to be very popular around
the camp. One of the Scouts said
"Petie" was the life of the place.
One of the. Scouts who was known
as “Smitty" entered the hospital tent
last night and complained of a. sore
throat. Marshall Hoyt who is one of
the Scout Halters. looked the lad
over and decided to give bi ma gargle
of salt and water. and when "Smitty"
was handed the cup the first thing he
said was. “Gee I hope that this stuff.
isn't eastor oil."
Soon the bugle blew "taps.”
The camp is in charge of Scout
Commissioner Charles Dimond. who
is assisted by several scoutmastor and
member of the Scout Council.

Dr. P. Cnstellano.
City.
Dear Dr. Castellanoz—
I am. taking this means to express
my appreciation for the fine work thlt
you have done in my case “'hcn I
look back at the miserable condition
in which I drugged in agony for sev.
on long years. \Vhen my appeal to
different doctors and specialists had
no result. instead I was getting worse
and discouraged; money was spent
freely to get the best of help without
obtaining it. and to think that I was
ready to lie down and give up the
struggle; I realize now how grateful
I shall be to you, how thankful I am
to my friends that recommended me
to you and submit to your care. and
happy 1 am today that I did.
At first I doubted that I could be
lured. with satisfaction I may say that
I owe my gratitude to you for the
return of my health. 1 have gained
Dine pounds in four weeks. 1 am able
to eat and enjoy anything that comes
along. No more nauseating distress-
ing feelings. no more pain in the right
side of the small of my back. I feel
much younger. more ambitious and
able to produce much more and bet-
ter work than I have been able to do
before I began the adjustments.
Hy case was diagnosed as chronic
Indigestion, followed by sciatica. of six
rs standing. I shall be glad to
mend all sufferers. to come to
you as I think you are the right man.
Yours truly,
put up tents. to transfer provisions.
to get concillors and leaders for the
boys. but the task was near enough
completed to open camp by July first.
The boys stayed in two-week periods.
and they helped build and clear the
land and make paths. The month of
camp was such a. decided success that
it was arranged to have a. month for
girls. About five Norwalk girls attend-
ed that first year at Camp Mohawk.
and the next - year three times as
many went for two-week periods.
Ta: in a Tent
There were ten tents. ten ‘n a tent
-—nine boys and a leader. There was
a. mess tent. with ten tables. and the
director's table. There was “Berry
Hall" the kitchen. named after Mr.
Berry. the cook. whose winter pro-
fession is principal of a school in
Danbury. There was a headqmrters
tent. where candy was sold every
noon. where medicine was kept. and
where they had a typewriter that
typed the famous "Mohawk Eagle."
a paper that was read at the camp-
fire every evening. It contained a.
record of all the happenings of the
day. including the remarks heard at
“tape" inside the various tents. That
first year there were no floors to the
tents. and it was a very rainy season.
and consequently everybody got an
habitual dousing. as well as the suit
cases and beds. The result was that
almost everybody caught cold. but
that didn't discourage them.
was started, and today the campers
are able to enjoy the use of two fine
courts.
The road to Camp Mohawk. three
years ago. was only passable with a
Ford. Today. Packards and Rolls-
Royces can pass comfortably.
Yet Camp Mohawk has not lost.
any of its original charm by having
modern conveniences. The woods. the
trees. the lake. the mountains are as
beautiful as ever. The air at the ‘
camp is so bracing. all the visitors
notice it as soon as they arrive.
On the last night of camp. before
breaking up. the campers are award-
ed their "M's." This is always a. time
of intense excitement, and much wild
speculation among the campers as to
who will and who will not be awarded
the coveted “M." It is given to those'
campers who have earned 1.006
points. These points are given for
skill in swimming. diving. tennis.
boating. track meet. General atti. "
tude is marked. Physical condition.
ability in literary and dramatic ao- ,
tlvities. interest and attention. all
these count. - '
