A Homesick 1' chl
Homesick? qosh. yes! And the
most homesick of the 83 youngsters
ranging from 12 to 18 years in age
were those whose folks did not show
\up last, night. Troubles? Not
many. The. myriad mosquitoes
stirred up by the trampling of {get
of the crowd last night bothered
the boys very little. Their skins
have become case-h'nrdcncd. for
some of the scouts wore the reg-
ulation summer “shorts" with bare
knees presenting defiance to the in-
vaders. There have been few
casualties, and those only minor in
nature. Those boys who have not
shed a. little blood from cuts and
scratches are looked upon as only
the unfortunates who could sport

shape of bandages.
Grub has been plentiful and the

ference for one article of food with

these cases is that of the chap who

Dry Despite Rain.
The all-night rain Tuesday proved
no setback to the camp. All tents
are shipshape and scnworthy and
the boys snuggled in for the night
and laughed at the elements. The
only times they have been wet have
been on the two visits each day
to the pond to disport themselves
by canoe, rowboat and raft. with no
more than the absolutely necessary
"'tights" to hamper movements.

reached the hilltop in Redding

started the building of the camp and

was the cooking headquarters. set
