Visitors Compliment Camp Sapphire Setup Jimmy Haynes, personnel di rector of the nationally known Cramerton Mills at Cramerton, and Mat Matlack, recreation di rector at the sanie mill, were visi tors at Camp Sapphire during the month and were highly compli mentary of the fine program be ing conducted there this summer. Mr. Haynes and Mr. Matlack were particularly impressed with the lake, the picnic area, and the ^ shuffleboard and tennis area. They also remarked about the splendid manner in which the camp was maintained. “Daddy,” began the little boy. “All right, one more question, but only one,” sighed the tired father, “what is it?” “How far,” inquired the tot, “is it between to and fro?” “Greorge, are you spitting in the fish bowl?” “No, mother, but Tm coming close.” Home—a place where a man is free to say anything he pleases, because no one will pay the slight est attention to him.
