ployees and their families are ^oing
to have the biggest picnic that has
ever been held in this part of the
country. It will start in the forenoon
and last throughout the day and up
into the night.
Camp Sapphire, which is about half,
way between Ecusta and Brevard, has
been chosen as an ideal location. It

courts, a large flat grassy location for
all of the other contests, buildings suit
able for square dancing, first aid,
checking stations, preparing cold
drinks, and large wooded areas for
spreading picnic dinners and plenty
of parking space.
There will be every kind of contest
for every member of the family with
prizes in Defense Stamps to all win
ners. Most of the activities will center
around a boxing ring which will also
be used for a band stand. Loud speak
ers will be located over this so that
everyone can be informed as to what
is going on. The band will play
throughout the day.
Entries are coming in fast for Tug
of War” teams, boxing matches, square
dance band contests, rifle matches,
