To Have Canteen
There will be a camp canteen or
sandwich bar at the camp this
summer where sandwiches, coffee,
cold drinks, crackers, candy, cakes,
cigarettes, etc., will be available.
The canteen will be located in the
old dining hall at the end of the
lake near the swimming area.
Picnic Facilities
Last year a considerable part of
the camp was developed into pic
nic areas and several barbecue pits
were built so that families might
have a place where they could cook
their meals. This proved so popular
that the general picnic areas have
been enlarged and improved and
additional pits will be added. Pres
ent indications are that many Ecu-
sta families will be using these
picnic facilities again this sum
mer.
Other Improveiments
Adequate parking facilities will
be provided at the camp and lo
cated as near as possible to the
centers of activity. The lodge is to
be painted and new furniture will
be installed and more playground
equipment will be added to the
children’s playground area.
Full Program Planned
There will be a full program ol
recreation during the season which
will include all kinds of sports and
social activities such as tennis,
softball, shuffleboard, horseshoes,
swimming, boating, family picnics,
departmental picnics, bingo, mov
ies, square dancing, band con
certs, special family nights and
many other entertainment fea
tures.
The full program of activities
will be announced as soon as all
arrangements have been complet
ed.

The majestic forest which sur
rounds Camp Sapphire is a thing
of beauty, to be enjoyed by us
all. But forest fires can destroy
much of this beauty and make our
camp a “Paradise Lost.” There
fore, it is important that every
one helped prevent forest fires.
Here’s how you can do it:
Matches. Be sure your match is
out. Break it in two before you
throw it away.
Smoking. Smoke only when and
where permitted, and then only
in a safe place clear of all inflam
mable material.
Tobacco. Be sure that pipes and
cigar or cigarette butts are dead
before throwing them away. Never
throw them into brush, leaves, or
needles.
Making camp where; open camp
fires are permitted. Before build
ing a fire, scrape away all inflam
mable material from a spot five
feet in diameter. Dig a hole
in the center and build your camp
fire. Keep the fire small. Never
build it against trees or logs or
near brush.
Breaking Camp. Never break
camp until your fire is out—dead
out. Always leave a clean camp.
How to put out a camp firet Stir
the embers while soaking them
with water. Turn small sticks and
drench both sides. Wet the ground
around the fire. Be sure the last
spark is dead.
Make your visit to Camp Sap
phire a safe and enjoyable one,
and leaving, know that its beauty
will be there for you to enjoy up
on your next visit.
It is your business to help keep
the plant clean.

LEANING
15y JOHN li. GOOLSBY
Well, another thirty days have
been checked off the calendar. *
wonder how many of us b^ve
checked back and have seen
we have done with the water that
passed under the bridge never W
return. One of the main events
over this period of time was tb®
bingo party at the cafeterU'
Brother, they were really pacW®
in there, and for two solid houfS’
we sat there, lacking one nuffll>®f'
with nylons going fast. Belie'^®
me, that was a wonderful party.
I would like to say somethioj
about the Mill Office group—aU °
them. Those people are alway®
ready to mend your ills, from a to®
of coal, to recommending a go®
hospital; all questions answeref*'
even though it takes time and Ip*^
of patience. You get all this
a smile.
A man is as old as he feels ^
fore breakfast, and a woman ,
old as she looks before breakfas*-
Ned Medford was telling
story told by Van Owens in
Pulp Mill. I would like to rep®'’^
it: It seems there were two
that had been bosom pals
childhood, and as they grew
their characters began to get a ^
tie shady. One day they faced
other in court. One, called “ButcWj
was tried for stealing a watch,
the other, “Weasel”, was tried * .
stealing a cow, and they were ^
to the same prison road camp- ® j
day, while making little ones ^
big ones. Weasel hollered do'*'
the line to the one with the
tence for stealing the watch,
what time is it?” Butch took %
hat off, shaded his eyes, * y
squinted at the sun. Scratching
head a little, he said, “I j
rightfully know, but it ’pears tJ ^,1
it’s mighty close to milking tin*
Perhaps the cause of more au‘^
mobile wrecks than train
is that the engineer doesn’t try
neck the fifeman.
A stranger appeared at the
bined Post office and general j
and inquired whether a regis^j
letter addressed to him had ^
received. “Yup,” said the
ter, “such a letter is here, but
you prove your identity?” jj,
The stranger scratched his p.
and pulled from his pocket a
shot. After carefully looking ^
picture over, the postB*^^,
glanced at him once more and
“By heck, that’s you, all
here’s your letter.”

Did you ever live where
spend money they haven’t
buy things they don’t need, to
press people they don’t like?
So long.

There was a young girl fro®'
Who said “Housekeeping’s ^
than I’s usta.”
Then one day in her smoke
She found dirt from the
Now she’s a cleanliness boost
