Sn the heart of the Kit Carson

•ne ot the moet anique cansps In
teeiica for young men. It is a
gmp truly national In scape for
^'Is owned and operated by the
lOtlonal Council of the Boy
‘Mouts of America to provide op-
lortnnities for Senior Scouts to
get the benefits of a rugged and
■Orenturous experience In the
vllderness. Its campers hail from
many parts of the United States.
The Philturn Rockymountain
Seoutcamp, located Just north ot
Hmarron, New Mexico comprises
SS.867 acres ot superb mountain
wrUdemess, the gift in 1938 of
Waite Phillips of Tulsa, Okla.,
who simply stipulated that It toe
•nt to practical use by -Scouts
whose experience, training, lead-
srship and proper equipment
-would enable them to enjoy ex-
yeriences like the pioneers who
Hazed the trails into the wllder-
■ess and helped to found this na-
Mon.
Already Scouts of fo-urteen
states. Including young men from
Mew York, New Jersey and Penn
sylvania, have made preliminary
yrangements to camp on the
lilderness preserve during its
i940 season 'whioh opens June 14
knd ends on Sept. 1.
Ri acceptii g the land from Mr.
Thilllpe who also provided $50,-
•00. for its development into a
camp site, the Boy- Scouts of
America, through its President,
Walter W. Head and Its Chief
Shout Executive, Dr. James E.
West, told why the Movement
wndertook to provide a national
ttmplng area for older boys,
"In providing these opportunl-
Mes for Scouts today to develop
Mie rugged self-reliance and the
■hllity to stand on their own feet
xsd to take care of themselves
and others, which were a funda
mental part of the equipment of
our pioneer forefatheis, the po-
ifcntialitles of the Scout Program
lave been greatly extended. In-
wreasingly from year to year this
snrichment will be reflected in
lie quality of our Scouting, our
camping and our leadership. The
fundamental objectives of the
Scout Program, character bulld-
mg and citizens! ip training, will
toe strengthened.’’
Chartered or Provisional
Troops, qualified by experience,
which are approved by their Lo-
~cal Council may have the xiriv-i-
Jege of camping at this high ad
venture wilderness camp, which
in a sense, is serving a-s a na
tional laboratory for te.stirig ad-
■senture program.s for older boys
within the .Movement.
Many different types ot hikes
and expeditions, varying in length
^om three days to twelve, are
provided to meet the needs of dif-
Asrent groups. Each camp site is
arranged to provide w-ater, tent-
• *> space, cooking facilities and
a_iitary facilities to accommo-
dale up to 32 Scouts and loaders,
atch group is responsible for its
•wn tentage, sleeping and cook
ing gear and is really on its own.
There's a three day back pack
mke of approximately 15 miles,
*nd a three day burro pack trip.
An "overnight horseback hike’’
combines the use of horses and
Bach packing and takes the Scout
campers away from the base camp
for two days and a night. A trip
■la the Carson National Forest in
volves a 75-mile journey over
wonderful mounUinous drives
with an overnight camp in the
"orest. The attractions of this trip
ye Eagle Nest Lake, the Red
liver country, ’he pueblos at
kos, the Mbreno Valley and
finarron Canyon. Six and twelve-
Bs exploration trips provide a
.jcsre general experience than

trips.
The Scouts’ wilderness camp—

the donor’s name and the “good

Icart of a country that had a

weeks after
made during
A very tragic story was told
me recently by a prominent busi
ness man. I cannot give you his
name or town but many of you
might remember reading about
the case. He said that the wife of
a friend of his lost her mind and
became very difficult to control.
The husband made application to
have her committed to one of our
State hospitals but was told that
they had no room for her. She
was so disturbed that she could
not be left alone day or night.
The man had a little money in
the savings bank which he drew
out and hired nurses to stay with
her. When he had used all his
money he came to this friend of
his and borrowed some. When the
liorrowed money was all gone and
being still unable to .get his wife
into the State hospital the man
became distraught and shot him
self.
As I heard the story I thought
how much different it might have
turned out it there had been a
mental hygiene clinic in that
town. The psychiatrist might have
given the man advice on how best
to take care of his -wife until
such a time as she could have
been admitted to the ho.snital.
More than that he could perhaps
have steadied the man by sympa
thetic understanding and have
given him help to keep from tak
ing such a desperate way out.
But one thing that struck me
about the story this business man
told me was a remark he made at
the close. He said—"But shooting
himself did not solve the prob
lem.’’
How true that is! Running a-
way from a problem or turning
our backs on it does not solve it.
Pump Is ‘Heart’ Of
Farm Water System
Select the right kind of pump
and be sure the water supply is
pure, then you have solved the
most Important pro-blems In in
stalling a farm water system,
declares Howard M. Ellis, agricul
tural engineer of the State Col
lege Extension Service. “T h e
pump is the heart of the system,
but of course it needs pure wat
er to serve the farm family safe
ly,’’ he said.
One of the simplest pumps Is
the hydraulic ram. This is a de
vice for pumping water by means
ot water power. The conditions
necessary for operating a ram
are: A supply of water with a
fall of at least two feet to the
location of the ram, and sufficient
fall below the ram to drain away
the water used in its operation.
A shallow well pump may he
used satisfactorily where ground
water can be reached within 22
feet of the surface. For lifts be
tween 22 and 100 feet, jet type
pumps are Incoming very ipopu-
lar. Deep well pumps set directly
over the well may be used for
lifts of more than 22 feet.
Continuing, Ellis said that an
elevated takn should be a part ot
by points in the house and barns
under pressure. If the shallow
well hand pump is used, it should
be set over the kitchen sink,
since this is the point where the
■nost water will be needed. An
overhead tank may be installed
with a hand-operated shallow
well pump, and from this tank
water can he piped to other parts
of the farmstead.
ElUs recommends the gravity
system in the mountains and cer
tain parts of the Piedmont, where
Question: When will Farm and
Home Week be held at State Col
lege this year?
Answer: The 37th annual Farm
and Home Week will be held on
the State College campus July
29-August 2. Officials have
planned to make this year’s con
vention one of the most enjoyable
ever held. Recreation, entertain
ment, and education will go hand
in hand In a well-balanced pro
gram. For complete details on
this event, write to Dan Paul,
Secretary, Farm and Home Week,
State College, Raleigh.
Question; What are the re
quirements of a good egg storage
cellar?
Answer: An ideal egg storage
cellar has a dirt floor so that
more moisture is present. Like
wise, there should be a ventilat
ing window on one side near the
top. Slatted platforms should be
built on the ground so as to keep
the eggs several inches off the
floor. Market eggs at least twice
weekly during hot weather.
