That's why it's aways so rich and creamy ... so full-flavored and satisfying.

Recently also, one day was set aside as Play Day, when the girls of the four "tribes" competed with each other ihatMeUcfU? TheNa coochees took top honors in this part of the program, with the Tus colas and Cherokees finishing in that order. During the evening, the coun sellors from the trained, carefully selected stalT of 45 women and five men, tormed two teams lor a son ball game. The "Skunks'' defeated the "Snakes" in that contest. Religious life fills an important position in the overall program. Vespers are held every Sunday night, conducted by visiting min isters, Admiral W. N. Thomas of Lake Junaluska, retired chief of Navy chaplains, conducted the de votional one evening, and Metho dist Bishop Hiram Boaz of Dallas, Texas, a regular summer visitor to Lake Junaluska. officiated at the services on another occasion. Special ceremonies observed In dependence Day this month at the camp. ' . On that occasion, a flag with a deep historical significance was raised. It. was the banner used by the American Army of Occupation at Coblenz, Germany, after the Ar mistice of World War I. This flag draped the altar of the Kaiser's private palace. It was given to the camp by thi late Col. K. P. Easterbrook, who had served as chief of the Army's corps of chaplains. It wa- used in the services at he burial of the Unknown Soldier of World War I in Paris. Before it, Col. Easterbrook's daughter, Gladys, was married to young lieutenant named Joseph Lawtnn Collins who is now a full general and U. S. Army chief of staff. Their daughters, incidentally attended Camp Junaluska. and General and Mrs. Collins spenf much of their time there, up unli the out-break of the war with Japan. "Both love the mountains," Miss McCoy points out. To support its comprehensive program the camp is fully equipped. For their swimming, boating, and canoeing, the girls have the camp's own privr.te lake, built by Miss McCoy herself, with its swimming docks, diving boards and boat house. There is a riding stable housing 16 fine horses, a separate riding field, and the bridle paths that lace the camp's forests. The riding director, incidentally. is Miss Margaret Perry, familiar to Haywood county people as as sistant girls' basketball coach and teacher at JVaynesville Township High School. Her assistant Is Miss Evelyn Dewey of New York. ! To take care of the campers' health is a well-equipped infirmary, ; in charge of two registered nurses. A modern kitchen prepares uie wholesome diet for the girls' healthy appetites. The entire camp enjoys a Grade A health rating, the highest that can be attained. There are two fully equipped craft shops where the girls learn metal and leather crafts, weaving, and other handicraft arts, and a nature laboratory. Miss Virginia MacKay of West Palm Beach, Fla., teaches the girls ballet and tap dancing. .Among the spoils, the girls can improve their marksmanship with j the bow and arrow on the archery range, or with the rifle on the rifle range, or play badminton or tennis on the regulation courts on the campus. Besides the separate junior camp (for the girls from tight to U years of age), and the camp for inter mediates and seniors (ages 12 to 15t, Camp Junaluska also has the Travel Club. This is for the 17 and 13-year-olds and it means a tour of Europe. On the first of this; month, 18 girls accompanied by Mrs, W. V Anderson of Tampa, Fla.. the cha(v eron, sailed for Europe on the Queen Elizabeth, and will be abroad until mid-August. Miss McCoy said she had a letter telling of an unscheduled thrill the girls' experienced on the trip over. Film Star Tyrone Power attended the girls' tea. and had his picture made with them. They'll visit Paris, spend a week in Switzerland, visit the Italian lakes, and famed Passion Play at Oberammergau, Austria, Munich, Berchtesgaden, Baden Baden, the P.laek Forest, Holland, Belgium, and England. They were due for a warm re ception at Oberammergau, inci dentally .planning to welcome them were Miss Annie Rutz. the girl who played the part of the Virgin Mary in last year's Passion Play, and her sister, Mia, both of whom attended Camp Junaluska just prior lo World War 11. Miss McCoy is scheduled to make the same tour later this summer with a group of adults, sailing Aug- use 31 aboard the Queen Mary and returning in mid-October. Miss McCoy established the camp in 1912, and had it moved to its present location in 1016. A native of Jacksonville, Fla., Miss McCoy served as head of the history department of Virginia In termoiit College at Bristol, with which she was associated for 30 Close Of Fast Match At Camp Junaluska Camp Junaluska girls offer each other congratulations at the end of a match on the camp's courts.
