The tents were pitched in the pines on the west side of & beautiful park. The spring, colder than ice, out in the meadow in front of the tents. The swimming hole, almost as cold, but not the same color, was at the lower end of the opening. And what a swimming hole that was. Tom Sawyers had nothing on that one. You opened your eyes in the morning as the bugle called "I cant get em up in the morning. The reflection of the sun on the frost and dew covered grass gave one that invigorated feeling that seemed to last all day. Thats the feeling you get at an altitude of around 10,000 feet. Wednesday, Forest Ranger Glen Lambert led 113 scouts and the scouters to the top of Mt. Lookout. From there, we could see in all directions for many miles. As we sat there on the top of the world eating lunch, Mr. Lambert told us all about the surrounding country. Points of interest were Wyoming territory, Flaming Gorge, Green River, county seat of Daggett county, the old Dyer mine, Elb Park and many others. Everyone enjoyed the days hike, got back to camp in time for colors. The camp fire programs during the week were very inspirational. Much new talent among the boys was uncovered. I hope the wards will discover it and make use of it. Many distinguished visitors from Vernal and Roosevelt visited our camp fire programs. Supt. Noble of Uintah is a success riding school children, but when it comes to "Strawberry Roan??? Roosevelt and Duchesne districts were well represented. Duchesne had eight wards with more than 40 scouts. Utahn, Duchesne, Mtn. Home, Mt. Emmons, Boneta, Altonah, Arcadia and Bluebell, we also had a wonderful troop from Salem and Spring Canyon. On our return trip, Saturday morning, we stopped to visit the Brush Creek famous cave in Canyon. That's a sight the boys will never forget. Some day that will be one of Utahs wonder spots. Thanks, parents, for the cooperation. Join with us next year on Petty mountain. We hope the forest department will fix the spring so a prmanent camp may be established there. East of Duchesne. The woa social case worker and three of her assistants were coming from Roosevelt to Duchesne to attend a canning demonstration given by Mrs. Ruby String-hastate canning director. miles men, The injured women are: Mrs. Harry Owens, case worker and driver of the car; Mrs. Mary Redman Burgess, Mrs. Olive Long, Mrs. Rella Fieldsted, all of Roosevelt. A few hours later word reached Duchesne that W. C. Baker, president of the Duchesne Commercial Club, and E. E. Odekirk, also of Duchesne, were Sn the Rich hospital at Vernal, as a result of an accident near Vernal. Mr. Odekirk had been in Duchesne and helped remove the women in the first accident from the doctors offices where they were treated, to hotel rooms. Attempted To Pass Truck The first accident occured when Mrs. Owens, who was driving a late model Chevrolet sedan with the other three women as passengers attempted to pass a truck driven by Joe Yack of Neola, also headed for Duchesne. The car was just opposite his truck, Mr. Yack said, when it apparently went out of control and left the grade, landing in a five foot wash. The car did not turn over, but apparently stopped with such impact that all four of the women were thrown to the top of the car, hitting their heads against the bows of the car and receiving severe scalp wounds. Mrs. Fioldatead suffered a compound fracture of the right lower jaw, a fractured forearm, and a bad cut on the throat in addition to the scalp wound. All were badly bruised and shaken up. The four were immediately brought to Duchesne by passing motorists, where they were treated by Drs. Leon H. Cline and David C. McDonald of Duchesne and Dr. Alton Saxer of the Bridge-lan- d CCC who was called in tor assistance. Dr. L. S. Saunders of Roosevelt later arrived in Duchesne to care for Mrs. Owens. Full extent of the injuries and their seriousness could not be determined by the doctors Thursday evening, though it is not expected that any of them will be fatal. Truck Driver Held Lyman Burdick, deputy sheriff of Duchesne county, immediately took charge of investigations, but has made no report on his findings. The truck driver was held in Duchesne for some time, as he did not have a drivers license with him. No other charges have been entered against him. Following first aid treatment at the doctors office, the women were removed, three to the Caldwell rooms, and one to the home of Mrs. E. W. Crocker. Mr. Ode-kirlater in the accident at Vernal, assisted in moving the women to Duchesne Thursday.
