folks s from the Basin for their sincere support The curative possibilities of such an atmosphere were aptly demonstrated on that memorable evening It was while trailing around around around ar ar- ar- ar the floor loor at the zenith of the revelry that I stumbled over a crutch A few moments later l I bumped into a young oung man with ith whom I had earlier in the evening been sympathizing due to the fact that his locomotion was entrusted entrusted entrusted en en- trusted to and entirely reliant upon upon upon up up- on a set of crutches However a combination of circumstances In Informed Informed informed in- in formed this young man that crutches crutches crutches ches are no doubt useful for walkIng walking walking walk- walk Ing but certainly of no avail at atthe atthe atthe the shrine of Terpsichore We Ve just wonder if it was a crutch this writer fell over As we were on the side-lines side we gathered the impression that he fell In spite of the crutch being several feet away Why pass the buck The i Medico of our camp cannot be blamed for all the accidents that occur I Going Eastering on Easter Sunday Sunday Sunday Sun Sun- day Is so completely old fashioned that it

Roving Reporter Informs us that he has a hot tip Up that one of our most trusted staff corr correspondents correspondents corre corre- has fallen into the clutches of Mammon We are told that Mr Ward

Evans with the help of Superintendent Superintendent Superintendent Sup Sup- Warthen and our hired hired hired hir hir- ed reporter are planning to blast the Editorial Staff of this publication publication publication cation into oblivion via the pen and ink route We are indeed sorry that this said reporter has at last fallen for the lure of the filthy lucre This reporter report r has been constant constantin in rounding up and chasing down news that has entertained members members members mem mem- bers of the camp and now for him to stoop to the taking of hire for such submissions gives us much pain indeed We Ve can safely say that this reporter is a sophisticated ed rhetorician who is inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity and gifted with an imagination that can CM at all times command an interminable interminable interminable inter inter- and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent opponent opponent ent and glorify himself himsel And if this man stoops to sordid practices the editorial heavens will cry for shame at this falling star c C c Personals Capt John Cannon of the Bridgeland CCO visited at Moon Lake camp last week He was
