In Greek mythology, Anteaeus. v restling it 1 llemihv. renewed his strength and power when his feet touehed the soil. Nothing: more true of human life was ever written. iWe renew, refresh and restore ourselves by contact with nature and the earth. Vacation means the embrace country hrings the breath of youth and the freshness and optimism of early life. The land and nature contain the elixir of life, the power to rehabilitate, reanimate and re inspire the man, worn, weakened and depressed by the arti ficial. It requires magnificent forests, gushing mountain streams, glorious sunsets, singing birds and all of nature's many-sided life, to impart noble impulses to human exist ence. These all awaken higher aspirations and suggest the possibility of building human character upon the eternal truth; beauty and usefulness proclaim themselves through the external forms' in which nature has clothed herself. How strange it is that some of our people prefer the sum mer resort, in many instances, to camp life, with its free dom from care and worry that is needed- A camp pitched amoug the hills beside some singing brook, fragrant fir boughs for a couch, a few congenial spirits who eau forget shop and whose speech is rich with the flavor of the moun tains, and if this does not brighten up the lenses through which you view the world, yours is indeed a hopeless case. Yet how many permit the summer to pass away without a taste of the woods. From our very feet the mountains stretch away until their dim distant outlines disappear in a dim, blue veil, and we know that between here and those farthest peaks are a thousand secluded spots where all our work-a-day burdens can be laid aside and our minds and bodies renewed by a closer contact with nature. Southern Oregon, of all places, is most endowed with the restful, the beautiful and the inspiring. Crater Lake furnishes unexcelled scenic lifted to the skies carry a man, as on a ladder, above the clouds, where he inhales another air, and where majestic scenes fire the soul, warm the imagination and banish the commonplace. . .
