MTIIIS New Camp at Oceanside has All Needed Qualities; Fine Time had By DWIGHT ADAMS " Boys Secretary " The new permanent boys camp -was held for the first time this last summer. It is admirably lo cated two miles north of Ocean aide fronting on one-half mile of and beach which is ideal for surf bathing. A -r well constructed bridge 122 feet long spanning a canyon which is 60 feet from the creek to the top of the bridge was' bnilt, as well as a large cook bouse, also abont two acres of land was cleared of trees and un derbrush. The lumber for the cook liouse was given by the Sa lem Rotary club. The. Salem y ' boys camp counts among its most : prized possessions .the confidence and good will of a host of pare jnts the whose boys have attended summer camp. : The vacation problem is a ser- Ions one for parents. Unless some f careful plans are made the time j may be one of idleness, undoing i and danger. Most parents realize bow strongly the outdoor life ap- peals to the boys. Every normal i boy likes to camp.' There Is a i spirit of adventure inherent in ' evry boy which makes him long i for the out-of-doors, the warmth , of the sunshine, the smell of the woods. The Joy which comes from I doing things for himself. To lire i In the woods, to fish, to swim, to I play with his fellows is the- na j tural heritage of every boy. I An abundance of well prepared I wholesome food is provided and prepared by an expert cook who ! la an authority on nutrition and child feeding. ! ! The camp directors, all college xnen. are ever alert to prevent . the entrance of infections into rthe camp, and also provide that i the child has all the sleep neces j aary for the building of health i and resistance. i The activities of the summer ; camp form a well balanced pro i gram of competitive athletics.

Pbe student-Young Men's Chris tian association of 'Willamette university holds a union position in the life of the campus, since It has a definite religious, as well as social basis for its program. 1 The chief objective? of the asso clatlon is to aid men students In making vital adjustments to life, not only to Ufa on the campus. but also to life in general. The "Y" holds that the religion of Je sus is practical and necessary in this age of maladjustment; and strives to so interpret Jesus that religion shall not merely be one phase of life, but shall be a pow erful force permeating all of life. Some of the most important of these activities are: ' - '.:- . 1. Regular dlseusston meetings open to men students. 2. Upkeep of the !Y" hut which is available to all campus organ isations. 3.
