We look back over that long vista to the days when we, too, were leav ing school. Have we lived well fought well, been the sort of person we should have been? We fear not. But those years, which brought a tinge of gray to our head, and a slowing down of our physical pow ers, have been worth-while years. They have broadened our vision, and softened our critical nature and made us more willing to let others go their way without too sharp cyn icism. • • • L VnLLL I rhe <ia,e o; luc community gath- ering that has been planned for the At a meeting of the publicity com culmination of the Home Beautify- mittee of the Jackson County Chani- ing Contest has been changed from ber of Commerce held Monday eve- jSaturday .lune 15th to Monday.

The day was started off with games and races of all sorts and prizes were awarded to the winners. Some of the boys had their portable five meter sets along and had lots of fun talking to one another from dif ferent hill tops. By noon evryone was ready for the picnic lunch that each family helped bring and It was spread out on a long table. If you saw some thing at the other end of the table you were welcomed to run down there and help yourself. Music was furnished by a phonograph and a large P. A. system.

Some of the boys carried a five meter rig along and had lots of fun trying to talk to the rest at camp.

For the evenings entertainment a liars contest won by W7BKC wip held and other contests, such as CQ calling and the best slogan for each call letters, also awarding of the “ door prizes.” Td end the perfect day a few songs wbre sang while silting around the campfire.
