In this case Prince Rupert bay, famed the world over for its glorious sunsets, its silver-smooth bay and hundreds of green isles flanked by a background of majestic mountain peaks, was used. If ycu have ever visited Canada's western coastline you will easily understand the award. Picture a calm and smiling bay that gleams Responsive to the sun's transmuting beams And mirrored in its limpid depths serene A host of fairy isles of shimmering green. Behold! They seem like jewels on the breast Of purpling mountains in the distant west. Glean colors bright from all the flowers that grow And blend them ’till they dim the rainbow’s glow; Then tint the cloud-shot skies with streamers gay And call the picture “Sunset on the Bay.” • Alex Enyart and Willie Morrison | of Independence arrived a short (line ago to visit Applegate rela tive«.

Officially Last Sunday Tw’enty-five girl scouts and their director. Miss Alice Loeffler, who arrived from Kansas City, Mo., Friday, officially opened the sum mer encampment at Willpen Pines on the Applegate Sunday. This year differs from all prev ious encampments in that the weather is so cold the customary plunge before breakfast is a real endurance test. Some ot the girls prefer staying away from the river at this time in the morning. Each of the three patrols are taking turns going on a breakfast hike. The schedule for the three week period includes handicraft, swim ming. dancing, archery, pioneering, newspaper and nature study. The swimming patrol, known as Am- phobians, is is charge of Miss Grace Winslow or “Crocodile.” Nature study, called Locust patrol, is sup ervised by Miss Naomi Hohman, known as "Katydid.” Miss Hohman also has charge of tfae camp news paper, a weekly feature. Sherwood patrol, which includes archery, is in charge of “Robinhood.” The girls say that dancing is the least popu lar of the activities offered. Fri day is guest day, when the girls may invite friends. Mrs. S. M. Par dee is their competent cook. The water used for drinking purposes is not taken from the river, but from springs which have been used in previous years. As an extra pre caution, however, chloride is being placed in the water. The distinctive name of Willpen Pines has a beautiful origin, being in memory of Mrs. Douglas Will son and Mrs. Leonard Carpenter, j Mrs. Willson is scout executive, and Mrs. Carpenter donated the lodge and grounds to the scouts several years ago. The pine trees surround ing the grounds are suggestive of the last part of the name. The cab in is an artistic structure made of | logs, with a stone chimney at one i end,- and an interior with a real colonial atmosphere. A monstrous fireplace, which is graced with a great hanging kettle inside, gives the cabin a homey appearance. FORMER OREGONIANS HERE FOR LONG STAY Jerome Smith, former Medford man now in aviation in the state of New York, accompanied by his wife and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Greenleaf of Santa Rosa, has returned to southern Oregon to remain for some time. Sunday the former Oregonians, including little Miss Sylvia Smith, daughter of the flyer, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Straube on Apple gate. Smith, who has been away from Medford for the last three years, has done stunt flying and at pres ent is advancing in the study of mechanics. He has met Colonel Lindbergh and talked with him. j Aviation being at a low ebb just at present, Mr. and Mrs. Smith are remaining on the Greenleaf ranch near Gold Hill, having come across country by automobile. Sylvia Syd ney, it seems, has maintained the dignity of her three months, and has never been flying yet. Mr. and Mrs. Greenleaf will remain on the ranch only until September 1, Mr. Greenleaf being called by his work in giving Shakespearean recitals in high schools. real estate and insurance office.
