The following poem, by a Jacksonville writer, won first prize in a
Canadian newspaper contest requiring a 10-line description of any
outdoor subject. 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.”

Willpen Pines Opened know my neighbors, and vice versa.
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.

He leaves one brother and one

• The two cases of exhibits sent to
Medford for display in connection
with a showing of “The Vanishing
Frontier” at the Fox Craterian
theater, aroused no small amount
of interest and speculation among
viewers of the collection and
crowds thronged displays from
early morning till late night. Joe
Wetterer and Dick Chappell had
charge of arranging the two cases.
