CAMP BULL PRAIRIE
The camp is rapidly nearing com
pletion. The mess hall has already
been completed and all the tents
have been erected. The bath house
will be finished this week.
We have a very fine water sys
tem In the camp. From It flows
several hundred gallons a day, with
3000 gallons In reserve in the reser
voir. The water is cold and excell
ent.
The mess hall is a wooden struc
tare about 144 feet long. This long,
narrow building seats over 200 in
comfort, with the kitchen in the
end.
Several of the tents have been
baptized with such names as "The
International House, 'Thirds Nest,'
"Gee's Club" and "The New York
er." Each tent has a token on a
pole in front of it.
The bath house will contain sev
eral shower baths.
Recreations include baseball, box
ing, wrestling, reading and radio.
The recreation hall, a large 16 x 50
foot tent, with a porch in front,
will be filled with newspapers and
magazines. The baseball field has
already been used.
Until now the work of the camp
has consisted of building roads and
trails. In addition to this, tele
phone lines, lookout towers, stock
fences, agricultural work and cruis
ing projects have already been
started.
C. W. Davis, in charges of Are
fighting at the camp, has organized
a flrefighting unit In the near fu
ture he will being a series of lec
tures upon fire prevention, such as
instruction in methods and pro
cedure of fire line construction.
The meetings will be held at least
once a week.
A program in forestry education
and related subjects has been
launched by the forest service, N.
C. Hane, Jr., announced yesterday.
The topics to be studied include
woodsmanship, fire identification,
plant identification, forest service
organization, forest protection, ero
sion control and some other sub
jects In which the boys may be in
terested. For the time being two
classes a week will be held, with
Saturday and Sunday field trips.
The purpose of the educational
program is to give the boys a bet
ter understanding of forest work in
general. The work is voluntary on
the part of the boys, who will be
given the opportunity to designate
the type of study they are interest
ed in.
Work hours are from 8 to 12 in
the morning and from 1 to 4 in the
afternoon. Meals are ready at 6:15,
12 and 5:30.
The commanding officer, Capt
Hugh C. Parker, and Lieutenants
Zaccor and Garrecht will meet all
visitors who might wish to take an
inspection trip around the camp,
with a welcoming smile. Anyone
and everyone is invited.

clean up!

any or the local dances since July 4.
