A Centennial Year Historical Feature-
dials With Your
Home Agent
I've taken a bath, washed my
hair, cleaned the dirt from under
my fingernails. Now I feel like
I can face life once more:
You see, I've been up at 4-H
camp last week at Cutsforth
Park along with 60 youngsters,
10 counselors, two cooks, and
four other staff members.
This "Back-to-Nature" stint
was really enjoyable, but after
five days of doing without the
"human refinements a person
begins to foel rather Itchy and
messy!
The weatherman surely smiled
on our camping season this year.
We had five very beautiful days
and no cold nights!
Camp got off to a smooth start
this year, mainly because the ten
counselors, county agent, N C
Anderson, and myself went up
a day early to set up the last
physical details and to go over
the camp program. (Tents had
been set up and the kitchen
scrubbed by 4-H leaders and par
ents the Sunday before.)

The
well that
f made
; a wish
come true
In the 1890's a wish
come true at the little
town of Tumwater, near
Olympia, Washington.
Here, flowing cool and
clear from deep artesian
wells, water of an
extraordinary character
was discovered. This
was water equal to those
used in brewing the
famous beers of Bavaria
. . . water which, in the
years ahead, was to be
responsible for the
popularity of light
Olympia Beer. It
remains as true in tills
century as the last:
the more perfect the
brewing water, the more
perfect the brewing
result. Olympiad
famous water is
naturally perfect for
brewing just as it flows
from the earth . . .
creating a beer of
refreshingly different
good taste.

After the counselors had re
ceived their tent assignments
they went to work eagerly dec
orating the outside of their
camp home and making up
name tags for their anticipated
tent family. Campers were di
vided Into four Indian tribes;
Umatilla, Walla Walla, Nez
Pierce, and Wy am's, for camp
classes, sports and stunts.
When the trucks, driven by
Marcel Jones and Harold Wright
drove into the camp grounds
with its precious load of shout
ing youngsters, the counselors
were on hand to greet them and
to show them their tent home
for the next five days.
After their charges were duly
settled, the first camp "Pow-
Wow" was called to help the
4-H campers to get acquainted
and to tell them of the camp
program. The counselors plan
ned a treasure hunt for each
tent, after the pow-wow, in order
that the 9-13 year-olds would
get an Idea of the boundaries
of the camp. The treasur hunt
ended In the kitchen with a
sack of oranges for each group.
The camp housekeeping, under
the direction of Carole Ann An
derson, Heppner; and Garry
Schaad, Irrlgon; was outstand
ing this year. A "Scalp-Pole" (A
broom handle with a 4-H clover
and yarn streamers) was award
ed to the best-kept tent after
each mornirfg and evening tent
inspection. I have never seen
such energetic house k e ej 1 n g
under such discouraging condit
ions. You'd see the youngsters
even sweeping In front of their
tents. Flowers and welcoming
signs were also added to Im
press the staff Judges. The boys
had quite a time doing the cali
ber of housekeeping the girls
were doing so the committee de
cided to have a separate award
for the boys. "Old Man Moss"
(a block of wood with facial
features and a green yarn beard)
was given to the boy's tent with
the best housekeeping habits.
Sneak inspections were pulled
off every once in awhile to keep
the tents up-to-snuff!
Friday and Saturday were
spent in camp classes which

LEHMAN SPRINGS WAY BACK WHEN This piclure is probably one of the oldest known photos
of Lehman Springs and its famous swimming hole. The old lodge was then located approxi
mately where the later hotel building was (which burned down last year). A little careful exam
ination will reveal kids of all ages either swimming or hidden in the surroundings. Mothers
and Fathers sunned themselves, in front of the sheets hanging on the line to dry, while they
kept an eye on their offspring. This picture belongs to Mrs Ray Barnett but the date is a com
plete mystery.
Rock -hounds, very ably led by
Mrs C M Wagner, Heppner.
(Every child went home with a
display of rocks and an awaken
ing knowledge of -their beauty
and how they were formed.)
Leather craft was patiently
taught to the youngsters by Mrs
Larry Schaad, Irrlgon. (A small
coin purse was laced by each
4-II camper and their initials
tooled on the flap). This will
be a nice remembrance of their
'59 camp.
Camp safety was discussed
with each tribe by Mrs Velma
Glass, county health nurse.
(They reviewed the hazards of
the camp and viewed a film en
titled "Decide to Be Safe".)
Good camping was lead by
N C Anderson, county extension
agent. He took each tribe into
the woods and showed them how
to select wood for a fire, the use
of pitch and moss as ignitors,
and the different types of camp
fires (log cabin, teeppee, eac.)
This lesson was put to good prac
tice on Saturday night when
each tent prepared their own
"Hunter's Gulllon" over their
own fire.
Bird lore was taught by me.
We had a film on "Five Color
ful Birds found In Oregon" and
a bird quiz that identified birds
as (1) the architect, (2) the this
tle bird, (3) the bird of happiness
etc.
On Saturday, N C Anderson

where they Identified trees,
shrubs, flowers etc. in their for-1 ss

By the time each camper had , ss
visited all of these classes I'm s
sure he had a better appreciation j
of nature and camping.
Ceremonials were a part of
the camp program. The American
and 4-H flag were raised and
lowered each morning and even
ing on a newly erected flag pole
at the camp. Evenings were I
