AT LAKE 0' WOODS
OPEN WEDNESDAY
Capacity Attendance Slated
for 14th Consecutive Year
Staff Goes First.
For the fourteenth consecu
tive year. Camp McLoughlin,
ummer camp - of the Crater
Lake Area Boy Scout council
will open Wednesday when the
camp staff under direction of
Kenneth Wells Boy Scout exe
cutive goes into camp. The first
group of campers will arrive
on the following Sunday and
periods will change weekly
until August 2.
"We are opening with the
camp filled to capacity with
prospects for a fine attendance
of scouts from Jackson, Josep
hine, and Siskiyou counties dur
ing the entire season", said
Wells today.
Girls Also Use Camp
The camp at Lake o' Woods
on National Forest land is
owned by the local Boy Scout
organization but is also under
use by the Girl Scouts and the
Campfire Girls following the
Boy Scout camp. There are fif
teen permanent buildings and
eight tent frames on the camp
site allowing for accommodation
of 100 campers and leaders. The
buildings include dining hall,
hospital tool house, recreation
lodge, camp office, and sleeping
cabins.
Arrangement of . the camp
permits campers to be organ
ized Into patrols of eight and
ten boys under their own lead
ership. Each patrol has a cabin
or floored tent for its own use,
a group of four such patrols
making up a troop under leader
ship of the scoutmaster and at
lease two assistants. .
The camp is fully equipped
and the waterfront program is
excellent including two sail
boats, two twenty-five foot
canoes, and eight row boats.
The waterfront will be under
direction of men trained by the
American Red Cross.
Some Boys Aided
A sizeable percentage of all
the boys who attend the camp
come on the basis of fuller part
"campships". This means that
they are given some financial
help to enable them to attend
the camp. These campers who
were unable to finance their full
period in camp are merged in
the regular camp program and
no distinctions whatever are
made.
The camp staff for this year
will consist of Wells as camp
director; Miles Kelly, waterfront
director and camp doctor;
Henry Van Berger, Louis Pow
ell, Frank Fabiano, Eugene
Wellman, Jack Holmes, Bill
Patton Glen Kircher, and Dick
Alford. The kitchen staff will
consist of four persons.
Since establishment of the
camp over 2600 southern Ore
gon and Nortehern California
boys have enjoyed Scout camp
ing in this camp.
All aspects of the Boy Scout
program will be emphasized
this year but special emphasis
will be placed upon emergency
service training.
SPOKANE FACING
Spokane, July 7 (IP) Unless
rents in Spokane are "Immedi
ately stabilized in the Spokane
defense rental area" a rent ceil
ing will be placed In effect by
the OPA, Joseph E. Hurley.
Spokane OPA enforcement at
torney, said today.
The April 29 order designat
ing Spokane county as a defense
rental area did not establish a
ceiling but recommended that
rents be not advanced beyond
those of March 1, 1942, Hurley
explained.
"It is regrettable many (land
lords) have not followed these
suggestions," he added.
UNCANNY
Iberia. Mo., July 7 JP)
Henry Shackelford spread salt
for his cattle to eat, then was
puzzled to see them ignore it
while his hogs devoured it eag
ertly. There's been an error.
He'd used the family's entire
supply of canning sugar.
Denmark is less than half the
size of Maine.

Steve Wilson Hog
Brings $95.45 On
'Frisco Slock Mart
Beall Lane, July 7 (Spl.)
Steven Wilson didn't take a pic
ture of Piggy Wiggy Woo be
cause he considered him just an
ordinary pig, at least he had no
tags in his ear nor any blue rib
bons to his credit. However,
when he brought $93.45 for a
weight of 830 pounds on the
San Francisco market Wilson
concluded the animal really de
served a camera shot.
The full-grown porker attract
ed considerable attention at the
O. T. Wilson place, where his
size and weight were the sub
ject of much guessing. Returns
from the market showed how
far off the , guessers were with
the exception of Ted Simms,
who, whether he knows hogs
or not, has the honor of missing
the "critter's" weight by only
a few pounds.
Wilson grows hogs by for
mula from the Oregon State col
lege and believes now his pro
duct get at least part of the
necessary vitamlnes.
News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon ,
(Continued Pram Pag Om)
before Henderson raised the
price on canned citrus fruits.
Certain powerful administra
tion senators, including Pepper
of Florida and Connally of
Texas, steamed into Hender
son's division with protests and
got their way.
This time, however, the In
ner pressure was stronger and
longer.
Many vegetable and fruit
growers complained their prices
did not reflect parity to grow
ers, although the price control
law requires this. They went
to both Henderson and Agricul
ture Secretary Wickard.
Even the American Farm Bu
reau federation demanded Wick
ard exert his veto power. When
he hesitated, he was threatened
with a campaign of opposition
in congress.
So finally the farm bureau
wrote a leter to Henderson
demanding that the prices be
raised. Henderson sought a way
out. He tried to get congress
to pass a subsidy bill, providing
a bonus to the growers. Con
gress refused. His appropriation
bill was coming up for consid
eration. He relented.
I AN DING of those German
- saboteurs from subs along
our shores has not caused grave
apprehensions here. Probably
more were landed than have
been caught, but Britain has
been finding rubber boats along
her shores constantly during the
war, yet has held sabotage to
a minimum.
The proof that the situation
is well in hand is that little
sabotage , has been apparent;
only major incident in this coun
try since the war started the
Normandie.
WHILE the tax bill does not
" please anyone. It is not go
ing to be changed much before
it is enacted about October 1.
Not many congressmen are
really dismayed that the bill
fell S2.600.000.000 short of rais
ing Treasury Secretary Morgen
thau's goal of $8,600,000,000, at
least not sufficiently dismayed
to enact a sales tax against
treasury opposition. They told
Morgenthau they would add the
sales tax, and hence the rev
enue, if he would give the word,
but he refused.
The bill is called a $6,000,
000,000 measure, but that title
may give people the wrong im
pression. It will add $6,000,
000.000 in taxes to the $18,000,
000.000 you are already paying,
making $24,000,000,000 in all or
about 30 per cent of the national
income.
APPARENTLY some Informa

have received the following cor
rection on a recent column from
a Texas editor:
"I have just made a slight

"'A Texas factory said it was
going to shut down because it
had no storage space left.'
"I made it read:

pounds of unrefined sugar on
hand, has been closed down two
weeks and will not reopen until
July 6, if then. Its great ware

outlet for refined sugar the
management stated it had no

"We printed pictures of the
bulging warehouses.
"Meanwhile the berry crop of
this vicinity, largest of record,
ripened and died on the bushes
for lack of sugar. The canning
and preserving plant in the
neighboring county of Orange
did not open for business, be
cause of lack of sugar. Appli

made weeks ago, are Just get

Grants Pass Mayor
and Councilman in
Feud Over Salaries
Grants Pass, July 7 (Spl.)
Councilman Sam McConnell Fri
day denied Mayor W. E. Moore
had the right of power to place
any member of the fire depart
ment "on probation." and re
quested him "to refrain from
giving any orders to any em
ploye in my department, or to
subject them to any humiliation
or publicity in regards to their
thoughts."
McConnell is chairman of the
council's fire committee.
He made his request In reply
to a letter from the mayor an
nouncing formally that Moore
had placed Fire Chief Homer
Grable on probation "insofar as
I (the mayor) am concerned."
Moore's letter also had asserted
that Grable had "admitted he
was partly to blame" for Mc
Connell's Wednesday night cri
ticism of other council members
and city budget committee in
reducing a promised wage in
crease for city employes.
Meanwhile, Ben Graybill, who
turned in his badge of office
as police chief, issued a public
statement Friday giving his
own version of events leading
up to Thursday morning's city
hall upset, a version which
was not identical with Mayor
Moore's account given Thursday.
Graybill reported the mayor
had insistently asked why the
police chief did not turn in his
monthly departmental report to
the mayor personally, and was
not satisfied with the answer
that the mayor was absent from
his office, therefore two copies
of the report were delivered to
City Auditor C. R. Duer.
