The Pioneer Girl Scout group of Troop 52, Gates, took a 4-day hike along the Sky Line Trail in the Jef ferson primitive area. They left early July 28 and returned late July 31. The girls making the trip were Ellen and Roberta Chance, Juanita and Aloha Thomas, and the leader and assistant leader Mrs. Walter Thomas and Mrs. Ed Chance. Walter A. Thomas drove the hiking party to a point one mile from the Pamelia lake trail where the hikers put on their packs and gear and headed for the primitive area. An easy seven-mile hike put them at the lake by 10:30 a.m. Camp was made, lunch prepared then part of the group went fishing.

The second day’s hike was hardest, as the trail was about 16 miles be tween lakes. The trail out of Pamelia zig-zaged up the mountain for nearly five miles and had many snow banks still blocking the trail. The trail was wet with many streams from the melt ing snow. Grizzly ridge was the high est point on the trail. Lizard ridge the driest. The girls counted 19 dif ferent kinds of flowers in peak of bloom along the trail. It took from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.ra. to hike from Pamelia to Marion lake, with a 30-minute stop for lunch on the trail. Just as the troop arrived at Marion lake they met a Boy Scout hiking party leaving for Blue lake. Otis Chance, son of Mrs. Ed Chance was with the party; he had just re ceived his first class badge; and has been at Camp Pioneer all summer serving on the staff. The destination of the third day was Temple lake. The troop was on the trail by 7:15 a.m. and climbed the trail out of Marion lake, and care fully following the instructions of the Boy Scout leader, kept to the right 8 o o s o o o hand trail, but wound up in Camp Pioneer; having missed the Temple lake trail somewhere.

HOW CAN Voti CURE INSONNIA* Gates Girl Scouts Enjoy 4-day Hike W’atering the birds at that time was also a chore as all the water was carried to them by the bucket full, One evening about dusk, father Red fern, carrying a 5-gallon bucket in each hand, got his feet tangled in a wire and fell headlong, spilling all the water and drenching himself—a wet martyr to the turkey cause. Each year as more poults were pur chased, more brooder space was needed. Husband, Merwin, at last convinced that turkeys were a paying proposition converted a large barn to a brooder house by building in two extra floors and installing six turkey pens with brooders on each floor. The barn is heated with butane and water is piped to each floor to facilitate watering the birds. The former hay lift is now a feed lift with turkey feed elevated to each floor by tractor power. When the turkeys are six weeks old they are put out on the range. Each year, they are rotated to a different acreage of the property. This keeps the birds disease free and has fertil ized the land so much that crops grown the following year are rank and thrifty. Turkey-raising, says Clethal is two-fold; builds up the land and nets a profit on the birds. Care of 8,500 turkeys might be con- sidering a full time job by many peo- pie, but is just a side line to the Knox family. Mr. Knox is regularly em ployed five days a week as sawyer in a nearby sawmill. After five years of improving and building turkey equipment, enough self feeders have been built to last the birds a full week, and so eliminate daily feeding. Saturdays ’chore is to load the truck with turkey feed, fill all the feeders, and wash the water containers. Water is piped to the range and automatic float valves regulate the supply. The day of carrying the water in buckets is past. Knoxes' do not have a year round flock. They handle only meat birds, so that winters are free for vacation. The 400 chickens, kept in a separate brooder house, were purchased this year to teach daughter Sandy how to learn money. Two hundred of the chickens go to the youngster for rais ing them, and the other 200 is for family use.
