The camp fee for this year has been set at $9, including trans portation. "Camping this season has pre sented to Camp Fire Girls stall and executive board," said Mrs. B. C. Johnston, president, "a two-fold challenge; a challenge to give each girl an opportunity to develop the qualities and skills which will help to meet the men tal and physical demands of the present day; plus a challenge to the camp leadership to overcome the manifold problems involved in camping in wartime. The gov ernment has authorized the use of chartered buses to camp. The staff is prepared to provide a program of work and play which will contribute to the health, happiness, and character growth of every girl attending camp this summer." The rationing, of food will necessitate some changes in menus, but well-balanced, nutri tious meals will be served. The camp director will be assisted by a staff of counselors who are well-qualified to direct the var ied activities offered by the camp program. Among the activities planned are hand craft, nature lore, archery, swimming, camp craft, dramatics, folk dancing and music. A registered nurse will be in attendance at all times. FDR "Regrets" Lack of Crop Insurance Fund WASHINGTON, July 13 IP) President Roosevelt signed yes terday the $848,295,883 agricul ture department supply bill but said that he "regretted exceed ingly that congress failed to pro vide funds to continue the crop insurance program, In a statement to the press after making the appropriation bill law, the president said: . "I certainly hope that when congress returns from its recess, funds will be provided to con tinue this program which will mean so much to our farmers and at the same time enable agri culture to be placed on a more stable basis than ever before." ' Mr. Roosevelt commented that weather is the major hazard of agriculture and said: "Certainly in these times when the farmer is being urged to produce more and assume greater risks, "we should not stop a program which is of such tremendous potential value to them." Very probably there will be heavy fighting in the Mediter ranean and elsewhere before the leaves of autumn fall. Winston Churchill.

Railroad Yarn Writien by Local Locomotive Engineer Tommy O'Brien, locomotive jengineer for Grciit Northern I here, is the author of a true talc of the mils nearly eight pages long which appears in the Au gust issue of the Kailroad mag azine. The article entitled "Did I Tie Up the Road?" concerns a story which happened in 190S j oricn rciuics inai ne was given orders to run an engine to Glasgow, Mont., after having already worked for 31 hours without a rest. O'Brien was then just a young and inexper ienced engineer unfamiliar with the road. When his fireman walked out on him, the young engineer was assigned one "Juck" supposedly an exper ienced fireman, but who turned out to be an cx-shcephcrdcr and anything but help on the trip. After several hours delay for various reasons they finally got started and some time later were caught in a rain storm, but near their destination, or so O'Brien thought. Seeing a light ahead, e thought it must be a station and having been working steady ! for 43 hours without rest, dc- cided to pull in and get a few hours rest while Juck kept watch. No Station in Sight When he awoke O'Brien dis covered that he wasn't in a sta tion at all. The light he had No Blitz -Weinhard in the refrigerator? It has happened to you. It can happen to your dealer, unvarying quality, its -87-year tradition of excellence, makes it always worth waiting for. If you can't get Blitz-Weinhard at jour dealers today, seen must have been n watch man's lantern and what he thought to be a station hi the driving ruin, he rcnlizcd now with sinking heart, was a steam shovel. The engine was on a gravel pit spur, lost in strange territory and "the main line wus tied up with a meet with a stock extra at Frazcr." Juck was asleep. O'Brien goes on to tell how he finully got out of his pre dicament and back to Minot, where strangely enough he had to answer no embarrassing iiium tions, nor was he ever "called on the carpet" for tying up the railroad for seven hours, O'Brien is now pulling freight between Klamath Fulls unci Bieber, Culif., and hus worked for the Great Northern here for 12 years. Ho lives at 43S Pu clfic Terrace. The August issue of the Rail road maguzinc, In which the above story is printed, is alroudy out in the east and O'Brien hus for the past few days been get ting considerable fan mail from old time railroaders and others In that part of tho country.
