Application blanks for ad- mittance to the camp may be se cured by Scouts on application to the Scoutmaster of the respective troops, Camp Carey, the “Woodland Par- located at the mouth of the Big Boxelder Canon, is thirty: eight miles from the City of Casper. It is seven miles from the Yellow- stone Highway out of Glenrock, Wyoming. This beautiful camp site was donated to the Boy Scouts by the Carey family. Former Governor Robert D. Carey takes an active in- terest in scouting and is a member of the regional executive committee. The camp\consists of Ten Patrol Cabins, accommodating ‘eight boys each, together with a large lodge in which the mess ‘hall, kitchen, can- teen, camp bank, commissary and headquarters are located, Assistant Deputy Scout Commis: sioner, Dean Morgan, who is the present physical director of Casper public schools, has been engaged as Director of Camp activities. He has had a great deal of experiencé in scouting and is thoroughly compe- tent to direct the camp program. He will be assisted by officials of Cas- per Council. HE. J. Treglown, formerly scout master of Troop Seventeen, who so ably handled the Comissary for Camp R. T. Kemp in the Big Horn mountains in 1923 has been engaged as director of commissary. The dl- rector of commissary is responsible for the purchasing of supplies and for the mess. Mr. Treglown, thru the Midwest Refining company at Salt Creek has secured two exper- ienced cooks who will be in charge of the kitchen. A camp fee of $7.50 for the ten- day period, which will include every thing, will be charged, This Is fai cheaper than a boy can live at home. Seventy five cents a day, per boy, does not cover the total cost, The overhead is covered by an appropria- tion from the council budget, This is done in order that all Scouts in the City of Casper and surrounding territory, may be able to attend Camp Carey, Outside communities under the direction of Casper Coun cll are {nvited fo attend Camp Carey in will be charged at the same rate Scouts from the City of Caéper.

Through the kindness and generosity of the W: and Loan Association, savings ad- count books are used and a regular banking system {= In force. In order to give the best supervi- sion and conduct a thorough pro- gram, only eighty scouts will be permitted to attend during each per- fod. Parents and friends of the Scouts are invited to come to camp on Sun- day. They are respectfully request- ed, by the Camping Committee, not to visit camp on any week days. This rule must be strictly enforced, as it {s not possible for the camp. program to be operated with the greatest measure of success if the leaders and campers are busy en- tertaining visitors. Co-operation on the part of the parents and friends is requested in this respect in order that the most may be accomplished in the brief pertod of time. Visitors wishing to eat at the camp will be charged fifty cents per meal.

Bome time ago, the Casper Cham- ber of Gommerce offered its forum nieeting program to certain sections of the state in order that they might discuss problems of interest before eur people. The first organization to mecept the invitation is the Feder- ated club of the Big Horn Basin and they will send a speaker to address the forum meeting of Tuesday, May 19. The speaker chosen to represent the club is Reyn Leedom, publisher of the Lovell Chronicle of Lovell, Wyo., who will address our member- ship on the subject of “Acquainting Our Neighbors at Casper with the Big Horn Basin.” Mr Leedom’s stock in trade is ‘“‘co- operation.” He has been a resident of the Big Horn basin for fifteen years, has served their local com- mercial club twice in the capacity of secretary ‘and three times as presi- dent. He is now president of the Lovell Commercial club. Mr, Leedom was president of the Lovell Com- mercial club when the project of the Sheridan-Lovell highway was start- ed and had charge of the construc: tion work. He gave three days out of every week for nine months, with- out expense to the club, during the construction period and besides so- lcited, collected and disbursed $11,- 745 and succeeded in getting an equal amount of volunteer labor and team work donated in connection with the undertaking. Anyone who can do all of those things when he gives his time and energy to address the chamber of commerce forum, should be accorded a large attend- ance and it is the hope and wish of the forum committee that the members will take advantage of this opportunity to hear a Wyoming plo- neer who has been instrumental in the up-bullding of his state and com- munity, Mr. Leedom has been in the news- paper business in Nebraska and Wy- oming for thirty years. GONVENTION(S MAIN TOPIC OF BP. CLUB Saturday Gathering Is Turned Into “Pep” Meeting.

Laura Bailey commented upon the business to be transacted at the convention, the principal business will be the stand of the national federation upon the educational and legislative problems of the day. Wyoming will have a voice in the business matters this year because of the recently organized state fed- eration. A decision will be reached at this time as to whether the name of the national magazine will be changed or will be left “The Inde- pendent Woman.” Marguerite Patrick gave sidelights upon the amusements which will be an attractive feature, especially to the western girls, who no doubt never indulged {n an old New Eng land clam bake and other equally attractive features that are being arranged for the entertainment of he delegates, There are numerou points of interest which may be taken in—Longfellow's home, Kate Douglas Wiggins’ home, Concord and Lexington, Yale and Harvard, and Wellesley college. “What It Wouid Mean to Me to Be Delegate” was the subject upon which Helen Wallace talked She spoke of the honor attached to being selected a delegate, what it would mean to represent Wyoming and Casper at such a meeting of the representative business women of America. The club unantmously decided to send at least one delegate to Port: land. Ruth Dumars, chairman of the convention committee, presided at the luncheon.
