‘ Sey Big Field Day August 15— Camp Closes for ,Season at End of Next Week— Various Items of IntereSt From Keémosahbee. Hully Gee, fellas, pie! Thick, shiv- ery slices of good old fashioned pump- kin custard. Yah, and big juick pleces of home made berry pie. Ain't Pop « Helsler some cook? Yah, we'll tell the big wide world he is,” The fore- going conversation might be heard almost any day at Camp Keemosah- bee, at Job's Pond, Portland, where the New Britain Boy Scouts camp rapidly is drawing to a close. At the foot of a long grassy slope, | so steep that it is impossible to walk down and is navigated only by slid- ing, lles the camp. Situated on the banks of a beautiful pond, surrounded on all sides by steep hills, it presents | a panorama of scenic beauty whlch: well rewards the visitor for the drive over the rough and rocky road to en- ter. Standing in the camp and facing the rond one can see for miles upon the sides of the mountains and over the cistant hills. Here a railway train, looking like a top, creeps. along the bank now and then obscured by dense foliage. The' Diving Tower Away to the right stands a high tower, resembling a mixture of 1adio tower, a western oil well scene and a miniature edition of the Eifel tower, which rises probably 25 or 30 feet out of the water. This is a div- ing tower from which only the most expert swimmers dive, Still farther to the right and up the hill is a shady grove of evergreen trees is a small picnic grounds, to which come frequently visitors from |to their own camp. spirits rose the barometer fell also some rain and many, many huge hard, hailstones’ (local papers please copy). As they fell in the lake they. threw up geysers llke a young machine gun barrage. Sald fair maidens not being used to such rough treatment from the God of rain (friend Pluvius) flew to our arms and bathrobes in the mess tent where stimulants in the form of hot coffea jam and crackers were administered in true scout style. One Christ being an ingenious cuss procegd to nonchalantly gather ha.ll-| stone in digh much as one would pluck strawberries and furnished the camp with its first iced tea.” It 1s/rumored also that one of the mermaids promised the camp a nice home-made cake, which the Duffle Bag intimates dicapepared through the machinations of Vibberts. The eamp is one of the best Boy Scout camps in the country, according to Robert Hale, of Boston, a member of the national council camp commit. tee who stopped off one day on a tour of inspection of all Boy Scout camps: On the Long Trail, Last week Vibberts and 11 other boys went on an 86 mile hike, start- ing out Monday morning and arriving back in camp Friday afternoon. They hiked to Niantic where they were present on “Governor's Day,"” as guests | of National Guard Co. 1, of New Brit- ain, Wednesday they had dinner with the soldier boys and Thursday morn- ing left the camp and stafted back They returned by way of Saybrook Point and East Haddam and Moodus. Tach boy carried his 6wn pack, in- cluding an extra pair of shoes, and on the return trip they were required to forage for thelr own food, Mr. Vib- berts having been supplied with the necessary wherewithall to pay for whatever they received, however, Camp will wind up for the 1923 season August 18, unless ‘there is a great demand for the continuation an- other week.

The maker of anything, if he is to win the plaudits of the world, must not only manufacture a superior product, but must also let folks know of his achievements. He must point out just why his mouse-trap, his automobile or his shaving cream is bet- ter than his neighbor’s. He must advertise. Advertistng is the point of contact between the man who makes something and the man who wants something.
