BOY SCOUTS' CAMP AGAININPORTLAND Job's Pond Site fo Be Used During Coming Summer Camp Kemosahbee at Job's Pond, Portland, will again be the site of the New Britain Boy Scout.council camp this summer. During the pl“t\ few weeks the camping committee of the council has scoured the state, covering about 2,000 miles and in- specting 50 camp sites in an effort to find a more suitable location at which a permanent camp may be | established, but it has been decided to wait another year before making & change. mittee time to inspect the most like- 1y sites in their real summer condi- tions, the ‘committee voted Tuesday night to continue for another sea- son at the Portland pond, the lease on which expires this year. A departure from the precedent of past years will be made this sum- mer in that boys under the scout | age of 12 years will be admitted to! camp only during the first two weck: ‘These non-scouts include Loys who | bave attended the camp in past sea- | sons and have developed the “Ke- mosahbee habit” and also the Cub Scouts. Regular scouts will also be admitted to camp during these first two wecks, and beginning with the | third week, only registered scouts will be allowed. It is believed by the | camping committee and by Scout Executive O. A. Erickson that this | plan will enable greater progress in scouting and will inferest more older boys than have attended in past years, In order to give the com- | Paul Baker as scoutmaster. n\-e‘Be . new scoutmasters and eight assist- t l Sp l t ants have been secured within the s lr e ers a past four months. There are now| . e 21 troops and 517 scouts registered in the New Britain council. President Alexander H. Scott made a verbal report of his visit to the national council in New Yérk city. Reports were also presented by Col. W. W. Bullen of the court of honor committee and Logan Page of the camping committee. The fi- nancial statement for the fiscal year ending April 1 was given, the rec- ords having been audited by the | Community corporation and found correct. The scouts ‘will participate in the | Memorial Day exercises, marching {in the parade and helping with the | decoration of the veterans' graves.

F COURSE, you don’t want to go 5000 con- tinuous miles at better than a-mile-a-min- ute. But this sensational performance proved by the most brutal test ever recorded, that anything any ordinary driver wants in speed and endur- ance, is child’s play to THE COMMANDER. Never before has any stock enclosed car in the world achieved such a maximum of miles in such a minimum of minutes. 33 Million Engine Explosions To the ear, only a sound like the wind whisking through a grove; to the eye, only a fast moving bulk with contour dulled by its terrificspeed . . But within the six cylinders of The Commander’ mighty engine—a fusillade of red hot explosions —over thirty-three million of them during the run! Connecting rods plunged upward and downward about eleven million times, wheels revolved over three million times.

Despite this ordeal, mechanical repairs were limited to three grease cups (damaged by hasty greasing) and a spark plug!— negligible when you consider that thisas- tounding performance is equivalent to 25,000 miles of ordinary going. Let Harry Hartz—America’s Champion Driver—tell you out of his own experience what a stock COMMANDER will do. Harry Hartz Says:’ “It will maintain any giv- en speed up to sixty-five miles per hour, longer, moresmoothly,and atless expense perhour traveled, for gasoline, oil and re- pairs, than any other stock automobile now being built in the United (States.” FiguresWhich ShowtheStrain of 5000 Miles in 4909 Minutes Total of 33,000,000 explosions in the engine!
