SCOUTS AWAIT CAMP OPENING New Limberlost Cam p, Near Kendallville, Scheduled To Open July 8 The eyes of all Boy Scouts In the entire Anthony Wayne Area are fixed upon the Limberlos* camp-on Sylvan hike, near Kendallville, and Its prospective opening July 8. Plans are now moving along rapidly, according to John L. Anguish, scout executive, who states that the camp will be opened on that date without fail. Everywhere the expression is heard that no one enjoys camping quite so much as does the Boy Scout. This is due in a large measure to the plan of camp organization. The general organization of a Boy Scout camp differs as widely from that of the general run of boy camps as do the gen-' eral objectives. The provision which 1 permits individual troop camping and yet insures the necessary supervision is perhaps the dominant characteristice of Boy Scout camps and a factor which makes scout camping such a constructive and beneficial force in the lives of the boys. The camp virtually has a dual organization, consisting of, first, the general camp organization and staff, and second, the individual troop organization and staff. The general camp organization supervises the camp as a whole and all activities, especially where export leadership is needed. This supervis | ion includes such activities as bus I iness administration, swimming and j water activities, instruction in nature lore, handicraft, life-saving, boating, canoeing and projects of a similar nature. The general organization is also responsible for seeing that all troops using the site carry out the scout program. The troop organization is responsible for the supervision and activities of the individual troop. This plan is the same as it is for the troop home program. The troops, however, are expected to cooperate in the general activities in the program of the camp. Under this type of organization, each troop conducts its own camp, yet has the expert advice and facilities of the general camp organization and staff. It has all the advantages of an individual troop camp, plus the expert leadership and instruction on technical subjects available through the general organization, while at the I same time each troop has the opportunity for fellowship with other troops of the area. The individual Boy Scout may attend the camp in the event that his troop is not encamped as a whole. ■ The rate, however, in this instance, will be $7.50 per week with all meals furnished. For troops attending and getting one meal themselves each day, the price is $5 a week per boy; two of their own meals, a day, $3 a week and all of their own meals each day. $1 per week. The Limberlost camp, unexcelled in tjje United States for the ideal pur poses of scout camping, contains approximately 120 acres of wooded land and nature garden unsurpassed. The beautiful body of water upon which Limberlost fronts; Big Island across the way with its 50 acres of naturally wooded area, all afford facilities-and background which will delight the heart and thrill the imagination of the boy. o COURT HOUSE Two Claims Filed Two claims, one for $1,310.50 and $2,930.30 respectively, were filed against the estate of John W.

Rudy, r ndi for damages venued here from Allen county, went on trial in the Adams circuit court before a jury and Judge Sutton this morning. A recess was taken after the jury had been empaneled and one witness placed on the stand, while an effort was made to reach a decision over some legal technicality. At 2 o’clock, it was not known whether the trial would be resumed this afternoon or continued until a later date. The plaintiff in the case is seeking judgment for $5,000 for personal injuries and damage to his automobile resulting gfrom an automobile accident on the Lincoln highway, four miles west of Van Wert, Ohio, January 9, 1928.

YOUTH, AGE 19, EXPLAINS HIS STAND IN FAVOR OF COMPANIONATE MATING

Camden. N. J. May 1:1 —(UP)— I have searched the Bible through and I can find nothing which says th 'e should be any soit'of special ceremony hen a man and a woman wish to lie married,” says 19-year-old John Gray, Jr. companionate marriage advocate and vice president of the Christian Endeavor Society of the First Presbyterian Church here. Young Gray achieved prominence a few weeks ago when his proposed discussion of companionate marriage was barred by the elders of his church Restrained from giving his views at the meeting, he was more than willing to express them in an interview. “The Bible seems to be much against divorce, but so far as I can learn not a thing is said which would lie incompatible with modern ‘companionate marriage’, ’’ Gray said. “No special form of marriage procedure is suggested. So far as legal marriage ceremony is concerned, I feel that that is a matter of the state and has nothing at all to do with the Bible or religion. The state merely invests ministers with the power to perform legal mar

riage ceremonies. “Our society is about evenly divid ed about whether we should discuss this subject or not. 1 feel the young people of today have a right to discuss freely the problems of today. It is all very well to discuss Rible topics but the wo: Id of today is changing so rapidly that there are many things which need clarification." ” — o The Nasal Way Nose hrenlhing warms and cleanses the air Inhnled. and It reaches the lungs in n perfect state.
