on the banks of 400-acre Panhand-
le lake, an attractive youth camp
has been created through the ef-
forts of youngsters, grangers, civ-
ic and business leaders.
LATEST PIECE of equipment
brought to the camp grounds is a
jeep - motor - powered generator
capable of producing 10.000 watts
of electricity. This generator,
hauled in front Pullmm. Wash.,
last week, will be wired to serve
the camp's buildings with lights

completed sufficiently by I)ecem-
bet of 1948 that Mr. and Mrs.

uring 20 by 26 feet, has three bed-

with shower and tub.
Another project of which the]
4-H youngsters 'ire proud is a I
camping area which they clea]'e(tl
from the woods a short distan(.e
from tile recreation hall. Com-
pletely surrounded i)y firs, salal
and loose brush, it is a clean-
smelling garden suited for sturdy
tents.
In the center of the cluster of
buildings is a water tank balanced
31 feet above the ground secured
on the top ,of a four-legged tow-
er. The tank insures a constant
flow of water in the kitchen's

NEAR TilE SHORE of the lake
the 4-H groups are carving from
the brush an outdoor amp,thea-
ter. Benches will be placed
around a semi-circle of sheltering
trees, and in the center will be an
outdoor barbecue pit.
Most expensive piece of con-
struction, a new dining hall, will
begin growing in mid-April when
groups of youngsters and adults
resume work that was suspended
during the colder days in Winter.
Ah'eady staked out, the building
will measure 32 by 68 feet. The
lumber, donated last year by
SimpsOn Logging Company, is
neatly stacked on the softball field
ready for the carpenters' hands.
TIlE 4-It CLUBS of both coun-
ties have been shouldering separ-
ate camp projects during Winter.
Some have been contributing to
money-raising drives, some are
constructing signs, benches and
tables, and all are dreaming of
Summer's joys offered in the
camp that they own.
Just 12 miles from Shelton

THE FORIIM
Deal" Eritor:
In behalf of the Mason County
Ministerial Association," I wish to
express our sincere thanks to the
advertisers of the Mason County
Journal for their splendid cooper-
ation in getting the "Go to Church
Sunday" campaign off to a good
start. The business firms "and in-
dividuals in the county are to be
commended for their willingness
to promote a non-sectarian plan
for the engaging of the people in
Shelton and the surrounding areas
of our county in church worship
somewhere each Sunday.
The ministers are equally ap-
nreeiative of all that the Journal
has done to promote this neces-
sary factor in our home and com-
munity life. It is good to see the
newspaper, advertisers and
churehes working together for the
enrichment of the spiritual life of
all individuals throughout this
area. We believe God is pleased
with such cooperation, and will
honor our combined efforts in this
direction. We further believe that
"Oo to Church Sunday" will be-
come a reality for hundreds of
our citizens who have been ne-
glecting this all important social
and spiritual obligation.
Sincerely yours,
Paul Sweeney, Pator

office route."
