Dear Boss: For once we have peace and quiet. The door opens, then slams A weary Scout drags in and flops limply on his bed silence again. Nor is this the only quiet cabin here at Camp Pa-He-Tic. Most of the Scouts are resting, reading or writing letters in this mid- afternoon rest period. Normally there wouldn't be a boy in the bunch of 28 who wasn't making all the noise he possibly could.

But climbing the steep hill from the waterfront a few times after a vigorous swim changed all that. Yesterday afternoon the dust rose thick from the cars which were arriving to leave enthusiastic Scouts for a week's "vacation" here at the Lake of the Ozarks. After "Pop" Machin arrived, the routine matters of registering, assignment and a medical examination were soon taken care of. A line was forming at the waterfront, so we joined in to take part in the swimming tests. To qualify as swimmers Scouts must be able to swim 200 yards.

Twenty-five yards qualifies the Scout as a Beginner, and anything less than 'that makes a Mon-Swimmer classification. To every swimmer who swam from 10 to 100 yards, the distance seemed like 100 miles. Some passed, and some didn't, but was exhausted. A welcome rest period after a climb up the hill gave the Scouts a chance to rest a while and unpack their bags. Chow Call, over the Camp PA system, was indeed a welcome sound.

The food is served cafe- eria style, but we are afraid to comment further about the food. VENETIAN BLINDS PENNEY'S A LWAY FIRST QUALITY!

Don Bonnie and Raymond Marshall are happy about their one bullseye each from the rifle range, and are hoping for more tomorrow.

The Musketeers, Kenneth Goodnight, Wilber Harper and Harry Morley, were left holding the bag when they checked out one boat on the check board, and used another. Such things "just ain't done" in the "waterfront which we will explain in detail later. Donald Smith and Delbert Clark are flexing their muscles and trying to decide whether-to try for a rowing merit badge or not.
