CAMP THUNDER
PREPARES FOR
SUMMER OUTINGS
Camp Thunder, the 1660 acre
reservation owned by the Flint River
Council, Boy Scouts of America, is
being made ready for this summer’s
camping season. New swim walks
and platform are being put in the
lake. Two new boats have been
ordered. A wilderness camp site is
being developed for advanced troops.
And the water system is being made
ready to supply 3000 gallons of
chlorinated spring water every day,
flowing through pipes to every troop
camp site.
J. M. Molder, Scout Executive of
this Council, recently spent several
days at the camp and reports that
the dogwood, wild azalea, honeysuc
kle and many other wild flowers are
in full bloom. Now is a good time
for troops to spend a weekend at
camp. And on the lake bullfrogs
are honking, awaiting the day when
they will be just froglegs in some
Scout’s frying pan.
Camp Thunder opens for the sum
mer season July sth. Every troop
should plan to spend a week at camp.
Each troop will have its own cabins
or tents, dining tent, tables and
benches, kitchen range and tent.
Each troop comes as a unit, under its
own adult leader.
A valuable part of the camp
program will be emergency serving
training, in which Scouts will pre
pare for service in any emergency.
Expert swimmers will have oppor
tunity to train for and pass the life
saving merit badge. Those w r ho can
not swim will be given special train
ing classes in swimming.

round out the double-bill in a de
lightful comedy farce, “Marry the
Boss’s Daughter ”
Monday and Tuesday finds Wal
lace Beery in one of the more timely
pictures of the year, “The Bugle
Sounds.” It is a story of the loyal
courage and heroism of both regu
lars and selectees in the Army ser
vice and it reveals the insidious ef
forts of saboteurs to block Ameri
can defense preparations. The ac
tual camp scenes are the first and
most spectacular to be filmed in the
American emergency, giving a sweep
ing insight into the lives and char
acters of millions of youths and men
now in uniform. Marjorie Main,
Lewis Stone and George Bancroft
round out the excellent supporting
cast.
Priscilla Lane and Jeffrey Lynn
are starred Wednesday in a smooth
comedy hit, “Million Dollar Baby.”
The story allows plenty of room for
both comedy and romance and even
a song or two. The supporting cast
features the ever-lovable Ronald
Reagan and that grand old trouper,
May Robson.
Thursday and Friday, blonde, lis
som Betty Grable is made love to by
handsome Victor Mature in “Song
of the Islands.” With the rotund
Jack Oakie handling the comedy, the
film moves to a small outpost of the
Pacific where Miss Grable enters the
picture. Victor Mature is sent to
the island by his father to take care
of a cattle ranch and the fun and
romancing begins. In addition to
Grable, Mature and Oakie, the film
boasts such stars as Thomas Mit
chell and funny-man Billy Gilbert.

Col. Key’s Auto
Wrecked In Wild
Leap Into River
PROMINENT MONTICELLO AT
TORNEY HAD NARROW ES
CAPE EARLY SATURDAY AT
OCMULGEE RIVER BRIDGE
Col. W. H. Key, prominent Mon
ticello attorney and member of the
general assembly from Jasper coun
ty, had a narrow escape from death
early Saturday when his automobile
missed the Ocmulgee river bridge
and hurtled into the muddy waters
of the river.
I Col. Key was thrown clear of the
car and landed in shallow water. He
was able to walk on route 16 in the
direction of Monticello and obtain
help.
The car was described as a com
plete wreck.
The accident occurred about 7
o’clock Saturday morning. Col. Key
was said to be coming to Jackson,
and when nearing the river bridge
decided he would drive by his farm,
located on the Jasper county side of
Jackson Lake. Evidently misled by
the rate of speed at which he was
traveling, the driver waited too late
to turn into the road leading up the
river, and before there was any clear
conception of what happened the
car had plunged off the steep em
bankment and landed in deep water.
B. F. Mitchell, in charge of high
way maintenance in Butts county,
was among the early arrivals at the
scene of the accident and rendered
whatever assistance possible.
