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.

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.
