On Monday morning, July 17th, six
teen boys left Vidalia for Camp Ma
son, at Houston Factory. The bus
operated by Mr. Kemp carried ten of
the boys, while five went in the car
with Scoutmaster Downs. At Mcßae
a change was made, giving the five
boys on the bus an opportunity to
ride in the car to Eastman.
At 11:30 all were in Eastman, and
under the trees on main street the
lunch boxes wer opened and a dandy
lunch was enjoyed. Soon Mr. Wa
ters was ready to make the remainder
of the trip. Again a new group was
taken in to the car of Mr. Downs-
About 3:30 Camp Mason was reach
ed where about seventy-five other
scouts had already assembled. Mr.
Harris, one of the camp directors, met
us in a most cordial manner and at
once made every boy feel that he was
welcomed at the camp.
The First Two Days.
So many scoutmasters were late in
sending in registration cards and at the!
last minute more scouts than were an
ticipated came. Cots and tents were
short. The first night Dublin and Vi
dalia scouts s’ayed in cottages, but on
the second day every effort was made
to make every scout comfortable.
Twenty iron cots with mattresses
were secured from Lanier Hotel in
Macon and all the boys were provided
with comfortable sleeping quarters.
Not until then could the program be
gin with anv enthusiasm.
The Camp Fires.
Each day the program was brought
to a close at the ramp fire. Certain
tents were assigned to htdld fires and
others to furnish stunts. At eight
o’clock the fires were lighted and all
scouts assembled on the hillside down
near the dock. To get a good spirit j
the program began with singing and;
those ninety hoys could make a noise. I
The stunts followed- As the troons j
were voting, their ideas of stunts j
were vague, and conseouentlv were!
verv noor. Saturday night the Vida
lia boys nut on the stunt. Tt was a
nrogram of various stunts and was said
to be the best of its kind, this opinion
being expressed by a Maeon scoutmas
ter,
Mr. McConnell, scout executive, of
Macon. and enmn director, would close
the eamn fire program with a discus
sion of a scout law. The practical
application of each law was brought
home to the hovs and made lasting
impressions.
The Field Contests.
Alt the boys were interested in the
ball games, scout games and scout
I craft periods, but enthusiasm ran the
highest when field contests were held.
There were contests in the following:
50-vard dash, 100-yard dash, running
broad jump, knot tying relay, first aid
relay, tug of war, Dublin Troop No.
1 receiving highest score, with Vidalia r
second. Vidalia won two first places
—first aid relay and tug of war.
The Water Sports.
. <
The water sports were a source of j
much excitement. Vidalia won two |
first places —long swim, bv Franklin '
Rabun, and relay, by Henry
Wallace Dunham, Winslow Barker and !
Franklin Rabun. Dublin No. 1 had *
some verv good swimmers and fanev 1
divers. They were able to carry off j 1
a number of first places- Following]
were the contests : Short dash, long |
dash, relay, under water swim and 1
fancy diving. *
Inspection. 1
In order to keep the camp sanitary f
a rigid inspection is made every morn- ! 1
ing. The hoys worked hard to make '
a good record. After a thorough in
spection was made, the average of f
each tent was announced and criti- 1
cisms made. Tent J, kept by Ralph
Thompson, Tom Sawyer, Bennett De-
Loach, Jack Meadows, James Napier,
Emory Herring. J. C. Timmerman,
Prentiss Coursoti receives! the highest
average for the whole week.
And The Eats.
We cannot sav so much for the
eats. Evidently the director bud
never fed as many boys at one time
before. The food was fairly good, hut
often was not enough. The scout*:
began to complain in the right way
and more food was prepared. Next
year the boys are going to have good
food and plenty of it. if the scout
masters have to prepare it.
The Twelfth District Emblem.
An emblem was offered to every
scout who secured 250 points out of
n possible 300. To secure this emblem (
some hard work bad to be done. Out \ :
of the sixteen boys who went on the!
j camp, fourteen secured the emblem-j |
This was the highest percentage in < :
1 any troop. Two of our hn-s secured: i
the Camp Mason Emblem, which was i
quite an honor. Those receiving this] 1
emblem were Leroy Meadows and •
Winslow Barker.
Who’s Who At Csmp Mason.
Tt is a custom at Camp Mason to (
tai;e a vote on Sunday night and de-|
cide who is the best all-around scout,
■ biggest eater, parlor scout, ugliest, best
looking, laziest, best swimmer, most
loyal, cleanest, the biggest grouch, the
'most friendly, the most cheerful. Vi
dalia came in for her share of these
honors. Winslow Barer was voted
' the best all-round scout, Bennett De
! Loach the cleanest and most loyal,
and Henry Wiggs the best swimmer
and the laziest.
The Trip Home.
The boys left Camp Mason at ten
thirty, hoping to arrive lr. Eastman
not later than 1:30. Mr. Downs,
with five boys, reached there at 12
o’clock, had dinner and waited, think
ing the truck would arrive any min
ute. When 1:30 came Mr. Kemp
had to leave. He took the five boys
that came to Eastman with Mr.
Downs and left for Vidalia. Mr-
Downs turned back toward j.awkins
ville, expecting every minute to meet
the truck. He drove back to Hawk
insville and there found that the truck
had several blow-outs and was about
ready to start the journey again. At
six o’clock the remainder of the troop
reached Eastman. The baggage was
left for the night and Mr. Downs
took nine boys to Vidalia in his car.
Vidalia will have a better troop next
year because of the camp. The boys
were manly and conducted then.selves
in such a manner as to attract the
attention of the camp directors who
complimented very highly the spirit
and personnel of the Vidalia troop.

SALTS FINE FOR
ACHIHNEYS
We eat too much meat, which clogs
Kidneys, then Back hurts and
Bladder bothers you.
Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged
and need a flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu
matic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dis
orders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad.
Balts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. It also neutralizes the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia*
water drink which everybody should take
now and then to keep their kidneys clean,
thus avoiding serious complications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe
in overcoming kidney trouble while it. is
only trouble.
