Dade Boys Good Students At Camp Mary Walker Two Dade county boys, Jack McAbee and Kelly Renfroe, won a scholarship to Camp Laura Walker, State Forestry Camp. While at this camp these boys were given trianlng in general forestry practices and were giv¬ en opportunity to study the very interesting process of making turpentine, all the way from tree to turpentine still. Each year 4-H club boys have an opportunity to win ships to this camp. Letters be- low indicate how the boys en¬ joyed their stay at camp, and also their commendable conduct while there. “I am one of the boys of the Dade County 4-H Club who went to Waycross to the State Forest¬ ry Camp. It was a very inter¬ esting trip. I learned many in¬ teresting things like getting rosin from the trees and was carried through a ing plant where turpentine was made. We also learned how fire damages the forest trees. We learned how to protect them from fire. We also had fun go- ing swimming while there and seeing the picture shows. It is a very nice place.” “Jack McAbee, Avans, Ga." “Mr. L. C. Adams “Dade County Agent “Trenton, Ga. “Dear Mr. Adams: “I wish to thank you for the nice boys that you sent Laura Walker last so happened that they were to the cabin which had in charge, and let me that they were boys that would like to have when he is on a trip of that nature. They were very cooperative, will- to work when we had to work, attended all assemblies promptly, and were liked very much by the boys with whom they were associated while in camp. Little Jack McAbee was one of the smallest boys we had in camp and I believe one of the most popular with the other fellows. I liked to hear him use that "mountain broeue" am sure you must get lots of pleasure out of your work with boys of this caliber. ‘Very truly yours, “Robert A. Winn, “Asst. County Agent “Bulloch County.” VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL AT RISING FAWN CLOSED LAST SUNDAY The Dajly Vacation Bible School that was sponsored at Rising Fawn Baptist church last week was well attended, there being a total enrollment of 52.
