Smithfield, June 24—The advance party reached here safe and happy at 11 o’clock today. The camp is one busy place as the boys are putting up tents and doing camp fatigue in general.
Jim Ward, the bugler, has been assigned the job of ironing all of the tents as they were in a very bad way from wrinkles.
Henry Weil has made a discovery that will interest scientists all over the country. He has discovered a colony of albino red bugs.
Henry Liles seems to be in general favor as a candidate for the camp coat. If he is successful in his campaign, he will be awarded a set of he-goat whiskers at campfire tomorrow night.
Dick, the cook, has placed his order for enough material to make quite a number of Florida Flips for tomorrow dinner. We are planning on having a tractor hooked up to a large wagon to pull the material out to camp. By the way, we call the midway meal dinner on this camp.
While putting up a tent, the bugler blew his mess call and we had to dig several Souths from under the tent, as Lionel Weil was holding the main rope.
There will be a little article in this paper each day about Scouting at Tuscarora, “The Real Boy’s Camp.”
