From Miss Scott, of Kirkland Lake, The Advance has received the following article on this camp, which is published for the interest of readers, Other articles on the camp will be published later. C.G.LT. Girls Look Forward to Holiday at Camp Lotraine Many girls are looking forward to the CGILT. camp at Lorraine, an event which is one of the most popular holiâ€" days in Northern Ontario. This year the sent canvas from July 11 juniors will occupy balance of the month The following article on the delights of camping is presented by C.G.ILT. girls as an admirable description of the delights of the camp. It was writâ€" ten on last year‘s camp for a magazine: Camp Lorraine (Mary Chase) "What‘s it like at a C.G.ILT. camp anyway?" I can hear hundreds of girls in Canada and Newfoundland who have never been at a.camp yet asking this question. Let me tell you this first of allâ€"there are ns two C.G.LT. camps alike. for economical trans portation Had you been able to charter an | aeroplane which would carry you up . to Northern Ontario, to a lake called | Temiskaming, you would have found cne of these camps.

All the sides of it open out like windows, overlooking the lake which is just below. There‘s a fireâ€" ‘place, too, for rainy weather. Up a bit ‘on the hillside stands the "Chalet"â€"a very special little building where some cf the leaders live. The white specks ‘are tentsâ€"two, three, our, or five of them, depending on how many campers there are. The tiny moving objects which you see are the thirtyâ€"nine campers, and nine leaders. The campers have come from the Northern townsâ€"Timmins, \erkland Lake, Cochrane, New Liskeard __some have come as far as two hunâ€" â€"some have come as far as twWwo Aunâ€" dred miles. scon after seven o‘clock you will see the campers down on the beach at work with soap and tocth brush. Then, splash! They‘re in for their morning dip! Half an hour later you wouldn‘t know the camp was the sama place. The moving objects are all settled down, in ones or twos, along the shore. Only the song of the whiteâ€"throat, the lapping of the water. break the silence of the Morning Watch. At eight o‘clock you won‘t see a sign of anybody, for it‘s breakfastâ€"time. Porâ€" ridge tastes twice as good as it does at and, oh, how the toast disapâ€" pears. By this ‘time you will have landed on our lake/ and will have come in to spend the day with us. We shall take you first to our outdoor chapel with its altar of white birch. Here we gather every morning at 9.30. With the birds singing above us, and the clouds driftâ€" ing lazily along the horizon, we worship together in the beauty of the outâ€"doors. Our director leads us in thinking serâ€" SEFRVIGE CARAGE Ansonville, Ont. iously of life, and we come away with a clearer vision and a more definite purpose for our lives. Bible study groups come next. Seven or eight girls meet with a leader, out under a tree somewhere, to study toâ€" gether the adventurous lives of the Old Testament heroés. Now there is a free hourâ€"time to tidy the cabins, to read, to wash clothes down in the lake, to take pictures, to do any of the hundreds of things you want to do at camp. Interest groups come just before dinâ€" ner. On the first day of camp each girl chooses the one to which she wishes to goâ€"nature lore, campcraft, lifeâ€"saving, dramatics, and home nursing, were the ones we had. Here is a chance for every camper to push wider open the doot leading to some interest in her life. The dinner gong sounds!

There‘s hardly a song in the Treasure Book which isn‘t a friend of ours by the end of camp. "But how?" you ask. Ah, here‘s the secretâ€"Miss K. Shaw led our singing. She was one of the comâ€" mittee who compiled the new song book, and she certainly has the art of making folk want to sing new songs. Before we leave the diningâ€"room, "Fifi," a small gingham dog, is awarded to the cabin or tent which ranks camp highest in tidiness for the day. The campâ€"mother has gone the rounds some time during the morning and cast her eye into all corners. By this time it‘s rest hour, and we‘re ready for it, especially if it‘s hot weathâ€" er! Some of the campers take a book and a blanket out under the trees, wlile others snooze in the cabins. Peace reigns for a whole hour! Three o‘clock. The whistle sounds for swimming.

A few of them passed a Royal Lifeâ€"Saving Society test on the last day of camp. But our swimming period isn‘t all work. The last part of it we forget all abcut strokes, and play! Have you ever heard of "aquaâ€"logging?" Two of our leaders introduced this feat into camp, by challenging two of the campers to a race. One person sits astride either end of a log, paddle in hand, and off they go. It‘s a little bit hard to keep your balanceâ€"At least, certain leaders found it so. Everyone‘s starving again after the swim. Fortunate are they who have saved a morsel of "tuck" to eat now. An orange or a cAncolate bar goes to the spot! But camp council follows soonl and emptiness is forgotten in thoughts of all sorts of important things which all the campers discuss with the direcâ€" tor. The other leaders are not allowed to attend unless specially invited. Before supper there‘s some more time to do the things you want to.
