The Lumbermen's Post is sponsoring the movement to construct a lodge and some log cabins at the camp site of the Camp Fire Girls of Los Angeles County which is located on the West Fork of the San Gabriel River, one mile below Opid's Camp on the Angelus Crest Highway' The camp has a wonderful location for week-end trips for the Camp Fire Girls of Los Angeles, Alhambra, Glendale, Highland Park and the surrounding territories. They have about an acre and a half to two acres of land located on the stream with a fine spring for water supply, and they have been able to secure all of the SERA labor that will be ne'cessary to put up the lodge and,cabins. It will take about a thousand dollars worth of material for the building. Mr' H'ubbard had a list of materials needed for the buildings, and copies of this list were distributed at the meeting. He urged the members to get behind the movement and asked their assistance in either getting real good prices on the materials from the wholesalers, or enough cash donations to buy the materials needed to complete the project.

Life Is Much

(The following was written by Stanley in 1g69)

I don't believe that an unemployed man, however amiable and otherwise respectable, was ever, or ever can be, really happy. As work is our life, show me what you can do, and I will show you what you are. I have spbken of love of one's work as the best preventive of merely low and vicious tastes. I will go farther and say that it is the best preservative against petty anxieties, and the annoyances that arise out of indulged self-love.

Men have thought before now that they could take refuge from trouble and vexation by sheltering themselves, as it were, in a world of their own. The experiment has often been tried, and always with one result. you cannot escape from anxiety and labor-it is the destiny of humanity. Those who shirk from facing trouble find that trouble comes to them. The indolent may contrive that he shall have less than his share of the world's work to do, but Nature, proportioning the instinct to the work, contrives that the little shall be much and hard to him.

The man who has only himself to please finds sooner or later that he has got a very hard master; and the excessive weakness which shrinks from responsibility has its own punishment too, for where great interests are excluded little matters become great, and the same wear and tear of mind that might have been at least usefully and healthfully expended on the real business of life is often wasted in petty and imaginary vexations, such as breed and multiply in the unoccupied brain.

HELLALOOYA!

Clear the tracks, you whippersnappers ! Out the way, you flaming youth ! Gangway, fashion plates and flappers, Your old granddad's heard the truth. From the old men's home he's hoppin', Dancing like a crazy man, Singing, shouting: "flell's a-poppin' !" Granddad's read the Townsend plan.

He has painted up his crutches, Folished up his wooden leg, Gave his other tooth some touches, look his toupee from a peg. Says he's found the youthful fountain And the primrose path he'll seek, He'll be "comin' ro rnd the mountain," Whoopee-fifty bucks a week.

Tell the chorus girls, the laddies With the cars they'll see no more; Now they'll meet their sugar daddies In their wheel chairs at the door. When your old man has expended All the fifties that he can, Cares are o'er, depression's ended, Gloom is dead; so's your old man. -fed Breton, in WalI Street Journal.
