Carmel has been very for tunate in having a nice, comfort able attractive reading room or library located in the community house and in charge of Miss Florence Patterson who has spared no effort to make it a success. With very little, if any finances, she has worked and toiled, building it up. She had to obtain her literature by her own efforts and has succeeded wonder fully well. Miss Patterson has a number of volumes, all we think are by good authors, and she has made quite an attractive collection of book lets and other things consisting >f good stories and other inter esting articles. She observed Flag Day by draping the Stars and Stripes in one comer with the able in red, white and blue. At tractive containers of flowers in the same National colors were placed about in the room. Miss Patterson always keeps this room very pretty with flowers, and she cheerfully wel comes every one with a cordial greeting and tries very hard to select reading matter to suit their need. Mrs. Rush of McCormick often visits the room and express es her approval of what has been done. throbbing with swing music^&nd issuing lovely girls on the arms of tall men. This impression of camp remained unbroken until last Tuesday night, .and much credit is due the old boys for the way in which the new enrollees were received. On the evening of July 12th, however, the lull before the storm broke. Mr. Reece started the fun by sending a man up on the water tower with some airmail letters for the mail pilot that would drop by a- bout 4:00 a. m. to pick them up. Another Rookie was told to go over to a house nearby and get two or three hole stretchers. Still another chased all over camp looking for light dimmers. Guards composed of new men were set a- round such valuable property as the sign in front of camp, the main light switch, the flag pole, and the rain gauge. None of the men were able to find sky hooks or left handed monkey wrenches. The Forest Service Personnel enjoyed a delicious turtle stew which was served on the Camp Area Tuesday afternoon. Mr. J. W. Ray, erstwhile foreman, at the rock crusher, turned game hunter and supplied the turtles, while Foreman Frank Reece played the role of chef very ably. Ehrollees Mozingo, Tallon, and Parnell left camp on July 14th for Sumter, S. C., where they will work in the Central Repair Shop. Parnell’s place as handy man a- round camp is being filled by “Sister” Lawrence Crawford. Property Clerk J. H. Draughon came over from Columbia Monday to check property and property records on the Long Cane. It is quite a coincidence that Mr. Draughon returned to Bradley on his third anniversary of leaving Camp Bradley. He was transfer red here with the company when t came from Butler, Ga., and erved as forestry clerk for eight months before he was given an appointment as ECW clerk at Camp F-3 located near Witherbee, S. C. While at F-3 his efficiency attracted the attention of the supervisor’s office and he was ransferred to his present position. Clerk Thomas Robinson is on eave this week. He is spending the week at home with relatives. xx Birthday Picnic Funeral For Robt. E.
