Reforestation Camps Are Not All Work, Says A. C. Boy
Boys in the citizens' conservation camps get plenty of real work, according to reports received from them, but the work is livened up with occasional week-end trips. Two Arkansas City youths, Robert Bowman and Kenneth McKern, who are in camp near Waubun, Minn., recently took a trip to Winnipeg, Can.
A report of the trip which follows is from a letter written to Robert’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Bowman, 715 West Kansas avenue:
“We left camp about 9:30 Friday night. Twenty-two boys were piled on the lumber truck. Sardines or seven on a bed are just a mere sample of the way we were packed. The fare was $1.50 apiece.
‘‘You know how the moon has been shining recently. The Minnesota clouds and that moon are scenery but add the pine trees and a few lakes and, well, just try to imagine it. We soon ran out of the wooded country.
“Plains, similar to our western Kansas were the next type of country. These vast pastures are spotted with deer brush, similar to our dogwood. There are about 100 miles of this grass land and the prettiest wheat country I ever saw. The soil is so black it looks like a burnt over wheat field. The drainage of these fields seems almost perfect to me. About every 50 feet there is a dip about a foot lower than the ridges. The hills and hollows are not abrupt enough to hinder the use of the largest machinery but are still enough to drain the field.
“Most of the farm houses are surrounded by a grove of spruce trees for protection against the wind and snow. There are no lakes in this section. Small rivers, many of them dry now, carry away the surplus water. The Red river is a little wider than the Walnut but probably much deeper.
“Then Winnipeg. Everyone who has visited it loves it. It is built on the wheel plan, all streets starting from the center. The streets are very wide and for the most part are built of asphalt. They are well kept and one seldom finds the bumps that are usual in asphalt streets.
“The buildings have a bit more carving than our buildings. Brick and stone are popular building material. Their building stone is the most beautiful I’ve seen in some time. It is gray with splotches of darker gray running through it.
“The brightest thing I ever saw is a ‘mountie’s’ coat. I don’t believe any picture can give the shade. I only saw one mountie
while I was in Winnipeg. The city police (bobbies) are not nearly as numerous as our city police.
“We only stayed in Winnipeg about 26 hours (it took 11 hours to make the trip) and I never walked so much in so short a time in all my life. We tried to see everything but I doubt if we quite succeeded. I wouldn’t have missed the trip for anything. I’m going to try to go to Duluth next pay day. It’s about 250 miles away. It was 270 miles to Winnipeg. In Duluth we could see one of the Great Lakes. Wouldn’t that be somep’n?”
Kenneth McKern is a son of Mr. and Mrs. T. 0. McKern, 120 North A street.
LESTER OSBORN RESIGNS.
Y. M. C. A. Secretary Accepts Position With Denver Ass’n.
Lester L. Osborn, for more than four years secretary of the local organization of the Young Men’s Christian association, has resigned that position to accept a position with the Y. M. C. A. in Denver. Mr. Osborn tendered his resignation to the board of directors of the local association at a meeting held Monday. His resignation is to become effective August 25.
Mr. Osborn will have charge of | the boys’ work for the Denver organization. Mrs. Osborn and their two daughters are in Denver now. Mr. Osborn will join them there after August 25.
Mr. Osborn came to this city from Fort Collins, Colo., over four years ago. Under his able leadership the local organization has had | a steady growth and Mr. Osborn has accomplished much in boys’ work here. In his letter of resignation Mr. Osborn wrote, “My stay in Arkansas City has been a joyous one and I would take nothing for it. Some of the best experiences of our lives have come to us during our stay here. Aside from being a privilege, it has been a real pleasure to labor with not only the members of the board of directors but the people of the community as well. Both my family and I feel that we are losing a great deal in leaving Arkansas City, but the opportunity offered by the Denver association is one we cannot afford to miss.”
L. E. Goodwin of Topeka, state Y. M. C. A. secretary, will come here to help the board select a new secretary for the local organization.
