Spirit  and  Fellowship
Let  us work  for  a better
spirit   of  good fellowship and
honesty.     As a camp -e feel  it's
need,  even more  than we did  in
the  civilian world-.
The   spirit   of   704,   as we  have
conceded  to call   our  paper,   has
dropper'1   it's head in shame.     It
is  an unusual  day which fails  to
see at  least  three  or four  fellows  concerned  over  missing-
garments.     From every quarter	
"Some  one  is wearing my cap".
As  a  group  of  nearly  250  fellows,   we  cannot   tolerate this.     0
One  of  the greatest  pirie  of  the
Civilian Conservation Corps   is
to  fight  this  very  thing.     From
the congested  sections of  large
cities and farmina   -Mstricts,
a group of boys  of varted  environments - ere trftown top ether   to
work  and  get  alcnp:c     Here  %

on life,   a ne -  feeling  of   independence,   and a retreat  from  those
temptations  that  folic so  close
on a boy'o  heel.
Now,   set  apart   from them,
there   is   still  a  tendency  that
leads  to  petty vices.     Petty,
yes,   but  hov" much  it   does  mean to
a bu- ' d y   of  1 imi ted   i .eans.
Their   every violation  of   the
"Golden Rule",   has  a  double
meaning Morale and. Material.
The  former  hits  the  individual,
the  latter   strikes home to your
buddy and. to mine.
Let us then cooperate and
enjoy,  a more  enthusiastic  spirit
of  gel low- ship and. security.
These  and these  alone,   can make
our  camp a. real  home.
