THE REVIEW

Wednesday, July 30, 1975

MOOSE LODGE NO. 1390 celebrated its 55th anniversary Saturday with a banquet and dance at the Moose hall in Saanichton. Two of three charter members still active in the club, Frank Moulton and Jack Johnstone, attended the affair. The 48 current members of the fra ternal order spend much of their time raising money for use in youth programs, including

Sponsorship of junior hockey and baseball teams. Lodge Governor Charlie Tennant, in his fifth year in the lodge’s senior position, described the group as a family organization whose object is to help in the community “in whatever way we can.”

What Mother Doesn’t Know About Seout Camps

By JACK SCOTT

I was casting about for some Way to ease into a piece on the subject of summer camps for children, a thing I’ve recently been exposed to, when a friend of mine named Johnny, age of nine, provided me with what the English teachers probably still call the topie sentence.

“Boy, did we have fun:” Johnny reported with an enthusiasm remarkable for one so hollow-eyed. “We never slept at all! We hadi a pillow- fight at three o’clock in the morning! I ate nine chocolate bars! One boy ate 12! We went in swimming with no clothes on!”

He'd have earried on with his account, but his mother gently ushered him off to his pad for some much-needed: convalescence, leaving me with my memories and pretty apt description of what makes the summer camp an un- forgettable part of a boy’s life.

His mother, of course, is slightly appalled at this. She was under the impression that Scouts spent all their «time rubbing sticks together to cause fire or making sure that the. moss was growing properly on the north side of trees.

She had ‘no way of knowing that somehow there’s always

a little confectionery store within hiking distance of even the most remote of these camps or that any small boy, freed from the confinement of the nest, is apt to get into just aS much mischief as his Daddy would under similar circumstances.

MEMORIES

My own memories of two summer vacations spent with 40-odd other wild and inexhaustible creatures at a woodland oasis well-removed from civilization are still green enough to recall the splendid spirit of competition that drove us ever onward to the goal of reducing our keepers to gibbering wrecks,

This, of course, was before the words “juvenile deliquent’” had been coined and a boy and trouble were considered synonymous or natural phenomena.

I've a feeling that my mother, like Johnny’s had illusions of my becoming involyed exclusively with woodcraft, bird-watching, body-building, deep-breathing exercises and such.

She doubtless never dreamed that I was going to absorb a more liberal education that involved my first cigarette (whatever

happened to Turrets, by the way?), an introduction to the game of Blackjack and protracted nocturnal discussions on the subject of birds and bees that might have curled the hair of the late Lord Baden-Powell.

I also became adept at catching garter snakes to be put into the cots of victims callously selected for their

pack. ) Certainly they will be if there are still men like Ernie who have the patience and the love of kids that may make a counsellor a profound in- fluence on a boy’s life, a Ernie was on mine. While the other adults charged with our care fretted and harangued'and organized,

Whether such camps have changed with the times I wouldn’t know, but I’ve a feeling that boys are still boys when they get off together ina

I hate to moralize, but perhaps if there was more awareness of that and more facilities for it, preferably out in the deep woods, we’d get back toa fairer assessment of junior.
