The sad truth is that the majority of Adventists who wouldn't "walk a mile for a Camel" wouldn't walk a mile for anything in the world. By their actions, you would think that they were just as afraid of the exercise that leaves you breathless COLUMBIA UNION CONFERENCE as they are of the vodka that does the same thing. And effect follows cause. They ASSOCIATION yawn; they are sleepy at 2:00 p.m.; tired at 40; lapse into old age at 50, and generally Alva R. Appel Secretary are too worn out to know or care.

It did. For many the campout provided the first initiation to bad-weather camping. Others more accustomed to the vagaries of nature were well pre- pared with rain gear and ample sup- plies of plastic. The campers came from long dis- tances. There were those present from Maine as well as from southern Vir- ginia. Others came from as far as Ohio and West Virginia. Sabbath services were held on a slope which provided a natural am- phitheater with the forested moun- tains forming the backdrop. Elder Lawrence Maxwell, editor of Guide, was the guest speaker.

Elder John Hancock, associate MV secretary of the General Conference, was present for the whole camporee. His accordion playing added to the religious services as well as to the sec- ular portions of the session. Special nature instruction was provided by Horace Tuttle, a teacher and natural- ist from Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Another high light of the camporee was the parade on the closing day. Units from the various conferences marched to the Blue Mountain Acad- emy athletic field for the closing events of the campout. The program was under the joint direction of Elder Edmund M. Peter- son, MV secretary of the Columbia Union Conference and Elder Wayne Griffith, MV secretary of the Atlantic Union Conference.
