Sea Scouts Active at Camf Baiting Hollow \DVERTISE BIDS FOR MATTITUCK HARBOR LeRoy S. Reeve, member com- littee on Ports and Waterways ong Island Association rece'ved he following letter from Meade )obson Secretary of the L. I. .A.s- ociation: \I have just been advised by ^aptain B. C. Snow, assistant to ' he U. S. District Engineer, that hey are now advertising spec'fi- «»tion8 for work on the we^t etty at Mattituck Harbor, bids \or which will be opened on Aug. '6th and it is expected work will start within 80 days thereafter. \Aye Sir,\ is being heard all around Camp Baiting Hollow this week when a score of more of Sea Scouts reported for this week's activity. These boys are all equipped in white .sailor uniforms and are •\nmped in tents right on the water where they can look after the v.nr- ious small sailing craft which will be used in their pi-ogram. Sea Scout Commodore E. C. Rund- quist of Riverhead, and Sea Scout Director Alan R. Wickham, arg di- recting the program in which a few older land scouts are aho tak- ing part as \cabin boys\ on their way to becoming ,Sea Scouts. Special instruction in Life Sav- ing and all forms of water activity are being inc]uded as well as how to sail and handle small craft. 347 Scouts Have Been at Camp The total attendance of boys and Scout leaders the fir^.t four weeks of Camp has been 347, and special interest is being taken this year in the Rifle Range, Archery, and the Handicraft work, this lat- ter part under thg direction of Mr. Max L, Clark is the best ever done at Baiting Hollow. A new Rifle Range was set up this year and some splendid scores have been shot under the direction of Mr. Wm. Scharff, nature study director, who is the supervisor of this activity. The boy scouts of America believe that a boy ought to be taught how to handle firearms safely just as a boy ought to know how to handle a canoe and boats safely. It is no favor to a boy to merely keep him ignorant of these experiences for he is bound to want to paddle a canoe and shoot a rifle at !=ome time or other and it is felt that t is far better that hi- be trained in advance to know ho»v to do it afely and well. Suffolk Doctors Enjoy Barbecue A total of 70 doctors and wiv^s enioyed a beef barbecue at Camp 'ast week on the occasion of the dedication of thg new camp infir- mary presented by thom to Mr. Harold R. Reeve of Mattituck, who as chairman of the canip committee, received the building in the name of the council. George J. Fi.-her, M.
