HARRISBURG ajSKfe TELEGRAPH HICK-A-THRIFTS ARE HAVING GREAT TIME Hosts of Visitors Help Make Camp Life Along the Juniata Merry The Hick-a-Thrift Class of the Pino Street Presbyterian Church Sunday School Is camping in the grove along the Juniata river about one-half mile from Millerstown. | The grove is a beautiful spot at the ' entrance to the narrows. The famous j Tuscarora Gap lies Just beyond the camp. This gap Is a narrow opening in the mountain ridge through which . the highway, the old canal, the blue j Juniata and the railroad squeeze, j This section ofttimes been called I the Switzerland of America with its I towering mountains on either sidt . and is known in the legends of the Tuscarora Indians who settled here in the time of the Six Nations, coming I from the Carolinas. | The camp has had the pleasure of I hosts of visitors from all sections of the country, coming by canoe and auto, and even the tramps have given the camp their presence. A sailor on a torpedoed Norwegian vessel gave the campers a history of the sinking of the vessel by a German submarine. Have Ideal Ctimp The campers have pitched their [tents beneath large hickory and chest nut trees. They have ten tents and a large ifavilion, In which they have their meals. The meals are served in sj.lendid style and cannot be better. The cook is the finest in his line and is all the time arranging tempting dishes. The table is lighted at night with carbide lights and the neat tin ware and white oilcloths make the dishes all the more inviting. The evenings are spent in amuse ments and the music is furnished by a graphaphone and a homemade violin. A large 40-foot flagpole was raised with simple ceremonies and the patri otism of the camp waves high above the campers. The pavilion is deco rated with Chinese lanterns and the Stars and Stripes. The rain of Sat urday almost dampened the ardor of the campers, but the chicken corn soup and the various side dishes, end ing with the celebrated Thompson town ice cream, raised their spirits again. The farmers have been most friendly and the chickens, corn, tomatoes, milk, butter and buttermilk have fattened the lean city-fed fellows. One of the campers has already gained twelve pounds. The carnn was invited to a corn-boil at Jhe Elms, a cottage about a inile above t,he camp. The campers have already con sumed about forty dozens of corn. Canoe Trips and Hikes The members in the camp have all attended Sunday school and have been most welcome, taking part in each of the services. A large 18-foot banner spans the road, bearing the words "Hick-a-Thrift Camp—Pine Street Presbyterian Church Sunday School, Hatrisburg, Pa." The canoeing and swimming have been fine, while the fishing has been confined to eels, bass and catfish. Trips to Slaughterback and Bear Rock and Rattlesnake Canyon have 'been features. A large cornroast was given Monday evening to the people of the town. The campers prepared a large log cabin from the railroad ties. They floated down the river thirty-nine ties, borrowed a horse and hauled the ties and a large chestnut tree to the camp. After constructing a pioneer log cabin an Indian attack was carried through and the cabin set afire by the "Indians" after a battle with the "settlers." After nine hours of burning the corn was placed In the cinders and came out in its most tempting style. By the light of the full moon thirteen dozen ears were thus consumed.
