There are three Principles which form
the basis of the Outing Club Anyone
Joining the club promises to .tillguish
all fires before leaving, to clean the
tamp site, and to obey the regulations
of the club The chief provision In the
latter says that anyone who uses a
pet manent camp 'site must replace the
wood which he has used so that his
successor will he provided with the
notes.ry materials The pledge to ex
tinguish all fired Is of much importance
to the Suture of the Outing . Club. Since
Eon Gifford Plnehot has been haul of
the forestry service in this state he
has been laying special emphasis upon
the utter disregard of different people
concerning fires -
Tho Club has made fire protection one
of its biggest Issues far there is - nothing
which would prove More detrimental to
the Interests of the organization than
the failure of Its members to extinguish
all fires which they or others have made
- i
use of.:
The Club intends to secure a . map of
the environs of State College - Which will
Include roads, paths, buildings, and
things which are of especial 'interest
to those who will take up hiking This
map Will he hung In the Track House
where anyone who wishes may see it.
