Edythe writes: “Recently, Girl Scouts of Troop 66 embarked upon a weekend camp- ing trip. Our location was the wood- ed area beyond St. Nicholas Ceme- tery, Shavertown. “The group met at Shavertown Methodist Church Friday after . school with their packs on their backs, and hiked to the camp site, a cleared field surrounded with trees and a running brook a hun- dred feet away from which we ob- tained water for washing. We car- ried our drinking water in milk cans. “As soon as we arrived we pre- pared the site and pitched our tents ® (three girls to a tent) then gathered pine needles to cover the area under our sleeping bags (Several inches of pine needles provides a fairly soft mattress.) This finished, we set out to perform our individual chores - some gathered fire-wood, while others prepared the area for a camp fire. Another group con structed latrines and still another dug the grease-pit (for tin cans etc. that could not be burned, so had to be buried.) “The fire builders proved to be experts, and the cooks were able to prepare our supper, following which we held a Campfire Program of songs and stories, and then to bed “The next morning after we had washed, breakfasted, and put camp in order, our leaders, Mrs. Ray Kim- ball and Mrs. Fred Eck, with Curved Bar Scout Dorothy Eck, taught us how to lash a work-table for sup- ASS © with a Bouquet of Beautiful SPRING |: FLOWERS Call in Order OR 4-6616 He © FRESH BAKED SERVED HOT OPEN "FRIDAY and SATURDAY 4 P.M.

We kept our food in canvas bags hung from high branches of trees in the shade. so animals could not reach it and food would stay cool. “Wood gathering seemed to be a steady job, but we like to eat, so we all joined in to get a day’s sup- ply. We prepared our lunch, a one- pot meal of spaghetti and meat balls, cooked in number 10 cans with handles made from coat-hang: ers which were hung from wooden racks so the cans would not res on the fire bed and allow food tc burn. “After clean-up, and making sure the fire was completely out, we took a hike around our camp site and decided we had chosen the best location. We then returned tec camp for an hour's rest before pre- paring supper. “Supper consisted of individua’ foil dinners of hamburg, potato, ecar- rots and onions. The foil-wramper dinners were laid on hot coals tc bake for twenty minutes, turning after ten minutes. “After smpper we enjoved annth- er camn-fire under a sky studded with stars and a brillint moon, bu! because it cooled auickly ‘after sun down. we heated large stones bv the fire. wrapred them in severa’ layers of newspaper. and mt them at the foot of onr beds.

Wrislar gave instructions to her grandson, Edgar Nulton,manager of Hayfield House, - about the details of her fun- | eral, naming her pallbearers and pointing out the grey dress and black slippers she was to wear for her long sleep. Mrs. Wrislar, then 85, also wrote a short life history of herself, using the third person, to be released after her death, which she felt at that time might be imminent. January 14, Mrs. Wrislar, now 95, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lewis Nulton at [Chestnut Ridge. According to instructions, she was buried from the Nulton Funeral Home, ‘and in Woodlawn Cemetery. Her wishes in regard to her fun- eral (a good vault, but not an ela- borate casket) were carried out. Grandsons bore her to her last rest- ing place: Edgar and Elwood Nulton, Hugh Ransom, Henry Hess, William Robbins, and Raymond Parsons. She grew up with the community. knowing it intimately in the horse .and buggy days, seeing the busy little steamboats come to Harveys Lake when it was a Mecca for pic- nic crowds coming by excursion train from New York for a day in the open; seeing the steamboats fall , into. decay with the waning of the | picnic crowds from the city, as auto- mobiles were more and more the | answer to family travel, and a net- | work of good highways spread far- | ther and farther afield from the big | cities. | Mrs. Wrislar takes it from here, writine her reminiscences in a re- markahlyv steady hand for a woman of 85.
