Although the 1950 camping sea
son at King’s Lake Camp saw j
more money spent on improve
ments at the camp site than ever
before, it still was the biggest

ers and in dollars in the bank
today.

Although the ’50 season was the
best in history, camp trustees al
ready are preparing for a better
one. Only a week or two ago,

the Camp, to clear more land and
prepare for additional camp lo

Members heard an optimistic
outline of the bigger and better
plans for the future at last Tues

Commenting on the highly en
coui-aging summer just past, Mr.

used to capacity next summer.”
No dates have been assigned
