Local Children
Attend Presbyterian
Jr. Gamp This Week
Six Palmer children and two
from Wasilla are attending the
Presbyterian Church junior camp
this week at King’s Lake Camp.
They are Barbara Brewster,
Sharon Collier, Heien Schaefer,
Shannon Mick, LaVerne Lindsay,
and Dick Estelle of Palmer; and
Wayne Klayun and Ann Wilkes
of Wasilla.
Altogether about 40 youngsters
from the Yukon Presbytery’s An
chorage area registered Monday
morning. They were determined
to have a good time for their five
day stay in spite of the dour
promise held out by the weather.
Rev. J. H. Johnson is in charge
of the camp this week. He is be
ing assisted by his wife; Rev.
Rolland Armstrong, field repre
sentative of the Presbyterian
Board of National Missions; Rev.
Harry Gayley; and the four Whit
worth College students—Helen
Greiner, Genece Oshanyk, Doug
las Gates, and Douglas Black.
Rev. Harry Gayley was the first
camp casualty Monday when he
fell and injured his knee. Taken
into town for treatment, he was
ordered hospitalized by Dr. C. C.
Bailey. He was expected to be
released from the hospital today.
When the junior campers leave
Friday, they will be followed by
junior-senior high school camp
ers. Rev. Harry Gayley will have
charge of this camp session, but
according to his physician, he’ll
have to hobble around camp on
crutches.
