What's it like for a seventeen-
year-old to work in the bush all
summer as a Junior Ranger?
For Zelda Inthout, daughter of
Mr, and Mrs. Cornelius Inthout of
RR 1 Dashwood, the summer was
a unique experience and "well
worth it," despite the fact that it
meant getting jolted out of bed at
6;45 every morning and enduring
a lot of hard work, all day. -
Zelda, who also enjoys working
on the family farm on highway 21
north of Grand Bend, related her
duties as a Junior Ranger,
commenting that it included
everything from painting bridges
to destroying beaver dams.
Stationed at Wendigo Lake
Junior Ranger Camp near South
River ("Not too far from North
Bay where we went to the:movies
twice"), Zelda was one of 24
rangerettes from all over
Ontario.
"Our sub-forewomen Daphne
Sims of Parry Sound and Celia
Graham of Thornhill got us out of
bed in a hurry every morning,"
said Zelda, "Daphne would rip
the covers off all the beds while
Celia simply screamed "Good
Morning" at the top of her
voice."
For the first few days, the 24
girls painted the camp which was
formerly a prison camp. Painting
two bridges was next on the list
and some of the girls found it a
very sore job as a nest of wasps
was engulfed, Pulling out the
beaver dam proved a `smelly`
experience according to Zelda,
"Every day sixof the girls went
to Mikisew Provincial Park on
the other side of South River
(pronounced Me Kiss You) where
they helped with the park
maintenance," said Zelda. "We
were able to meet a lot of dif-
ferent people while working at
the Park."
Chetwyn Estate, five miles east
of Burk's Fall, also occupied a lot
of the girls' time. It is a former
private estate now owned by the
province and it will be made into
a provincial park in four or five
years.
"The house on the estate is
absolutely gorgeous, three
stories high and covered in
stone," said Zelda. "We did a lot
of maintenance work on the
house and grounds."
Depending on the weather, the
girls clothing varied as there
were no uniforms.
"They insisted on hardhats and
work boots," said Zelda, "But
most of the time we wore bikinis
because we had to go into the
water quite a bit and it was a lot
cooler."
The summer wasn't all work
for the girls. Every Friday af-
ternoon they took to the
classroom for lectures which
went as long as six hours, in
addition to a two hour film
viewed Thursday night.
On weekend, the girls worked
Saturday morning cleaning
around the camp.
"Saturday afternoon was spent
swapping clothes and getting all
"gussied up' for Saturday night,
our one night out," said Zelda.
"Quite often we would go to the
dance at Trout Creek and
sometimes Magnetawan. Sun-
days were three-L days, laziness,
letter writing and laundry."
The girls challenged the guys
from the Cadet Camp at South
River Airport to a game of
baseball which ended up tied 17-
17. ( (They gave us a little help")
and joined with boys from North
Lake Junior Ranger Camp at a
field day, which included log-
sawing, pie-eating, swimming,
volleyball, basketball.
"We were divided into teams of
Two more area men have been
charged as a result of police
investigation into the breakin at
Ken Westman Automotive
Supplies in London ,September 14.
This week, Bradley John
Lavender and Norman Wilson
Allan, both of 113 King St.,
Hensall, were charged with
possession of stolen property.
Exeter OPP recovered $750
worth of stolen property in the
investigation.
A week earlier, two Crediton
men, Allan R. and Gordon Baird,
were charged with break, enter
and theft over the same offence.
A large quantity of tires, rims,
carburetors and cables were
taken in the breakin.
London police have been
assisted in the investigation by
Exeter Constable George
12, six boys and six girls. A
second field day was held later
with "guys" from Boulter and
Restoule camps and girls from
McConnell Lake, Each of the
field days ended up with a
campfire and singsong,
During the final two weeks of
August, the Junior Rangers went
on a canoe trip to Algonquin
Park, Some of the girls went as
far as forty miles with three
portages,
"The summer ended on an
unhappy note as 21 of the girls
were in a bus when a tire blew
and the bus rolled over. Several
of the girls were hospitalized.
"We spent the last few days
packing the clothing of those who
were in hospital and saying
goodbye to those whose parents
had come to pick them up," said
Miss Inthout. "This summer was
something that I won't forget and
I'd suggest that any girl who likes
working outdoors in the bush
should experience it, It's well
worth it."

Four thefts were reported in
the Exeter detachment area this
week.
A 45-link chain was removed
from the Highway 83 property of
John Sterling, Stratford. The
chain was valued at $40.
Alvie Lovell, RR 1 Centralia,
reported the theft of $80 worth of
tools from his tractor, which was
parked in a field.
For the third time in recent
weeks, area farmers have ad-
vised police of the disappearance
of barn board from their barns.
This week's victim was Squire
Herdman, RR 1 Centralia.
Three industries at Huron Park
were entered over the weekend.
They were Daymond Co. Ltd.,
Dunlop Tire and Dunline. The
only items which appeared to be
missing were two bottles of pop at
, Dunlop Tire,
However, the would-be thieves
scattered items around at the
bicycle tire plant and did an
estimated $30 worth of damage to
a soft drink dispensing machine
at Dunline.

Hay Township, reported that the
ignition wires had been pulled off
his car and his mail box
damaged. Charges have been
laid as a result of that incident.

bance at the Dashwood Hotel
Monday night.

and another 13 under the High-
way Traffic Act.
