Recreation committee members are reminded of their meeting on Tuesday June 30 at 8:30. - Camping adventures There was more than fishing to cause a little ex- citement for Bill Chessell and brother-in-law Don Riehl on our first night in camp at Powassan a week ago. A man was heard call- ing, from acrossthe river at 10:00 at night, that he was lost. They went over and picked him up, then got the camp owner out of bed to return him to his car,which had a dead battery. Instead of following the road to a farmhouse, he had attempted to go across heavily wooded ravines and become hopelessly lost until he came out in a meadow from where he could see the camp lights. The man was a new employee of the township, and not familiar with the area.
