The two machines met head on, vhile both were goin on at a f.ist clip. The cars were both badly damaged and the occupants received cuts and bruises. They were treat¬ ed by a nearby physician.

Camp "AlabODia"
The following Nazarenes enjoyed a very pleasant four-day outing at Boulton Heights last week: Helen Bardill, Mae Gassier, Ella Flyte, Helen Henry, Harriet Henry, Ella Kreidler and  .Maude .Menhennitt.
Boulton is not a regular camping site, but due to the courtesy of the Henry Family "Camp Alabama" wab established on their private grounds, with Captain Bruce Henry in charge.
Fortunately, Jupiter Pluvius kept his fiood gates closed during the entire time in camp, and the days were spent either in some terrestrial spot beneath the sylvian shade of the stately pines and hemlocks, ^-hich for a century or more have given like pleasure to other ardent rature lovers, or upon 'he placid vaters  of the beautiful  Lehietan.
One very enjoyable feature was the full course spring chicken din¬ ner, the gift of one of Nazareth's most prominent business men. Other guests were also entertained at this time. But "the mysteries of theNox," with the Captain on guard. was in itself well worth the energy put forth in setting up the camp, and '.n years to come, when we reminisce on the days spent in "Camp Ala¬ bama," perhaps for this alone each one will say "long may her memory live."
During the period of encampment the following guests were enter¬ tained: Miss A. Bahnsen, Mr. and Mrs. Connolly, Prof, and Mrs. Clar¬ ence Clewell, Ruth Clewell, Jobn Clewejl, Thelma Flyte, Mrs Robert Henry, Miss Clara Henry, Miss Sophia Henry, Mrs. Granville Henry. Charles Henry, Mr. and Mrs. V'illiam Henry. William Henry, Jr., James Henry, Mr. and Mrs. George Kreidler. Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Mar- tm. Miss Laura Martin, Herbert Martin, Mr. and Mrs, William Men¬ hennitt Dorothy Menhnnitt Mrs. T. H. Stites, Mary H. Stites, Lydia Stites, J R.
