Captain Brown's Message to the Company
A superior Rating for this Company is our goal. It is just around the corner. It is already and Excellent Camp. By pulling together, and every one of us doing our share to the very best of our ability, we can raise that rating to Superior.

As your Company Commander, it shall be my every aim to assist you to make this camp a congenial home, a clean home, a home that you'll be proud of -- for it is your home while you are here. By every one of you doing your share in keeping the barracks, recreation Hall, and grounds clean, neat and orderly, you can make this the best camp in the District.

Additional recreational programs are being organized. Let us know what you want to do the most. A camp orchestra is being formed. A dramatic club may be organized. The All-camp programs can be entertaining and varied if you fellows will let us know your specialties.

This issue of the Camp paper will be Volume Number 1 for 1936. It will be published twice a month. Contributions will be welcome. There is a good chance for some journalistic experience for some of you. Take advantage of it. It is your newspaper. Make it one to be proud of, one that you will want to send home to your parents.

I shall endeavor to be fair and impartial to all in my dealings, and to work for the constant betterment of every one of you individually as well as for the company as a whole. All that I expected return is that each one of you give your earnest efforts to make this the BEST Company anywhere.

Luby Bay Water Supply System
Two reservoirs have been built at Luby Bay. The combined capacity of these reservoirs are twelve thousand five hundred gallons. One reservoir holds twenty-five hundred gallons, the other has ninety-five hundred gallons. This is sufficient to supply the camp grounds, ranger station, and six cottages for two weeks.

There will be approximately four thousand feet of two-inch pipe used in construction of this project. The pipe runs four hundred feet from the shoreline to the intake. The intake is fitted with a strainer and it is supported by three feet off the lake bottom. The water at this point is approximately 30 feet deep. One hundred and fifteen feet of pipe is required from the lake shore to the pump house. The ditches are dug to the approximate depth of four feet, and they are dug with care as so to preserve the forest floor as much as possible. About five hundred feet has been laid.

The water is pumped to the large reservoir by a sixty-five pound pressure pump. It has the capacity of two thousand five hundred gallons per hour. This reservoir will supply water to the ranger station, and will also supply water to the smaller reservoir. The smaller reservoir has a floating valve to keep the same amount of water in the reservoir at all times. The smaller reservoir will supply water to the camp grounds and to six cottages. It is fitted with a drain for cleaning.

The concrete for the reservoirs is made with special care. The water is heated before using. The concrete after being poured was kept above freezing temperature for seven days. The reservoirs are made impervious by mixing, according to the proper amounts of semantic, standing water; all air was expelled by tamping the concrete. The concrete has been poured and set, and the forms removed.

This project is in charge of Lyle Drury. Leader in charge: T. Kinner.

Enrollees working on the project are: Swagger, Harrison, tennis, Levin, Veltri, Borsos, McFadden, Bently, Glasgow, Haughton, Keller, Rohlf, and Carey.

The first all camp nite, of 1936, was held last Friday evening, the third of January. It began with Lieutenant Lauri playing a few hot numbers on the piano, followed by all the members singing a few old-time favorites.

The Master of Ceremonies been presented a three-piece orchestra composed of Barnett at the piano, Kassens on the Banjo, and Beale on the Clarinet. This group gave us a few waltz pieces. The next few numbers were from the string orchestra composed of Johnnie Jacobsen, Hank Ferguson, and Chambers with guitars and Mike Self on the violin. The boys were assisted by Houston Carr, vocal.

Mr. Doty then introduced Capt. Brown to the members of Company 1994. Capt. Brown give a short talk, stating how well pleased he is with the company and the camp.
