Mukluk Camera
Club News
. By ELEANOR LUDBROOK
The Mukluk Camera Club had
such an enjoyable time on a re
cent club picnic that it was agreed
at their regular meeting Friday
night to have more outings this
summer. In consideration of the
fact that everyone is so busy dur
ing the summer season and also
that business meetings held the
year round are apt to become a
bit tiresome at this time, it was
unanimously decided by the mem
bers to have only one meeting a
month and that to be in the form
of a field expedition for picture
taking, fishing and a picnic. The
club hopes that this will be an in
centive for absentee members to
show more interest in club ectivi
ties. The members are asked to
bring guests andor prospective
members on these outings.
The entertainment committee is
responsible for the planning of
these trips and the other commit
tees will take care of the business
end of the club during the sum
mer. The next regular meeting
will be held in the club rooms
on the fourth of September.

FARRAGUT'S SHIP ROTS
NORFOLK, Va., UPi — A tired
old lady droops in her berth here
while Congress ponders whether
it should give her an expensive
prescription that would prolong
her life. The old lady is the once
proud USS Hartford on whose
decks Admiral Farragut in his
battle with the Confederates in
Mobile Bay yelled:
“Damn the torpedoes. Full
speed ahead.”
A bill has been introduced in
the Hou^e of Representatives to
restore the old lady and send her
to Mobile as an historic relic.
Te Navy estimates more than a
million dollars would be required
to restore her.
