MAJOR BLAKE TELLS ABOUT BOYS TOWN

     Boys Town was the subject of an address given by Major F. H. Blake at the Eagles meeting in Goldendale Wednesday night.  The meeting was attended by all civic organizations as part of a local aerie to lend a hand in making the boys project a success.  The Major in addressing the group deplored the fact that in the Washington State training school we have eight year boys incarcerated there for the lack of a better place to put them.  Camp Columbia, Boys Town of the West, located at White Salmon, is the answer to that question said Blake and it will not be long before juvenile officers will have the facilities of this Boys home placed at their disposal and not have to use the State Institution.
     After the meeting at Goldendale the Major left for Klamath Falls to address the State Convention of the Oregon Eagles requesting that they “Big Brother” Camp Columbia.
