B' Y SC' UTS C F AP'lERICi-X Siskiyou County is part of the Crater Lake Area Council. The headquarters for the council are at 500 East Main Street, Medford, Oregon. There are two Scout Districts in Siskiyou County. Martin B. Webb of Yreka is chairman of the Northern Siskiyou District, and Leslie R. Kyle of Weed is chairman of the S o u t h e r n Siskiyou District. George R. Schrader of Mount Shasta is serving his second term as council president. Over 800 boys are registered as Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Explorers in the two districts. Total council membership is lust under 3000. More than 900 men and women are registered as Scout leaders. In 1950 i4 Scouts from the districts attended the National J a m b o r e e at Valley Forge. Twenty-eight have paid reserva- tions for the T953 Jamboree to be held at Santa Ana in July. The opportunity to belong to a Scout unit is now available to every boy who is interested in the outdoor p r o g r a m of Scouting. Siskiyou County offers great resources for outdoor life and sports. Scouts use and enioy the scenic beauties of the woods, waters and mountains and are ever alert to preserve those resources for the future. Camp McLoughlin, the summer camp, is lo- cated on beautiful Lake O' the Woods. A com- petent staff is employed to a s s u re maximum training and enioyment for every Scout at- tending. A new kitchen and dining hall, Elk Lodge, was in use for the first time in 1952. This has raised the capacity of the camp to 200 Scouts each period. Liberty and Freedom must be earned and se- cured by each. succeeding generation. The Boy Scouts of America is proud of the contribution its members have made, and are making, to the American Way of Life. An appreciation of our duties, rights and privileges as citizens, make every Scout Do My Best to go Forward on Liberty's Team.

Si-li-XS'l'I-X NATY NAL F' RES' PAN-SIZED TROUT rapidly than do brook trout and commonly attain a greater size. All of these lakes are frequently planted by the Department of Fish and Game. A study of these lakes over a period of years by the Department of Fish and Game shows that all other things being equal, small lakes produce more fish per surface acre than large ones and shallow water lakes produce more than deep water. However, some lakes contain more food and produce rapid growth of trout while others are poor in food. ln the latter class, especially when lightly fished, there is always danger of planting too many fish for the food supply, with a resulting population of stunted trout, none of which are big enough for food or sport. CRATER LAKE-MT. EDDY In this same wilderness the follower of lsaac Walton who prefers to do his fishing in the cas- cading waters of a mountain torrent will find 27 streams totalling 275 miles of wild water in which he can find rainbow in the small streams and rainbow and steelhead in the larger. Most of these streams are steep, cascading from pool to pool. Some are quite brushy and all pour down through heavy forests of conifers. There are other streams and other lakes within the Shasta National Forest where the fish- erman may catch Dolly Varden trout, large mouth bass and the newly imported Kamloop, but here in these granite lakes and timbered streams is the real rainbow paradise.
