Morse announced his plans to give Camp Patmos an ad– ditional 18-acres of land. This would increase our acreage from 8 to 26 acres and would have the following features: 1. The camp will now extend from the present shore on the bay to the eastern shore of the Island. Old-timers will remember some swimming done there in earlier camp times. The distance from shore to shore is 1575'. 2. The property Jines running east– west ( shore to shore) are par– al1el Jines 700' apart. The south– ern line now begins where the entrance road to the camp meets the main road. (Our property used to end just a few feet from the chapel.) The northern line start just north of the girl's cabi n line. Since our property had curved southv.'ard from that point, there will be a buffer ,one of our ow11 propcrt)' north of the girl cabin . 3. In the relatively 11ear future, the road pa ing by our can1p v.' ill b come a pri, 1 ate clrive for tt "' .

Mr. Morse will de– velop the land on the north for his own personal use. All of this is great news for which we praise the Lord. God had given Patmos leaders a concern for more land and a buffer zone. Less than a week after a contact by Pastor Lynn E. Rogers, the proposed grant of land had already thrilled our souls. J ehovah Jireh! An interesting and gratifying com– ment made by Mr. Morse was that everyone on the Island to whom he talked was appreciative of our camp. We also realized through talking to him that this property i~ considered by many as prime property, an<l is expected to be valued at $5,000.00 per acre. Things have gone well this summer at Camp Patmos. There have been a goo<l number of decisions, and the weeks ha e averaged about 260 people with 220 of the e being can1per .

Attempts have been made in the past but they did not prove successful. It seems that in an area so large there ought to be at least one OARBC church! Three GARBC families have moved into the Cincinnati area only recently. There are several other families who have shown an interest. This new effort will be in the Mont– gomery ection on the northeast side of Cincinnati. Any of our readers knowing of folk in Cincinnati that should be contacted regarding this venture, please give their names to our State Missionary, Rev. Earl Um– baugh, 2150 Marhofer. Sto\.\.
