The sky was the limit for those Big Spring camper-outers
Sunday at Lake Sweetwater . . . when rows of cots were spread
beneath a West Texas moon—while others were more cabin-wise.
Like'Tom Sawyer they rolled up trouser legs for a day of fishing
and donned swim suits for rigorous sun bathing that left its
pinkness . . . and in the height of the heat cooled off seatting
over the waters in their outboard motor boat—Along came Gladys
and D. D. Dottglas, Eppie and V. A. Merrick, Winona and Henry
Edwards, Eiler. Wood and Earl Ezzell.

"It's sinful" said Trevor Russell and Peter Gerhehty, British

Switzerland" to Sweetwater. He's earned It—we'd say—Manse
