LAKE ARTHUR      The 47th annual Inter-denominational Camp Meeting 
will open at Lake Arthur July 9 (1942) and continue through July 19. 
   
This announcement was made following a meeting of the Board of 
Directors on June 17. Members present were Sidney W. Sweeney, Lake 
Charles, president; Rev. Lastie Hoffpauir, Indian Bayou, secretary; 
J.C. Mack, Lake Arthur; F.H. Helms, Sweet Lake; and Howard Clayton, 
Roanoke. Only one member, Robert Lyons of Lake Arthur, was absent. 
 
Services will be held daily at 10:30 a.m., 3 and 7:45 p.m. by the 
evangelists. About 25 cottages on the campgrounds are owned by people 
who attend each year, but there are also a number for rent and space 
for tents and trailers. Dormitories for both men and women are on the 
grounds, and a splendid dining room service, with good meals at nominal 
cost, may be had on the grounds. The tabernacle is screened, 
guaranteeing protection from mosquitoes. Mr. Sweeney said today, that 
the Lake Arthur Camp grounds are in constant use from June to 
September, and that people from Texas, Mississippi and South and 
Central Louisiana attend these meetings.
