A—16 * BLASSFORD URGES FUNDS FOR CAMP Radio Audience Told Plan of Rescuing ;Youths From . Throes of Depression. Plans for establishing a model camp for wandering boys on the Potomac, near Washington, were described by Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford last night in & radio nppul for funds to launch the enterprise. - Speaking over Station WJSV, Gen. Glassford told how he expected to set F Camp America on & thousand acres fertile land between Washington and Leesburg, and how poultry, dairy and truck farms could be operated for the eventual self-support of the project. The spealier used information he collected during Several mantts spent, among young wayfarers to emphasize the need for immediate action. He declared that Camp America should serve as a model w the rest of the country, and perhaps offer a {:lunnn to one of the most distress- g phases of the depression. Undermining of Youth. o purpose of this talk,” Gen. Glassford said, “is to bring to you s clear picture of how the present eco- nomic situation is undermining the igunm victims of the depression and uwm{ors\lppminn- unn it the Unimd States there fortunate enough to be able to lay down for the night. Day atter day, they wander, eating at random. Night after night, they sleep in any conceivable place that offers a shelter.” QGen. Glassford pointed out that the ' mmlents are e to every , of mind as well as ved of the home influence, risk of becoming ‘cfixfihmdlflbeuuudmmflm I has tuned them sarift, another million on of destitution.” ted although several bills for im- mediate relief have been introduced in Congress, none of them has been passed. Need of Federal Aid, “It is impossible for the Federal Gov- ernment to overcome this situation at|son. two ye Returning to the p!xgm of finem- ylr/yed boys in Gen.

Glassford said a must be improved to make the camp accessible. road,” he continued, “will increase the value of the land at least $10,000. Everything we plan to do on this prop- erty will increase the value, so that ‘when the depression is ended and there is no further need for the camp, we can sell the poultry farm, dairy and truck farms and pay back to the under- writers a substantial part of their con- tribytion. “All that is holding up the estab- lishment of this training camp is lack | for of funds. The boys must be fed until the camp is self-supporting. They must be clot.hed and provided with other ne- cessities. We require trucks, farm ma- chinery, implements, seed and fertilizer. We need cows and pigs and chickens. We need equipment for vocational|in training. We need thousands of dollars to make Camp America a success and we must start immediately in order to take advantage of Spring planting.” Federal Funds Lacking. Gen. Gldssford said there are no Federal funds available from any source to start the camp, and, as a conse- quence, the project is epmdznt solely on private contributions.” He estimated that $20 will ke train a boy for one month, and includes payments on the land. About $120,000 would be required for the first year with a camp enrollment “of 500 boys. During subsequent years, however, the cost will be ne(unble. Glassford declared. A $20 contribution entitles the donor to one membership & pro rate ownership in the land. Thus the mem- bers will receive their share when the land is sold. “In other words,” Gen. Glassford sal contribution is also an_investment. Boys will be selected for the camp by t.he ‘Transient Committee of the Dis- trict, on a basis of good character, health and industry. They must be bona fide victims of the depression, but can be either transients or residepts of the District. No boy will be accepted ‘who wisely can be returned to his home. Gen. Glassford said it is his inten- tion to live in camp with the boys as commander, adding that “some splendid men have volunteered to go with me as instructors and to work without pay. Among these are experts in construc- tion, agriculture, engineering and vo- cational training, as well as a chaplain, doctor and dentist.” ‘The speaker predicted that a success- ful camp for the rehabilitation of you'n‘gx tnnalu established near Clpl “will expand quickly to a Nat movement.” He concluded with an appeal for subscriptions, no matter how small, from “every club, every church and every veterans’ post in the city,” as well as from every individual interested in jthe welfare of “America’s men of to- 1 morrow.” e of road | 7" “The improvement of the N _Minute Mysteries Solution to ms OF I‘Ai'l.
