A city without a police department, where every resident belongs to the fire department. A city where every- on moves out in the fall of the year, leaving furniture and household equipment unmolested, and returns again like the birds in spring, only to inhabit the old nest for another sea- son. A city whose chief business is that of worshipping the gospel, and where religious services begin with a sunrise service just as the first rays of dawn peep through the follage which flanks its streets and continue until the gray shadows of sunset leave the trees of the surrounding forest standing phantom-like in their maj- esty. ¢ This *is the Methodist camp near Forestville, known as “The Plainville Tranquilly Past e If the visitor wishes to ride to the the New Haven district, mmbers of grounds from Forestville he. finds a Jitney making regular trips, but if he wishes to enjoy the scenery he spends 15 or 20 minutes and walks up & vural road, past well kept lawns-and out ipto* the country where he has a short journey past green fields and fertile farms. \ About 20 minutes out of the center of Forestville he comes to a branch road leading to the right. About 100 feet down the roadway he sees a rus- {ic .archway surmounted by a large sign reading, “Camp Meeting.” Manchester Avenue To the left just before ' passing through the archway the visitor to the camp sees the caretaker’s house. Inside the gate he finds himself on Manchester avenue with the boarding house, restaurant and public parking grounds to the left and in¥the rear of the houses facing the street on the other side is a large open ampitheater, circular in shape. On the right side of Manchester avenue and facing the inside of the circle are church houses, These houses are owned ‘and maintained by the churches indicated on the houses, house of New Haven, Improvement Society In 1903 a decided step forward was taken when the Improvement soclety was formed. Charles J. Symonds of New Britain was secretary 11 years ago and still officlates in that capac- ity. “This society is composed of resi- dents and property owners in the rus- tic city who have banded together for the general improvement of the com- munity. In 1904 the soclety raised §20 for croquet and lawn tennis rgrounds. In 1005 it raised $33 for picnic tables and benches. The fol- lowing year it contributed $100 to- wards the opening of the present boarding \house. In 1907 it voted: to raise half of $100 needed to improve Manchester' avenue. A plank boardwalk costing $37.60 was laid by the society in 1908. * In 1910 it paid $50 towards the fund for installlng running water in the grounds. The sum of $67.21 for im- provements was raised by a tag day in 1911, and in 1912 another $100 was turned over to the’ trustees for gen- eral improvements, ) Flower Beds, Etc. - Natural beauty spots were improved all gver the grounds. Every place a spot could be found- for a small mound of rocks and fern it was used for that purpose. A large flower bed greets the visitor immediately insille the gateway, while many of the houses along Manchester avepue and other streets-have handsome lawns. Residents take a great deal of pride in the grounds. At the home of .. G. Sheldon of Kensington there stands a large bird house on a 'pole. The house is built to represent a country church grounds. Mr. Sheldon is the man who build the inlaid pulpit in the auditor- he has a portrait of the late President Theodore Roosevelt framed mosaic style in the same material, in a panel built in the slde of the house.

Rules are strict and no smoking is permitted on the grounds because of fire hazard, The large auditorium is built in a circle and is open on all sides. Seats inside the enclosure will accommo- date about 800 people, while seats placed at comfortable positions on the lawn just outside will hold as many more, Worshippers are called to service by a _large locomotive bell which is mounted on a platform alongside the pulpit. No Police Needed Little, if any, police protection is used or needed. *“Don’t you lock your door?" the Herald man asked of Sec- retary Symonds. ‘“We never think of locking up, it isn't necessary,” was the reply. The spirit of neighborli- ness is exemplified and a wandering marauder would find himself watched by all eyes as long as he stayed in the neighborhood. Playgrounds are provided for chil- dren and grown-ups and a baseball diamond is expected to be improved and graded within a short time. There is an athletic field of five acres in the process of development. The season starts tomorrow, July 20, and “lasts until July 30th, From that date until August 8 the Connec- ticut Chautaliqua will have charge. Today is being observed as ‘“Vterans' Day."” ‘Mount Olivet" To the north of the camp site is a little grassy mound known to the campers as “Mount Olivet.”” Every morning at 6:16 o'clock those who re- side at the camp during the season will hold a sunrise service in charge of 8. 8.
