FRESH AIR CAMP WILL STAY OPEN Directors Vote Against Closing Farlier Than Was Intended Directors of the New Britain Fresh Air camp voted unanimously against closing the camp earlier than usuai this summer due to lack of fund at a meeting held yesterday after- noon. The meeting was attended by John G. Read, camp director, and in- cluded a long discussion of camp watters in general. he most serious issue facing the camp ofticials was the fact that the failure of the last community chest drive has left the camp treasurer with practically §1,000 less than the amount required last year to finance | the camp with a smaller number of children. Despite this fact the directors have decided to cohtinue the camp to its official closing date, rather than cur- 1l the program and close earlier. They will go through the year with a deficit which they hope the next community chest drive will help overcome. The actior had the approval of rice S. Stanley, president of the United Community corporation. Mr. Stanley was not present at the meet- ing but added today that he was glad the directors had not voted to close the camp. “While the fresh air camp direct- crs are prohibited connection with the communit chest, from making any independent drive for additional funds, there is no reason why they could not accept money it presented to them by pub- iic spirited citizens.” Stanley Gives Fireworks Check Mr. Stanley is orie of the men whe retains a warm interest in the fresh air camp.

With 109 boys safely tucked to bed at the end of a happy day of hiking and swimming, and the sound of Taps floating over the campus. the last two weeks of camp started. The final weighing of the depart- | the most over 400 ing group excecded even optimistic hopes, and pounds net gain v recorded, breaking all records for the boys Some individual gains were in excess of eight pounds, and many five and six pound gains were found for the two weeks. About 20 of the campers were al- lowed to stay for two more of health and fun, and these had to be chosen from among 47 applicants for an extended vacation. These boys staged a spontancous celebra- tion with the few firecrackers and a “Storm King” bomb that was over from the camps Fourth of July fiteworks. The campers who ar allowed to stay . for four weeks go immediately onto an advanced pro- gram of wooderaft and learn to cook make wood beds and shelters, first aid and personal hygiene in the out- doors. The camp, built in the birches and since christened Camp Upson, as it 1s on Upson Hill, has been enlarged, and wash benches are being constructed as well as a larger fireplace. The younger boys will begin work on toys today, and these are always popular. Many different animal patterns are cut out of beaver board and thin wood and painted with lacquer. Some of the boys become expert toy makers and create origi- nal movable toy: 4 Visiting Nurses Attend Fifteen members of the weeks New HAY FEVER Clear your head from Hayfever torture!
