the Camden Kiwanis club will be for
boye a]K^*girU nAio otherwhe ypo^ld
not be able to enjoy an outing Ihia
summer. The age restrictions provide that the children shall
be from 8 to 12 years of age incluaive.
The expense of operating this worth whiles project
will approximate |2,000. In ocvgr to secure this fund, the
Kiwanis club iwill conduct a campaign next week, atarting
on Monday.
This project means a lot of happiness for many little
folks who never have known tite joys of camp life. ^Betttf
still it will provide them wi^ ifood nutritious food for the
two weeks they will be in c&w^. Everything will be ar^
ranged so that they will recei^ full meaaure of healthy
sustenance and recreation .
The project should redtlvc the hearty support of
every citizen of Camden. The liappinass and sast of life
that is bound to come into the lives of the young folks is
worth many dollars to Mr. and lira. Camden.
The Chronicle today pfiats an i^lkation form nt the
bottom of this artklt. Tl^ loisi can be filled out and mail
ed to Dr. A.. W. Humphries ai tha dapartment of health. A
special committee will pass upan the merite «f those making
applieatioo.
It is proposed to have each camper be given a physi
cal examination before and after the camp seeston.
