ILLINOIS The Government proposes these camps as great schools in citizenship and in national defense, for the in- :dividual and social usefulness of all 3who attend. Military training will ‘be directed to the initiation of young" men into the comlitions of camp life‘ and the elementary duties of the sol-1 dier. Stress will be put upon the de~ velopment of physical health and vi- gor through out-ohloor games and spans under expert supervision. So- cial and recreational activities will be fully provided and the Chaplains and Hofitesses of the Regular Anny will be assigned to duty at the (sump. Under a pmvision of the Army Re» organization Act and subject to an appmpriation _in the pending Army Bill the Government will pay all ex- penses incident to camp attendance, including transportation both ways, .«ubsistcncc, quarters, uniform, equipv mcnt, laundry service, medical and‘ dental care. i Many will be given for getting acquainted with the workings of com‘ bat troops and the procedure of spe« cial services in the military estabâ€" lishment. ‘ ILL. A gay party left here last Saturday afternoon for a week and fishing trip at Lake Petite on the north end of Fox Lake. The trip was made in two cars and those in tho puny were: Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Jenkins and son. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sum-r and chil- dmn, Mr. and Mrs. Clifl'ord Siolmrt.‘ ‘lhe Misses Grace Vivian and Ruth Gregory and Messrx Frank Dewey. Arthur lohl and Ed. Evan. A fine mess of pan fish won? hooked and the big one. as usual. got away. Dennis Jt-nkins had the said hi}: one on his line, played him to a finish and in landing him the lim- broko. ' It was a pickcrel which would easily, from tho (h-scription. tip the scales at eight pounds. ‘mar will see additional thousands of young men eager to use thls means‘ of preparation for national service; attending the first year a Red Camp‘ to learn the elementary duties of a‘ soldier; the second year a White Camp to qualify as a non-commisv sinned officer; the third year a Blue Camp to become a commissioned Ofv ficer in the Reserve.
