Try our Steak.& eggs BILL'S LAMPLIGHTER CAFE 3313 West Elm St. McHenry The YMCA has a long history of leadership in organized camping. It was, in fact, one of the pioneers in the development of resident - or "sleep-away" - camping in the United States. Since 1885, YMCA camps have served millions of American boys and girls. In the past decade alone, more than 5 million youngsters have at­ tended YMCA resident and day camps. The YMCA gave impetus to the establishment of the A m e r i c a n C a m p i n g association, and has worked closely and consistently with it in upgrading health and safety standards for camps. At the same time, the YMCA has developed and maintained its own high camping standards. A new set of national YMCA camping standards, in­ corporating ACA standards, was adopted in 1970. These standards cover camping policies and practices related to safety, health, tran­ s p o r t a t i o n , f a c i l i t i e s , sanitation, program, ad­ ministration and leadership. Training and upgrading of camp personnel has been coupled, with greater in­ volvement of parents and lay committees in improvement of camping for youngsters, particularly safety measures. Despite constant vigilance and stress on safety, there have been accidents at YMCA camps, some of them tragic. In light of the millions of youths Jeffery Wolf of 1005 N. River road, Terry Schimon of 1804 W. Davis, Ann Huska of 202 S. 'Barreville road, Debbie Mauer of 1631 Park street and Nancy Buch of 3406 W. Washington street. The poster contest, highlighting art work and ecology slogans, was for students in elementary grades 1-4. Nearly 5,000 posters were entered in the competition. ITEM: The percentage Ameri­ can families spend of their dis­ posable income on food is ex­ pected to drop this year from the 1971 rate of 16-percent to around 15.5-percent, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. ITEM: For every man, woman, and child in the United States, American farmers produced 27 bushels of corn during 1971. who have attended YMCA camps, it is remarkable that * the number of such accidents has been relatively low. However, as far as the YMCA is concerned, even one accident is one too many. The overriding policy of YMCA camp managers is safety above all else. The national YMCA is a strong, outspoken adovcate for the highest quality of camp standards. It has supported efforts at legislation that would establish federal guidelines for camp standards to be im­ plemented by the states. At the same time, the YMCA has joined with ACA and other camping organizations to advance the quality of camping experiences for youth through higher safety standards. Meantime, YMCA camp standards adhere to all municipal, county and state health and safety laws. In those states which have no regulations on camp licensing or safety standards, YMCA camps set and maintain their own high standards. This summer some 600,000 boys and girls will attend 405 resident and 1,600 day camps operated by YMCAs. As in past years, their safety and well-being will be a paramount concern of all YMCA personnel, so that the youngsters' camping ex­ perience will be happy, memorable and safe. The Lake Region YMCA of, McHenry county is proud of its safety standards and records also. In the past five years its day camp has served 849 campers for a total of some 25,00 camper days. This year's day camp will again be held at Thunderbird Farm west of Cary. Children 7- 13 may attend. Registrations continue to be taken for day camp periods, July 3-14. July 17-28 and July 31- Aug. 11. ON DEAN'S LIST Five hundred Beloit college students were named to the Dean's scholarship List for the winder term.
