This is the highest point of observation in this part of the country and from its top a great panoramic view is obtained ot the surrounding country. "These camps offer not merely healthy recreation. We are very par- ticular about the leadership and were especially fortunate this year in hav- ing as leaders ones, for the most part, who had been trained by previous ex- perience in camp. Character Builder "If camp has any value, that value must be realized through noticeable growth in the attitude and relation- ship of the boys and girls to normal life. Camp should offer more than mere health, fun and development 1n out-of-door skill--it should make for character. One fine comment which was made recently by a father, indi- cates that this value which is so much desired by the leaders of these cainps is being realized. He said, "Com- munity House Camp has had one out- standing effect on my daughter--she has a decided increase in social con- sciousness and puts the good of the whole before her own wishes and de- sires now as a rule.

"No, but we purchased four canoes. for next year at a special price of $200," he replied. "This was a neces: sary item, although, in order to ac- commodate the camp fully, it will be necessary to purchase two more canoes. To rent the many row boats needed for camp is a large item of expense each year. The canoes are much lighter to handle than the row- boats, and will be better for our 'River Trip' which the boys and girls take during camp." Camp Has Warm Friends "The moderate camp fees do not quite wholly take care of the expense of camp," said Mr. Davies. By means of the money raised through a camp benefit card party each year, the many friends of these camps help to make it possible to meet these ex- penses, Last spring under the leader- ship of Mrs. Arthur Barrett and her committee $436 was raised for this purpose and to give some scholarships for camp. The Congregational choir took advantage of the fact that this is an open camp and, under the direc- tion of Miss Mary Porter Pratt held an entertainment and helped to send three of their number. Last summer a new Evinrud boat was purchased at a, cost of $135 and also a new motor. More mattresses were needed for the cots, which cost $41 and a new tent was bought for $32.50.
