bade, a NY > -- sy oy Pt eben ea re TN WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1923 $10 A WEEK AT CAMP ROOSEVELT Applications Must Be Made Before July 1 Ten dollars a week is what it costs a boy to attend Camp Roosgvelt, con- ducted under the auspices of the Chi- cago Board of Education and the War Department of the U. S. Govern- ment, and open to boys from all parts of the counrty. The camp is lo- cated on Silver Lake, near LaPorte, Indiana. Enrollments early in June indicate the national reputation this camp has built up, and applications and inquiries are pouring into the headfuarters from every state in the union. The reason for this is plain. Camp Roosevelt is open to any American boy of good character, from the age of 10 and up. It offers, at low cost, the opportunities which the finest private camps in the country have to offer. The pre-war basis of little over a dollar a day per cadet is one of its most remarkable features. The bal- ance necessary for the maintenance of this large institution is supplied by public-spirited Chicago citizens: who yearly contribute the necessary funds. Major F. L. Beals, U. S. A., com- manding the camp, is in personal touch with all boys under his charge. They respect and admire him as a leader, a friend and counsellor rather than a stern unapproachable com- mander. His long experience in boy education has made him an ideal head for such a big, democratic American institution, and he is never too busy to go thoroughly into each individual boy's case. The three divisions of the camp, (summer school: R. O. T. C. and Junior) give all boys a chance to be placed where they will have the most fun and enjoy the greatest amount of benefit. Applications for attendance will be accepted at the Chicago Board of Education, 460 S. State St., until June AUTO TOURIST GUIDE READY Automobile Club of America Offers Complete Guide Motorists who are planning vacation tours during the summer months may be pleased to know that the 1923 Associ- ated Tours Guide, the official road book compiled and published by The Auco- mobile Club of America, is now ready for distribution.
