WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1925 FIND REST CAMP EARTHLY HEAVEN Arden Shore Described by Worker as Ideal Vacation Spot for Unfortunates "SUBURB OF HEAVEN" Beautiful Tract Laid Out by Jens Jensen By CAMP WORKER To be sure, it is a city made with hands--very capable ones too--none other than Jens Jensen having laid it out. The many mansions are painted wooden houses--the gates are not of pearl--the only gold in the streets is that of dandelion and buttercups--but the Golden Rule functions faultlessly, the executive machinery, lubricated with good will, smoothly and efficient- ly carries on the unique municipal business of giving help to the helpless, joy to the joyless, hope to the despair- ing, rest to the weary and heavyladen. Here a genial glow of sympathy and cheer irradiates the cloudiest days and the very faucets are said to spout the milk of human kindness. "Not Gads Hill, but God's Hill," said one tired mother, in the days before the name was changed to Arden Shore. "I am leaving Paradise," said another, when her too short visit was ended. A glance at the directory of Arden Shore's activities further demonstrates its position as a celestial annex. For instance, the "Mothers and Children" page. As every one knows Arden Shore is the lovely spot where poor mothers and children are sent for a two weeks' vacation and where they learn the elements of hygiene and sanitation. It is interesting to know that these lessons are in most cases carried over to every day life, so that "repeaters" coming back the following year show a marked improvement. Find Genuine Gladness The Kiddy Koop, a day nursery, and Kindergarten relieve the mother of all care and leave her free for rest and fun. One of the great services of the camp is the re-awakening of the spirit of play in these poor mothers, so crushed between the millstones of nec- essity and adversity. They sing, they joke, they dance their national dances, they play games, and find that glad- ness was only just around the corner after all. That is one page--on another are the "little mothers" --the careworn little sisters, who have all the toil and re- sponsibility of motherhood and none of its rewards. Cinderella Lod is their own special and exclusive Sin and here, overlooking the beach and the lake, they are - assured of two weeks of care-free joy. Another group of girls is that which corresponds to the group of boys that occupies the camp in the winter--girls who must work and can't work--be- cause of underweight and general low physical condition. They stay all sum- mer and live in the Eleanor Hamill cottage. One other group stays all summer-- the convalescent children--boys and girls who have been discharged from the city hospitals. A summer in the forest of Arden puts them on their feet to stay. Boyville There Too There is Boyville--80 to 100 lively boys, between 10 and 13, under the care of two directors.

Mealtime is welcome at Arden Shore and the camp gathers in the great screened dining room without much urging. There is a hush--heads are bowed and these, who would seem among the least favored of God's chil- dren, murmur thanks. I recommend this moment to any scoffer. However, it is instantly followed by a cheerful clatter as the well-balanced and well- cooked meal is bustled on by the young waitresses, girls who pay in this way for their vacations and, as one asserted, "have a swell time doin' it." They take a lively part in all camp activities, have their own director, and live in a charming new group of houses built by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ware of Kenilworth. Mention must be made too of the "pay guests," a small group who do not care to accept camp privileges for nothing and pay what they can afford. Quite often the free guest of one year comes with great eclat and self respect as the pay guest of another year. These are some of the Arden Shore activities any one of which, alone, would give it sufficient excuse for being but which bloom in beauty side by side; and if untiring zeal, efficiency to the nth power, and unselfish service could be capitalized Arden Shore would now wallow in affluence. However, being only a suburb of Heaven, some- thing more than love and devotion is required to keep it going. Before very long, if you live on the north shore, you will have an opportunity to make an investment--an investment in blue sky and green trees and grass and flowers for those who know only pave- ments and fire escapes--in beauty for those who see only ugliness--in happi- ness and hope and health and oppor- tunity for the sad, the ill and the help- less. The dividends from this invest- ment cannot be measured by any known standards--it is an investment acreage in a celestial subdivision--all improvements in and paid for.
