LT III Ee. 4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1923 Diary Provides Vivid Picture OF Daily Lifedit Arden Store Superintendent at Lake Bluff Rest Camp Keeps "Human" Record of Events in Camp The annual drive for funds to maintain the Arden Shore camp at Lake Bluff will take place the first week in May. In view of this fact the following extracts from the diary of the superintendent, giving, as they do, an intimate picture of life at the winter camp should prove of inter- est. to North Shore readers. October 25, 1922.--Winter camp openied with 18 boys. My, but they are a skinny bunch! Arden Shore will soon change that. October 31.--14 more boys, all 14 or 15 years old. Every one has been refused a working certificate because he is undernourished, yet every fam- ily needs the boys' earnings. Harry S's- father and mother are both mutes. November 3.--Admitted 2 little Bo- hemian boys who landed only two months ago in New York. If ever there were war victims, these are. Frank is 15 and weighs only 61 Ibs. Their mother had to kidnap them to get them out of their country. November 9.--Dr. Brannick her weekly visit. Boys making good gains. Camp full to capacity--40 boys. ; : ' November -13.--To-day's program described by Alex is typical: "Bang! Zang! Zang! Bang! rings the bell at Arden Shore at 6:30 a. m. 'Look out! 'Gangway! 'One side! cuts the crisp air as 40 boys spring from bed... After we: are dressed Mr. Palm, our morning exercises. Oh, man, its fierce on a cold day.. After exercises we have breakfast and it sure does taste good. At 8:30 we go to manu- al training and then to scheol we go. Its the Berries at school, and we have lots of fun everywhere. We can smell the dinner from the play- ground and that makes us run all the faster when the bell rings. "Our nurse makes us sleep or rest from 1 to 3 p. m. She says that rest and plenty of milk make boys gain weight. She gives us a lunch every morning and afternoon of milk and crackers. We hike or go to the beach before supper and play games or read afterward." November 29.--Had a birthday cake with candles for Andrew J. It was his first. He has done practically __all the house-keeping and. cooking tor his family for sews years. It is an inspiration to "wac.n his reju- vinati er «2~Thanksgiving Day. 1f you we a real thrill preside over 40 boys facing a thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. 24 boys have never had one before. December 10.--Received a fine do- nation of books for boys. Judging from the way the boys devour books { imagine they have rarely known the luxury of reading a book in peace and quiet. December 15--Peter Z. has gained 10 Ibs. in 3 weeks. He will soon be ready for a job. December 25--Breathless but hap- py! Four days of Christmas and forty boys are a great combination. All the North Shore seems to love the Arden Shore boys. A. S. S. pro- gram and treat; a real party by real camp Fire girls; breakfast at the Nurses" Home at Great Lakes; stock- © ings overflowing with useful and at- , tractive gifts; all these fill the camp with joy to the brim. : December 31. -- Monthy visiting Sunday for the boys' families. In * obedience to his instructions Slim's made. washed and} director; makes us all go out and take our, family arrived showing evidence of violent scrubbing and scouring. Hyman's father agrees to buy milk for his son and to let him have the window open at night. William N's mother, shedding tears and simles, alternately hugged and kissed her son, exclaiming," How you get like that, so fat!" February 6--A day of real grief. Pat has left 'us. M.ooking like. a young prince in the good-looking clothes donated by the mother of a son who had outgrown them, he went 1 back to the city to take a job at $15 per week. There wasn't a dry eye in camp when he broke down on leaving the only real home he knows. February 19.--Slim graduated to- day. We wonder who will take his place in breaking in new boys. "Yes," he was overheard to remark, "they learn you manners here. You got to use the right tools at the table. Don't never eat your pie with a spoon." n April' 9.--A letter from Gus, grad- uated Feb. 25; bears testimony to the success of our efforts. "I made my mind up that I was not going to write to Arden Shore till I made my- self somebody." Last Saturday my boss asked me where I got my man- ners. I told him at Arden Shore Camp. During the day he promoted me from mail boy to file clerk. 1 will make from $58 to $61 a month." 3 North Shore Catholic Woman's League The North Shore Catholic Woman's League held its annual election and business meeting at the Winnetka Wom- an's club Thursday, April 12.

We couldn't restrain an exclama- tion of surprise. There were actually words enough to fill three such pages set in type half the size of the type in this ad- vertisement. "Now, what's the matter?" he asked. We told him. And he added, "Well if I had thought about that, I wouldn't have needed to write so much, but I only wrote all that I did because I thought it was nec- essary to occupy that space." At all times we are more than willing to talk over with you the order of printing you have in mind, not only to make sug- gestions as to its final form, but in order that we may save you needless time and effort in "writing to fill the space." Call us into consultation before you are all ready to have it printed. LLOYD HOLLISTER, Inc. Printers and Publishers Phone Winnetka 388
