Kin- ney, director of Adventure Island camp, from Fairhope, Ala. last week, plans are under way by the boys of the camp for their annual reunion, to be held in the Winnetka Community House, Saturday afternoon and eve- ning, April 14. While in the South the past two winters Mr. Kinney spent much of his time in small boat cruising in the Gulf of Mexico, and Florida and Ala- bama waters, a part of the time with thirteen boys, in boats which they had built under his direction. As a result of his experiences cruis- ing with boys, Mr. Kinney has worked out plans for a very lightweight boat similar to the Eskimo kayak, very safe for boys, and simple enough in con- struction for .the average boy of twelve to build. One of these boats will be on dis- play at the reunion, as an example of the type of boat which each boy may build for himself at camp this summer. For cruising with boys the craft has proven almost ideal, being very easy to paddle, very stable, and so light in weight that it may easily be carried upon the beach at any place or any time the fleet wishes to rest or make a camp. For young boys the kayak type of craft, as modified by Mr. Kin- ney, has every advantage of the open canoe, plus a degree of safety impos- sible to the canoe, it is explained. The program for the reunion pro- vides for some typical camp stunts, camp songs, an initiation, the camp movies, and, most important to the boys, the camp dinner. The Rev. Henry S. Gatley, Episco- pal rector at Appleton, Wis, a mem- ber of the camp staff, will preside as official story-teller and toastmaster. One of the new features of the re- union this year will be the active par- ticipation by the fathers and mothers, Evanston Shop Open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday Evenings TEIE@)[EUB Henry C.Lytton & Sons CHICAGO--State and Jackson EVANSTON--Orrington and Church 1CAGOANS Outstanding in Smartness, Quality and Value- - "For College Men, Young Business Men and, Older Men In Our Evanston Shop Sg YHICAGOANS" are the talk of Chicago.
