". N, c. A. SUMMER CAMP
Opens Next Week for the Juniors
and Big Preparations are
Being Made.

Hoi for the summer camp and no!
once more for the sunburneu back, the
prouigious appetite and the fat cent?
Lpede.
About this time of year each one
asks himself how and where he will |
spend his summer vacation. To answer
this question, one must know the real
object of a vacation. 1t is primarily to
obtain a rest and to build up the body, |
| in order to be better able to. carry out
duties in store. In other words, va
| cation is one of the means taken to
keep the body in a state of equilibrium.
Now, the question is: How may this
best be Accomplished" And the an
swer is: oy change and rest. Change,
| including a change of work and en-
vironment. One must get away from
the city, to Nature. to see and learn of
her. One needs the beautiful scenery
| which she furnishes, and the rest af-
4 forced by her peace ana quiet. A
change is necessary from the citys pol
luted air TO the fresh, pure air of the
country. One wants enough going on
to keep interested, and does not wat to
spend so mucn money on a holiday that
IL takes the savings of three months
to pay Tor TWO weeks pleasure.
An ideal resort should be near water
of some kind. 1t should also provide an
abundance of plain and good food, the
kim. that makes one grow. No kind of
! an outing can come nearer filing the
bill than camping TRIP with congenial
J companions, in a place where one can
get away from the noise and din of city
life and find plenty to do, swimming,
playing games, tramping, and finishing
the day around the camp fire with
~
kind that makes fellow feel good all
Z over, and better able to do whatever
may fall TO his lot in succeeding days.
