CAMP GOOD WILL MAY HAVE TO
CURTAIE WORK.

The managers of Camp Good Will an
noance that owing to the increased number
OF little ones now being cared for at the
camp. and the added equipment which has
been necessary in the shape Of blankets,
sheets, cots, etc, the committee is finding
the amount of money required for the years
work is going to be more than anticipated.
This means, they say, that unless more
money is forthcoming the parties for the
rest of the summer will have to be cut down
in numbers. No one is said to regret this
more than the chairman of the committee,
Mr.. John Joy Edson Mr.. Edison goes out
to. the camp often and has sat at the same
table where the children eat, and tried
their food and pronounced 1t good. He Is
greatly interested In the work. but says II
the money does not come in the numbers
must be cut down, for the camp must not
show a deficit at the end of the season.
Miss Green's Statement.
Miss Ida A. Green, general agent of the
Associated Charities in speaking of the
work that is being accomplished at Camp
Good VIII, said the children in the camp
have yell, which they give with a good
will" 1t is this:
Your share, my share.
Everybody's share;
Camp Good Wits where
You get the fresh air"
More and more is the camp being known
and appreciated in the city, and more and
more people are asking to go there. Besides.
there are always some families for whom
the camp is not simply the only place where
they can go for a good time and summer
outing, but for the time being the only shell
ter they have anywhere. The needs of the
families generally appear at the last minute
after the party is made up for the week, and
the number so far has every time been
more than it was planned to send.
Commissioner Biddle" said Miss Green,
sis a good friend of the camp. He drives
out there frequently and never comes away
without some helpful plan which he puts
through for the benefit of those who are
staying there.

marks on them where we beat Them" he
said. And that young fellow who was here
was standing on the sidewalk drunk and
he doesn't know what he saw. We was
