somewhat different.
Take for instance the Y. NJ. c. n.
nc2dquarters established each year az
the manCuvers at American Lake. Last
wear we had several tents where writ
ing material and tables were furnished.
We sold stamps and mailed the letters
for the boys and there was not a time
during the whole encampment that
there was not a crowd around those
tables. Two pianos, talking machines
and other kinds of entertainment were
provided and there was not a night we
did not have a meeting, entertainment
or show of some kind. This year we
are going to do the same thing and be-
lieve we can accomplish much good
for the boys
