Under the supervision of Athlete
Director F. D. Applegate and C. W
Hadden, director of the boys depart
ment, the boys Of the Y M. C. A. will
leave this city on July 13 to be gon,
for period of 10 days camping in tn,
mountains. The exact site has no
been decided upon as yet, but it i:
expected that the Krutz camp or
Kicker mountain will be used again
This pilgrimage from the city is now
to be a regular custom and is anti
cipated with pleasure by the boys o1
the Y" Every out door sport is in
dulged while in camp and the time Is
rapidly spent in eating, sleeping and
having a general good time. Strfc,
rules are also observed and rigid
watch is kept that the camp is main
tanned in sanitary manner. The boys
do this work and are also required to
wash the dishes, but the culinary de-
partment is superintended by a regu-
lar cook
Last year 33 members, including the
leaders, took the trip and returned to
the city after having 10 days of the
keenest pleasure. 1t is expected that
more will go this season, as invita-
tions have been sent to the boys of
the surrounding towns and from indi
cations many of these will take ad-
vantage Of the exceptional opportuni-
ty One of the officials of the asso
citation, speaking of the camp, said
this morning:
THE value to young boys Of Inis
trip can not be under estimated, for
in addition to spending few days in
a healthy manner, ideal training is
derived from it. Rules tending to
place them on honor are observed,
while lessons in every day occurrences
are learned. The youths of the ''Y"
are making all preparations to take
this trip to the mountains and when
july 13 is at hand, a larger crowd
than went last year will undoubtedly
be present"
