goes to them renders high ana patSIIl-
otto service and incidentally proilts
immensely by the training and eNper
ienCe- Ny sons have gone ana are
going to these camps. I believe IN
these camps with all my heart ana
soul They are supplying By private
initiative what our governmental rep

provide for everybody. As long as our

being trained. upon everyone goms
