Camp Abnaki Donation Day March
90

In June, 1901. Byron n. Clark and
Harry r. Bolles of the Burlington Y.
NJ c. A, took 81 boys of that city to
Cedar Beach for q Today camp. They
had three sleeping tents, q dining
tent, a cook tent. a kerosene stove on
which TO cook the meals, and one row
boat. But the boys had q good time
and got some help. Next year they
went again TO the same place. Next
year a smaller crowd went TO Mas
coma Lake, Enfield, n. H. The next
two years the party was combined
with the boys of Plattsburg IN their
camp at Chazy Lake, n. Y. The two
following years the associations Of
Burlington, Montpelier, st. Johnsbury
and Franklin county united in camp
at Silver Lake, Franklin. From 1908
TO 1915 the camp was located on Hib-
bard's Point, North Hero.
In March, 1916, the state commit
tee Of the Young Mems Christian as
sociations of Vermont, which has
been conducting the camp for the
past eight years, purchased a site of
q acres of desirable land at the
southern end of North Hero island.
Suitable buildings were erected and
the property is valued at $4,000. Al
ready about $4,000 have been paid on
it.
During all the years in which the
camp was moving from place to place
it was growing in attendance, in in
fluence, and in the splendid results
for which it has become so well
known about the state and country.
Last summer there were 229 campers
representing 65 towns, Is states and
five countries.
Camp Abnaki is not a camp where
a boy spends his summer in idleness,
but one in which the four sides of
life are emphasized by an active pro-
gram in each-physical, social, edu-
cational, spiritual. 1t is a camp of
Christian ideals and Christian lead
ership. 1t is open to any honest boy
who has passed his twelfth birthday.
In order to do the largest good for
the largest number it is run at the
low rate of Sc a week, so boys from
homes of moderate means may re-
ceive its help.
The state committee is very anx-
ious to make another payment on the
property on March 31st, when its f.
nancial year closes. So it has decid-

the people Of the state who are inter

mittee earnestly asks gifts from a
great number of the people of Yer
mont on that day-men, women, boys,
girls, people in all walks in life. Any
sum, no matter how small or how
large, viii be gratefully received and
acknowledged. The money and checks
should be sent to Floyd l. North,

Let all help Camp Abnaki to help
the boys of Vermont.

NEED WOMAN DEPUTY.
HOLDS BUTTE LEAGUE

Appointment of woman deputy
sheriff to investigate dance hall con-
ditions and guard the welfare of
wayward girls of Butte is advocated
by the Morals Betterment league of
Silver Bow county.
A committee consisting of Mrs. j.
B. Ellis, Mrs. A. l.. Bradshaw and
Mrs. w. D. Fenner has been named
to meet with the county commission
ers and seek such an appointment.
The opinion is held that Butte
public dance halls should be more
stringently managed than at pres
ent for the safety of the girls who
go there. If the wishes of the club
are carried out, the curfew ordi-
nance will be enforced and will serve
to keep young people off the streets
at an early hour in the evening.
The duties of the deputy woman
sheriff would not be to become
probationary officer, the members
agreed, but to work among the girls
who have fallen and to help them.

SOCIETY AIDS GIRLS
AT CRITICAL MOMENT

Two young girls from the east
who arrived in Butte without any
money, have been helped by the
Florence Crittenden society OF
Butte. The friendly hand, extended
just at the critical time, probably
saved the girls from resorting to
desperate action.
"Some woman-we do not know
who she is-referred the girls to
u.s." Mrs. G. H. Bucher said. Zone
of the girls had been ill for five
days and all their extra money had
been spent. They were decidedly
homesick and desperate."
The two girls have been given a
home with Mrs. Bucher and both
will be provided room and board un-
til they are self-supporting. One OF
them has obtained a position in one
of the Butte stores. Mrs. Bucher
and others are seeking a position as
stenographer for the other girl.
ut is just such preventive work
that We want to do," Mrs. Bucher
added. "What a great thing it is to
prevent girls from going wrong"
In conformity with this policy,
cards informing girls who are away
from home where they can find
friends will be placed in railway sta
tions and other public places.
