Camp Abnaki Donation Day, March g.


In June, 1901, Byron N. Clark and
Harry r. Bolles of the Burlington Y. NJ.
c. A. took q boys of that city to Cedar
beach for a Today camp. They had
three sleeping tents, dining tent, cook
tent, kerosene stove on which to cook
the meals and one rowboat. But the
boys had a good time and got some help
Next year they went again to the same
place. The following year a smaller
crowd went to Mascoma lake in Enfield,
n. H. The next two years the party
was combined with the boys of Platts-
burg 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 Hibbard's point,
North Hero
In March, 1916, the state committee of
the Young Mems Christian associations
of Vermont, which has been conducting
the camp for the past eight years, pur-
chased site of p acres of desirable
land at the southern end of North Hero
island. Suitable buildings were erected
and the property is valued at $4,000.

it.
During all the years in which the camp
was moving from place to place it was
growing in attendance, in influence 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, IL
states and five countries.
Camp Abnaki is not camp where a
boy spends his summer vacation in idle
ness, but one in which the four sides of
life are emphasized by an active program
in each-physical, social educational, |
spiritual. 1t is camp of Christian |
ideals and Christian leadership. 1t is |
open to any honest boy who has passed |
his 18th birthday. In order to do the |
largest good for the largest number it is |
run at the low rate of So week, so boys |
from homes of moderate means may re-
ceive its help.
The state committee is very anxious |
to make another payment on the prop |
erty on March 81 when its financial year
closes. So it has decided to observe a
state wide Camp Abnaki donation 5ay,
on Thursday, March 20, and to ask for
from the people of the
state who are interested in helping the
boys. The committee earnestly asks
gifts from a great number of the people
of Vermont on that day-men, women,
boys, girls, people in all walks in life.
Any sum, no matter how small or how
large win be gratefully received and ac-
knowledged The money and checks
should be sent TO Floyd L. North, treas

On Long Island potato patriotism

by the fact that few of us have given
much thought TO the work involved in
supplying the demand for potatoes. II
is a universal food. and a necessity,
and until the scarcity occurred few
people realized that the popularity of
the most admired debutante of the sea-
son was nothing compared to that of
the potato.

centive TO greater effort in potato cul-
tivation, and our contestants are work

MIR. Seton started our potato patriot

such popular favor. He has done much
to make il so, as he is actively en-
gagged in the work and has superin-
tended the starting of patches at many
points on the island. Under our super
