Splendid Site Is
Chosen For Y Camp

Down on the Big Miami river
near Miamisburg is place where
bridge used to be. The flood of
1918 swept the bridge away, and it
has not been rebuilt, but that just
makes it all the better, say the
people who want to camp in the
beautiful Miami Valley Chatauqua
grounds 1t SENS so much more
Robinson Crusoe-like to have to
ferry across to the camping
grounds. The grounds and all the
Accommodations are ideal. 1t is
wilder than the Glen in it's natural
beauty, which every boy agrees is
something a good camping place
must have. There are twelve
steel boats, swimming and diving
pier, and what is every bit as i'm
p0rtant, there is a great dining
room that will seat 200 hungry boys
and big kitchen These last two
"havens Of delight" will be the do
main OF William /. Comfort, who
has been cook and baker In the
navy. With such a cook, the boys
can feel that the success Of their
camp is assured.
The camp will be from June r.
81, and will be enjoyed by the boys
OF all the various Boy Scout troops
of Richmond and the boys who are
members OF the Boys department
OF the Y. M. G. A. with their Scout
masters and Mr. Brunson and Mr..
Harding Of the local "Y." About
fifty boys are expected to be in the
camp.
It Is very sincerely hoped that
autos will be donated by big
brothers," friends Of the boys who
are interested in them and their
camp, for hauling the boys down
to camp and back, which will result
in a saving Of three dollars for
each boy
A very interesting and varied
program is being planned for the
camp. Swimming, campfire enter
hikes, scout craft, and
many forms of athletics, as well
as Bible study, campfire programs |
and morning dcvotions will form
part of each day.
They are planning to have a real
camp bugler, too. But boys in |
camp never dislike the bugler, for
what boy on a ten-day camp in the |
woods ever was heard to sing, Il
hate to get up in the morning?"

Vacation

This is the day, the glorious day,
We hail with acclamation,
For now we'll run and romp and
play,
Through all the long vacation.
All! won't we have jolly time,
When free from recitation!
We know there's nothing quite so
prime
AS summertime vacation.
And won't the folks at home feel
blue,
When comes this immigration,
This romping, rattling, noisy crew,
To stay the long vacation!
The teachers, too, will need a rest,
When free from botheration;
Our conduct hasn't been the best,
Which makes them want vaca-
ton.
We will be free from anxious care,
From worry and vexation;
No tasks we'll have, no froWns
we'll wear,
But smile through all vacation.
Our school days soon will have
an end;
And then in life's vocation,
With busy care our time Wen
spend,
And seldom have vacation.

THE FLAG GOES eY.

Hats OH!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles a ruffle Of drums,
A fash of color beneath the sky.
Hats off!
The flag is passing by.
Blue and crimson and white 1t
shines
Over the steel tipped, ordered lines,
Hats off!
The colors before us fly!
But more than the flag is passing
by.
Sea fights and land fights, grim
and great,
Fought to make and save the state,
Cheers of victory on dying lips;
Sign Of a nation great and strong.
To ward her people from foreign
wrong:
Pride and glory and honor all.
Live in the colors to stand or fall.
Hats of!
Along the streets there comes
A blare OF bugles, a ruffle Of drums,
