New Britain herald., 1921-06-16
For a weekv'

Every dollar that can be raised in this city for the children should go into this fund. The money received by The Herald Is turned over to the committee in charge, which will receive money from other sources also. All are work ing together.
 All are working together to give the children who need it so terribly a real rest in the fresh air and sunlight.
 One week is little enough. But it is better than a days excursion elsewhere.
 Every five dollars will give one child that week at the Burlington camp. Every dollar will help toward giving child that week.
 Every dollar that is donated to other causes which purport to aid the chill dren of New Britain get a vacation this summer will be diverted from the fund being arranged for to do the most good possible to the greatest number of New Britain children.
 The Hartford Courant of this morning publishes story under a heading that would mislead New Britain people if the last words of the statement under heath the heading were not read care fully and the words studied for their significance.
 That headline says:
 Camp Courant Will Take in New Britain Kids"
 After telling how the children of New Britain will "shout for joy at the an- nouncement that plans have been made to allow them to benefit by the Courant summer camp, and asking the people of New Britain to subscribe to its fund, there are found these significant words:
 "'The Courant' wants to give ONE DAY EVERY WEEK to New Britain Children"
 We, of New Britain, are asked to subscribe to the Courant fund and in re- turn the Courant will give One Day a Week to New Britain Children.
 Every dollar that is given by New Britain people to that fund will help to take from some New Britain child the chance to spend a week-a week-not one day-in the Fresh Air Camp at Burlington provided for New Britain children.
 Suppose a man or woman gave $50 to the Courant fund. Assuming that the $50 would be spent for New Britain children an assumption made because it is almost inconceivable that a news paper would dare divert New Britain money from the proper course-an un- certain number of New Britain chil- dren would be given a days excursion to the Hartford Camp.
 That would be fun for the children. They would enjoy it. They would come back tired out after such an out ing, and, it is believed, little better in bodily health than before the trip possibly not as well.
 Meanwhile ten New Britain children ten of them-would be deprived of the splendid benefits of a week in the camp provided for them by New Britain peo- pie: fin a camp under the charge of Miss Bartletts WnoSe praises as Delnb lueally fitted, for the work are being sung by all who have had the good fortune to meet her.
 The New Britain committee needs every dollar it can get.
 New Britain children need all the time they can get in the splendid place provided for them and them alone.
 Every dollar given to the New Britain fund through the Fresh Air Editor of The Herald will become a part of the five dollars that will give one more child that health bringing week in the Burlington Camp.
 l Every dollar given to the Courant fund will help to prevent some child from having that week in the camp their own camp, if that dollar would have come to the New Britain Fresh Air Camp fund, had not its donor given it elsewhere.
