From country hosts.
from contributors of money.
very generous help.
one hundred and sevcnty-six con-
tributors yesterday gave more than
s2,1oo to help pay for country vaca-
tions for tots OF the city's tenements.
While their money was being counted
and their gifts listed for publication
below, invitations were pouring in
from 3s6 hosts who will take children
into their homes for fortnight vaca-
tons
There are hosts of friends every
where for Tribune Fresh Airs" One
OF yesterdays contributors signed him
self "A Well Wishing Bachelor and
sent "an old maids mite"
Another was--well, he must be a
COWBOY Judge for yourself from this
letter:
my mother takes me to a farm in
summer, where l help take care of
thlrty-six cows and go out in the hay
neid with the men. In the winter
live in New York and want some other
little boy to go to farm, too
WILLARD NEWELL WOODWARD"
Wouldn't it be fine for the Riddles
of the tenements if an. Y" were over
run with junior cowboys of this kind Z?
Wouldn't there be JOY in the tenements
IT every boy-or girl--whose mother
will take him-or her--to a farm this
summer could be represented on an
other farm somewhere by a Tribune
Fresh Air.?
Doubles 1921 Contribution
And wouldn't those represented bovs
and girls and their mothers and fathers
who sent the money for them get a
lot more pleasure out of their vaca-
tions, too? 1t works that way-one of
Thursdays contributors says so. He
writes:
Fortune having favored me little
more this year than last, l know of
no better way to show appreciation or
gratitude, nor of doubling the pleas
ure and happiness it gave me in 1921
when l gave my mite--than by
doubling my contribution to make the
'fellers' happy in 1922 So I'm inclos-
ing herein my check for SIP I'm go
ing to get much more pleasure out of
knowing that sixteen of them, instead
of just eight, are happy because I was
able to make them so. And the enjoy
ment of my own vacation in conse-
quence will, Pm quite sure, be in
creased at least 'sixteenfold So
must and do consider it splendid in
vestment
You're doing noble work, which, I
hope, will grow bigger as the years
grow more numerous. Sincerely yours,
FRANK w. STRUVY."
Three States Give to Fund
Yesfordou's tovif,t;ooa ,o,,,o
pally from three widely separated
ocalities-M ontpelier, VT; Elmira, N.
Y, and Somerville, N. j.
The first to arrive were one hundred
from Somerville. Last year Somerville
folks-real folks-entertained between
forty and fifty Fresh Airs" as an cx-
pertinent. Evidently the elements com
bined properly and reacted favorably,
for this years list of hosts is twice as
long. The party will be sent July 10.
Next came list of eightyfve invi-
Vermont capitals first endeavor as a
Fresh Air" host, at least for many,
many years. But Vermont is always
a hospitable host to the Tribune chill
dren--a statement proved by the fact
that next week $50 boys and girls will
be received in other villages of the
state. Montpelier's party starts July
10.
Then came preliminary list of 1879
invitations from Elmira N. Y, where
the Kiwanis Club is working for the
Fresh Airs" There will be a mate
rial addition to this list before the
children leave.
July 10 looks like big day for the
children. In addition to the parties for
Montpelier and Elmira big parties will
be sent to Geneva, N. Y, and Burling
ton, VT. The days total of outgoing
children should exceed 600.
More Than 1900 Go Next Week
Next weeks total Of youngsters to
be sent away to begin vacations al
ready exceeds 1900. 1t looks as if the
Funds plan to get $4,000 kiddes out of
the tenements for pleasant fortnghts
this summer will prove a complete
success.
Who will help to make these children
happy, help to give them chance for
health 1t costs about 81 to make sure
the opportunity for one child. Can you
afford that? If you can't send less as
your contribution to the Fund If you've
lots Of money-compared with the
children of the tenements-send more.
Whatever you plan to give, give it
to-day.
