GREAT SUCCESS IN
SUMMER DAYS

The Y. W. C. A. camp in the noun
tains has proven to be one of the most
popular of the nearby summer resorts
this season and the management has
decided to hold it open for another
week for the accommodation of valley
people who have formed the custom OF
spending the weekend up there. Mrs
Clyde Larey, who has been in charge
since Mrs. Phelps left August !, states
that numbers have been there over Sun
day during the entire summer and that
the camp has been most enjoyable foi
her as well as for others.
The Sunday dinner served at the re
sort has been famed far and near and
the other attractions have likewise made
strong appeal. The y. w. board believe
that in establishing this camp, primari-
ly for girls, they have built better than
they knew, and that it will be boon
to valley women and children through
out the years to come. Men, too, have
enjoyed the camp as week end resort.
