 All day Wednesday will be given over to the play, golfers may shoot their eighteen holes any time they choose although starters will be pres ent to prevent any crowding of the course at the hours that are liable to be most popular.

HUMID WEATHER MAKES
 CAMP MORE DESIRABLE
Youngsters at Burlington Saved From Torments
 of Heat
CONTRIBUTIONS TO FUND
 FOR FRESH AIR CAMP.

How would you like to be a needy New Britain youngster, whose body was frail and whose mind, deserving nothing to look forward to in the shape of a vacation. these hot days ? How would you like to face the pros- pect of hot summer, a cold winter, another hot summer and so forth as far ahead as you could see, with no break in the routine prospective. no happiness to remove some of the taint from the monotony of existence :? It would not be very encouraging would it. In your memory proba bly, live cool scenes at seashore and in the mountains, against your discom- fort now weighs the expectation Of relief that will soon come. The mere knowledge of the heat at home will be a laughing matter as soon as you reach your favorite mid summer haunt, and you know it as you swelter here.
 There are many who have nothing but the bleakest of prospects for the summer, who will be forced into the streets and alleys for such pleasures a s may be obtained in those spots, who will live with the heat, the flies and other things attendant upon a needy condition, and whose bodies, in ad- dition, are none too capable of with standing the strain. Some of these may be lifted from the depths of monotony, from the absolute invaria- blity of life and transported to what will be to them the seventh heaven of delight. Three hundred of them, New Britain people being willing, will be so transported during the summer by being given a two weeks vacation at the Fresh Air Camp in Burlington. Three hundred childish bodies will be rebuilt, three hundred youthful minds, just as susceptible to impressions and probably far less eXpectant of any re- lief than yours, will be given a bright spot to relieve the monotony, some thing that may be looked back upon for more than two weeks. providing the people of the city of New Britain are willing. That willingness to aid those who need 1t may be demonstrat- ed by making a contribution 10 the Fresh Air Fund that is being collected through this paper. Many New Brit ain people have already done so, there is need Of still more so that the maxi m um number may be afforded the va cation? Will you help?
