The largest single party sent out

Somerville began its Fresh Air enter

about twenty-five children. The folks
there liked the first lot of youngsters

Most of the children to be sent out
to-day will be girls to fill up for the
second time this summer five of the
Funds vacation camps. In addition tt
these, however, there will be parties
sent out for vacations in private homes
in Yardley Pa; Windsor, VI, and At

Yesterdays contributors to the Fund
were generous again, 153 friends OF
children adding over $1,000 to the
summers vacation fund. This figure
does not include the S400 given tc
endow the Vacations in Perpetuity
mentioned above.
Fund Loses Good Friend
The Fund lost good friend of many
years. standing day before yesterday
through the death of Arthur B. EN-
mons. Each summer his gift for the
children was among the earliest anc
most generous to be received. His
was received only few days before
his death. Many children who have
been made happy through Tribune va
cations owe their happiness to him.
Next week the Fresh Air campaign
continues in full swing. 1t gets q
rather slow start on Monday with only
eighty-two children going out to the
country. but by Tuesday will have
gathered momentum enough to carry
about 500 boys and girls far from the
hot streets of the city between sunrise
and sunset.
The Fund needs money and more
money and still more money to pay toi
all these vacations. Its nset foi
this summer is 100000. y! TINS just
a little more than one-third has been
contributed to date. And this has
been made up by only 2,22S friends OF
little children. Think of all the folks
in New York City who haven't done
vet what they could easily 90, and be
the happier for doing.
