FRESH AIR FUND HAS
 707ALLED OVER $4,000
Summer Vacations for 300 Children Are Thus Pro-
 vided by Public

| Pleasing results have been obtain
 ed in the effort to raise about S4.000 | for the Fresh Air camp at Burling ton this summer, the amount having gone well over the top today. The camp was instituted several years ago
 beginning in a very small way. At that time a cottage on the Cherry
 Park road in Unionville, was rented and children who appeared in need of a vacation were taken to the cot tage for the day. The idea took hold torcibly and steps were taken to build up a plant where number of young sters, whose physical condition was such as to really demand an outing, could be accommodated for two weeks at time. The city arranged for the use of property and houses on land that has been purchased to be used for watershed at a later date. A finance committee took hold of the work and raised the funds. The Her aid has aided in this, making an ap- peal to New Britain people for dona- tions. an appeal which has been well answered. This year there will be at
 least 300 local children given a vaca- ton of two weeks at the farm, thanks to kindly donors to the fund. The eventual benefits to New Britain, through the building up of health in the bodies of the children cannot be estimated.
 Several days ago the fund for this year stood at $353733; today there is added S750 which the Woman's club raised at a civic tea last spring and s52 which has been given to the treasurer, making the total s42s7,3S for this years work. There will be an addition to this amount when the Rotary club completes its canvas. With a few other outstanding ac- counts" not yet turned in it will not be surprising should the ultimate to- tai be S4,500.
 Although the sum originally sought was S4,000 the committee had plan ned to create a small deficit to carry over 10 next year. Approximately s1,1oO was spent in permanent equip ment for the camp, part of which was to be charged off against next year There will be no need of doing this, however, if the full s4,500 is raised and next years camp will be run with funds collected then. II will he possible to take care of many more children next year, if the same amount Is raised, or a less amount will be needed
 New Britain has reason to be proud of itself for its considerate treatment of the really deserving and really needy little ones of the town.
