: Claude w. Owen. on behalf of his
: fellow kiwanians, officially turned
over to John Joy Edison, chairman
OF the summer outings committee
of the Associated Charities, yester-
day afternoon the two new build
ings given Camp Good Will by XII
wants.
William Mather Lewis, president
elect of George Washington Univer-
sity, paid tribute to those responsible
for the camp.
by giving these little folks a
square deal you are conserving the
future social, business and industrial
life of your CITY," he said.
"Not a Charity
such work is as essential to the
welfare of a community as the public
schools, and cannot be claSSed as
charity, unless we choose to refer
10 our great educational institu-
tions in the same terms"
Mr.. Edison outlined the work of
the committee he represents and re-
called many interesting events dur
ing the twenty years life of Camp
Good Will
I'VE have weathered adversely with
our faces in the light" said the vener-
able civic worker, for we knew we were
doing good for the whole community.
Financially we are strong. In fact, we
have never really worried much over
money, for knowing back of our ef-
forts was the sanction of Him who
loved the underprivileged. Some
times I only wish that the entire list
of those who contribute to our move
ment could be published in full. Some
with pennies, some with dimes and
color, creed and class will be found
on the roster. and this is as it should
be. 1t has been my idea for long
time, in fact, to limit all donations
to five dollars, because in that way
We would show the support of the
entire community"
He paid tribute to the activities
of William S. Ufford executive secre-
tary of the Associated Charities.
