Among the subscriptions 20 the
Fresh Air fund today was a dollar
bill from a woman who has means
sufficient 10 send her own child on a
vacation but wishes 10 help another
of the eity's youngsters after having
been brought into contact with some
OF tho facilities that child welfare
work In New Britain affords. Several
other contributions were received by
tho Fresh Air Editor OF the Herald"
BY the excessive heat OF the last
few days the public Is receiving a
demonstration OF the disadvantages 10
everyone through remaining In town.
Many OF us have 10. for business rea-
sons, but most OF those who are com.
pelled TO stay here may receive con-
siderable solaec by jumping into au-
tomobiles and running into the coun-
try In the cool OF the evening thus
preparing for a nights sleep. There
are some that are compelled 10 seek
diversion. such as IL Is. in the hot city
streets and the ash-cans OF the back
yards. Driven from warm houses In
10 the alleys In search OF a yagrant
breeze. which, II 1t develops at all, Is
liable to prove a none too fragrant
one, urged on by the restlessness OF
childhood to physical activity the
youngsters stub their toes on the hot
asphalt, expose their bodies to infec-
tion and disease. cut their bare feet
on the remains of a soda bottle and
suffer enormously. Poor things they
do not realize how much they suffer.
they do not know how much is being
taken out of them. Condemned to
life of the city streets they live. some-
times, or they die with the bright
spots few and far between.
One Of the best means to furnish |
a bright spot, to mark an epoch In |
the lives of these children Is close at |
hand. ready to be taken advantage |
of by every person in the city who !
has the desire to furnish little |
cheer through the expenditure of q
little money. Three hundred chill
dren will be taken from the streets
and alleys this summer TO run bare
loot and happy in the woods and
fields adjoining the two buildings
used by the Fresh Air camp In Bur-
ington,
Asphalt, unsavory breezes. ash cans
Ind bottles-excepting milk bottle in
heir proper place, the dining camp
able--will be forgotten. Childish
'rains will dream of fresh green
'rass of messy glens In the heart Of
he thickets where the WOOD thrush
heerfully carols his song of welcome,
# waterfalls along the brook where
he air is filled with spray, cool and
vet and so refreshing. Childish
'odies will thrive and grow sturdy
nder the glowing influence of whole
ONE food and pure air, of sunlight
'hich does not filter through a pail I
f smoke, of revivifying nights when :
