WORK FOR SUMMER
OUTINGS UNDER WAY
Camp Good Will and Camp Pleas
ant Are Being Prepared
for Season.
POOL FUND INADEQUATE
Associated Charities Committee
Announces Improvements.

Following a meeting of the sum-
| mer outings committee of the Asso-
ciated Charities held last week, work
has been started to prepare Camp
/ Good Will and Camp Pleasant for
opening the first week in July.
The committee has had a caretaker
on the grounds at Camp Good will all
winter clearing away underbrush,
painting the tent floors, working on
the roads and otherwise improving
this new site. Last fall the committee
bought portable shack. which was
fitted up for the winter use of the
caretaker, and which also will serve
as headquarters of the boy workers
during the camp season.
The committee has in hand $500,
which was collected last season for
the building of a swimming pool at
Camp Good Will, The sum was found
not to be sufficient to do the work
and it is hoped that special contribu-
tions may be made to supplement the
amount so the pool may be built be-
fore camp opens. Estimates will be
called for this week to cover plans
and specifications, which have been
drawn.
Modern LavatorieH-
At Camp Pleasant it is going to be
possible this year for the first time to
have modern lavatory facilities, due to
sewer connections which were built and
donated for the use of the camp. This
will be a much-needed improvement in
the way of sanitation, and will give
added security to the camp against
possible sickness.
Although no appeal for funds has as
yet been issued by the committee, sew
eral hundred dollars in contributions
have been received in anticipation of
the summers work. Among these has
been a gift of S35 made by "A Crowd
of Sewing Ladies'" eight in number
with which to name tent for the 1924
season. In addition, these women have
this past week sent a further contribu-
ton of s2o with which to supply milk
and ice for the benefit of the occupants
of the tent during the summer. The
officers of the summer outings commit
tee remain as last year.
The chairman is John Joy Edison. who
has served in this capacity since the or
ganization of the committee in 1908
The vice chairman is John II. Clapp and
the treasurer is Harry G.. Meem. Head
quarters of the committee is at the new
