Boost Grandvew
 For Summer Camp Site

Ever since the Y. W. c. A. had its first summer camp at Grandview the very word has been sufficient to re mind many people, both, younger and older, of this delightful spot P or lS miles out of Montgomery Because of the rustic beauty of this spot and be cause it adapts itself so well to a girls camp, the Y. W. C. A. has long wished mat 1t eoald afford to buy one of the three summer homes at Grandviexr- each of which has been used for sum- mer camp at least one season. But so far this wish has been only a dream.
 Last summer the Pilot club, realizing the great need of a permanent camp for girls, bought one of the summer homes generally known as the Barnett prop erty. They purchased this place with the understanding that the \. W C. A. would manage the camp just as 1t has in years past Before the Pilots purchased the property they asked Mir. Cramton to serve as their chief coun- selor, as it were, and to advise them in the matter. So MT. and Mrs Cram ton drove out to Grandview.
 In the year that has passed since then, they have made numerous trips, and to them came a vision of the Grandview that might be. They considered Grandview a splendid loca- tion for a girls camp-not a camp to accommodate a few girls-but a camp that will mean to the girls what Camp Rotary means to the boys. MT. and Mrs. Cramton know the great benefits of camp life and they want Montgom- cry girls to have a camp of which Montgomery will be proud and which will be large enough to care for J0-75 girls each week.
 Pilot lodge was quite sufficient last year but it is large enough to accom- modate only 25 girls. Realizing this situation, MT. and Mrs. Cramton made an investigation as to what could be done. As result, they purchased the Rushton property which Mrs. Cramton presented to the '. W. c. A. to be used in con&ection with Pilot lodge for camp for girls.
 It really seems too good to be true, yet it is absolutely true. It is just another manifestation of the wonderful spirit which MT. and Mrs. Cramton have, another indication of the fact that they are spending their lives do- ing things that will make other people happy, and this gift is one that is des- tined to bring great happiness to many, many girls for years to come.
 It has been decided that the Rush. ton house will be known in the future as "Rosina Cramton hall," named for Mrs. Cramton.
 People are wondering just what the connection is to be between Pilot lodge and Rosina hall. Both buildings will be used under the same management forming one large camp. It simply means that this is a wonderful oppor- tunity for a great enlargement of the camp which the Pilots started last year.

into real hobbies and there are the cheap and absorbing hobbies for many of us. They can take great deal of our time, for becoming really proficient at a sport demands a great deal of work and concentration. It is not per haps, particularly stimulating to. the brain, but it is undoubtedly healthful and great deal of fun. Fencing, ten his, golf and riding can all end by talk ing great deal of ones time. In fact. I know certain women who are taken away from their homes by their love of tournaments.
 Sports, art, business, science-it doesn't much matter. What does mat ter is the having of hobby to ride. If you haven't, my advice is-get one.
