Rotary Boys Camp Committee

Members of the Augusta Rotary
boys committee met Tuesday night at
the Y. M. c. A. building to talk with
the boys who had been mentioned as
possible guests of the club for a two
weeks outing at the State Y. NJ. c. A.
camp this summer. Firty-four boys
were interviewed during the evening
and many worthy boys were found.
Only 81 may be accepted by the Rotary
club and it appears that a number will
be disappointed unless some of the
citizens of the city desire to help. One
boy may enjoy a full week at the
camp for the sum of $40. and a week
at the camp would do many of them a
world of good.
