The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1925-05-14

AS June approaches We are re-
minded that very soon the boys and
girls club encampment will be upon
US. Few people realize just what this
week spent at Pullman can mean to
the boys and girls who attend it. Ben
ton county has at this time 1919 men,
bers enrolled in boys and girls club
work. They are distributed over the
county in the following manner: Fin
ley 81, Kennewick 81, Prosser so,
Hanford 10, Hover 8, Horse Heaven
8, White Bluffs 5. These are divided
into "a clubs in the following pro-
jects: calf, / canning. / sheep,
pig, 2 corn, garden, cooking, 8
sewing. Of these "a only four are not
standard clubs; that is have not FIVE
members.
This year plans have been made a
little different than in previous years.
AT the same time that the club camp
is in session, the farm men and wom-
en- of Washington are to be enter
tanned at the state college. The coun-
ties have been allotted their quota
of representatives for the club camp,
for the leaders conference and for
the farm men and womens camp. Ben
ton county's portion will be II club
members, three club leaders, a farm
men and three farm women. Splendid
rates which will be within the reach
of all have been made to take care of
the transportation and meals while at
Pullman. Lodging will be furnished
without cost but all toilet articles
and bedding must be brot from home.
Men and women wishing to take adj
vantage of this opportunity to visit
the state college and spend a week
of delightful entertainment there,
should get in touch with the county
club agent as soon as possible.
! Since we have to limit our dele
CATION Of club members to II this
year we will have to select members
from these clubs that are doing the
best work, and showing the greatest
interest in these projects and club
work. as a whole. Members are Sc
lected by the club sending them with
the advise of their leader. In select
ing delegates they are asked to con-
slider the following points: Is he
or she live wire in the club, do they
attend meetings and try to keep the
club doing its best work, will they
come back and continue to do so or
as the fun is over will they drop out;
will they accept the training they re-
ceive while at Pullman as club lead
ership training and come back pre-
pared to pass on the other members
at least a portion of what they have
learned? To be delegate the men,
Der must be at least 13 years old and
in good physical condition. No one
with colds or in weakened condition
will be considered. It is too much of a
responsibility to try to take care of
real young or physically unfit child
rem. Since one of the purposes of
club work is to promote better health,
this is one place where it can be done.
Competent chaperOnes are furnished
but the members themselves must
be responsible children.
Each member will furnish his own
bedding and toilet articles. Girls are
asked to bring only simple cotton
dresses and boys should bring over
ais for their project work. The club
uniform is fine for the girls but not
required. Those attending must adj
vance SIP to the county office by
June 6. This is the total cost for
the entire trip. Tickets for the spe-
cial train will be furnished to both
members and adults thru this office.
Each club of five members that is
working may send delegate. The
money may be furnished as the club
sees fit. The club may earn it in
whole or part or the member may
