JEFF SMITH

Boys, It's a rare opportunity, one
that no enterprising youth should
MISS" and Uncle Jeff Smith, dynamic
leader of the Y. NJ. C. A movement
in Maine, tramped off at a great pace
Wednesday afternoon at the State Y.
NJ c. A camp on the west shore of
Lake Cobbossee with about Is boys of
all ages trooping along behind him,
we'll knowing that anything he wanted
was all right and that after the proper
amount of suspense Jeff would tell
them what he desired them to do.
Aud sure enough but few minutes
later a big span of gray horses, at
tached to a dump cart which had been
loaded by the boys with rubbish from
about the camp, drove up to the camp
dump with the State 7. NJ. c. A. Sec
rotary esconced upon the seat in all
the dignity of his golf suit and straw
hat. Jeff Is no mean horseman, as
was evidenced by the way in which he
backed that team around and unloaded.
and while he was doing this the boys
who had responded to his call for as
sistance without knowing what there
was to do, were again back at their
sport on the tennis courts and the ball
fields, where they had dropped their
raquets and gloves to follow Uncle
Jeff
That is a sample Of the way in
which they will follow their beloved
leader. no matter where he goes or
what he asks of them, and when Jeff
gets right down friendly with any boy,
and he does with all of them, they GER
tainly do cotton to him.
Able Corps Assistants
While jeff is the handspring of the
camp which is now in it's first week
of six weeks season, he has a COM
petent collection of young fellows to
assist him in handling the over 100
lively youngsters who are now at the
camp, and double that number that
will be at the camp every week for
the rest of the season. Every member
of the faculty" Of the camp is ex-
perienced in handling the younger
boys and knows just what be should
do and how he should do it.
Kenneth J. Smith, son of Jeff Smith
and director of aquatics, is in charge
of some of the most important work at
the camp Il is the aim and ambition
of Mr.. Smith and, in fact, of all the
members Of the faculty, to send every

boy away from the camp able to take
care of himself in the water and to
qualify several of them as junior life
savers. At the opening of camp the
boys who cannot swim are called upon
to stand up in the dining hall at one
of the meals and they are asked when
they will be able to swim. Each
promises that he will be able to navi-
gate in the water by a certain date,
and on that date the ones who have
learned are given a big hand by the
others, while those who still stand
shivering in Shallow water are urged
to dig in" and become fishes.
At the club period which comes
after the camp and lodge duties have
been attended 10 in the morning, the
beginners are given special period
of instruction where they can attend
wholly to the duty at hand and not
be bothered by those who are more
at home in the water.
Careful Supervision
When the entire gang" goes in at
II in the forenoon and $50 in the
afternoon the life savers group,
composed of the members of the
faculty and some of the boys who
have qualified as life savers. are
stationed everywhere ABOUT tne
swimming place to watch the others
and see that no one gets into diff
hculties. Ken Smith from his posi-
ton on the lifesavers tower watches
them with an eagle eye, while the
others from boats. the diving float
and the other floats are ever ready
to handle any possible emergency. Not
until all of the boys have left the
lake do the life savers even wet their
suits, this guaranteeing that they are
on their job every minute of the time.
The camp program is one that
combines the proper amount of WORK
with plenty of wholesome recreation

been stolen throughout the State, w.
P. Hargon, Indiana Federation Of
Humane Societies president, today
moved to break up a ring Of dog
thieves he said is operating.
Identity of two dog thieves at
will be arrested, Hargon said.
Other Indiana cities where dogs
have been reported stolen are Mobiles

few days ago Indianapolis dogs were
being enticed into a truck through a
meat bait and borne to other climes.
"The Humane Society will demand
that sheriffs of number Of counties

Arrangements have been com

owners of missing dogs to scan the
new arrivals in the vivisection ken

are included, according to Hargon.
Hargon said the society Is under
taking Statewide campaign
against the practice Of vivsection,
which he describes as "cruel. in

mans best friends"
But it's principally the weak,
scrawny, mongrels that are sold for
vivisection purposes, Hargon as4
