SUMMER OUTINGS
FUNDS TO Be ASKED
Associated Charities Urges
Support for Camps Good
Will and Pleasant.

On the eve of the annual formal APP
peal for funds to finance Camp Good
Will and Camp Pleasant, where sum-
mer outings are furnished underprlv-
ileged mothers and children of the
Capital the summer outings commit
tee of the Associated Charities in
statement last night directed the at
tentlon of the city to this movement
and urged unstinted support.
Thousands of letters will be sent to
Westinghouse tomorrow in further
ance of the appeal, by John JOY Ed
son, chairman of the committee.
while planning your own vacation,
viii you not somehow manage to In
clude an outing for those children and
their mothers who without such help
must stay in the city all summer
he says.
Good VIII Opens June 30.
"camp Good VIII. which is to have
its formal opening on Wednesday,
June 29, will be in charge of Miss
Anita Marburg, a trained social work
er and VasSar graduate, who has had
much experience with children's
camps, and assisted by Miss Grace
D. Coleman and a carefully selected
staff of helpers" the committee says.
Miss Coleman was with this camp in
1925. This season the playground is
being further developed for the use
of the children and one new improve
ment OF the camp is a complete cleo
tric eouipnent for the women's build
ing. this being the gift of the kiwanis
Club.
Camp Pleasant is to open on Tues
day, June 2S, and will be again as in
several previous years in charge OF
Mrs. Laura B. Glenn and staff of eX-
perienced camp helpers. Here the
committee has had the problem of
building a new dining room and
kitchen to take the place of the old
one destroyed last Fail by fire. The
new building will furnish more COM
modious and additional conveniences
for the workers.
Expect Greater Demand.
'These two camps provided no less
than 1918 individual outings during
last Summers season, 662 of which
were given at Camp Good VIII and
551 at Camp Pleasant. 1t is ex.
pected that even a larger number of
campers can be entertained during
the coming season. But this can be
done only if the funds are forthcom-
ing in response to the committees
appeal.
''The treasurer of the committee is
Harry G.. Meem, to whom contribu-
tons may be sent at the headquar-
tiers, the Social Service House, 1922

I'm accordance with the committees
custom of previous years any person
or groups may name tent at either
camp by giving SIS. Already this
season in advance of the annual APP
peal seven tents have been thus
designated, as follows: At Camp Good
Will, the Juanita K. Nye tent named

The Heartbreaker

OF all the bores who make hearts
bleed. methinks the worst one is the
bard who corners you and starts to
read his latest epic, by the yard. The
worthwhile poet never dreams of
reading manuscripts TO friends; he
knows if he pursues such schemes the
most devoted friendship ends. He
doesn't talk about his art-such talk
will make a crowd dispense: he knows
the dearest friends must part when
one of them starts reading verse. The
poet with the manuscript who makes
himself a bowling pest is not by any
chance equipped TO soothe the hearers
savage breast. His lines are always
out OF plumb, his thoughts are ancient
and decayed, and when you see this
poet come, your heart is daunted and
dismayed. Perhaps you greet him
with a frown and quote engagements
one by one, and yet you do not turn
him down, but sadly listen till he's
done. For he is such a friendly soul.
60 whom the Tyres the one best bet,
you hearken to his rigmarole and wipe
away the clammy sweat. You'd BAN
ish any other bore without a symptom
of remorse; you'd hustle from your
cottage door the dreary gent you don't
indorse. But here is one so free from
guile, so far from worldly snares and
tricks, you even cultivate a smile as
he drones on, untired. proliX. His die
ton, like his verse, is poor, but love
of beauty's in his song, and so you
suffer and endure--and hide when
next he comes along.
