CITIzENS' MILITARY TRALNING CAMP


Enrolment for the 1923 Citizens Military Train
ing Camps is now under way.
Parents Of boys between the ages of II and 21
years should give more than passing thought to the
opportunity offered by these camps First of all they
should realize that attendance at a camp in no way
makes youth liable to military duty in time of emer-
gency at least not until such time as he has been COM
mlssloned in the officers corps That is not
attained until be has attended camp for four years.
Nor does the camp cost anything. The govern
ment pays transportation to and from the camp and
maintains the student while he is in attendance.
Unquestionably the greatest opportunity offered
by the camp is that it teaches youth the need of dis
ciplne selfreiance and obedience. 1t also develops
the manly traits which distinguish the boy who will
amount to something from the boy who is not going
anywhere and never will get anywhere
True, the training camp teaches the fundamentals
OF military training That is its chief objective, so
that the nation may have experienced for leaders
IN time Of emergency, but this be construed as
mhltarism by the most fanatcal pacifst if he is
at all far-mnded.
The finest youth of the country attend these
camps 1t is not place for idlers, shrkers lounge
LIZARDS or the 'sheik". There is no fine line drawn
for the youth who is clean honest and ambitious Be

Suddenly the air grew very warm as
on the hottest summer day. There
was a bigger cloud of black smo;e
from the volcano chimney and red
fire was seen.

here said Uncle Wiggily. 1

ion of Nesuvius! -
Quickly the bunnies jumped into
their airship and the toy balloons
that had become soft and flabby
because some of the gas in them had
leaked out, now swolled up fat and
pump again and began to lift the
clothes basket. For the heat made
the gas in the balloons puff out
new and fresh.
Here we go! y cried Uncle Wig
gily, helping Bunty and Vallie into
he basket. Up it shot into the air.
At the same time the wind began
to blow from the south. Looking
down, the bunny girls saw great
mass of lava, or red hot melted
rock pouring out of NesuviuS and
sliding down the side of the big
bill like spreading molasses.
