News-While Clayton was calm,
Betterton doomed. Forty-four
boys and girls of Clayton School,
with their four club leaders, spent
the week, from June 16 to %,
camping at Betterton, Md The
time was happily spent in swim
ming, bathing, boating, bowling,
grabbing, fishing, hiking, ETC. Two
row boats were rented for the full
time, so each child had opportun-
ity for much rowing. The bowling
alley was rented Tuesday evening
for their use, so that all who wish
ed could bowl to their hearts con-
tent from $50 to $50 p. m. Thurs
day evening the group went by bus
TO Chestertown and enjoyed the
picture THE Sign of the Cross"
Forty-four attended Sunday School
on Sunday morning; forty-two
worshipping at the Methodist
Episcopal Church and two at the
Catholic Church. Many new ac-
quaintances were formed, some of
which developed into friendships.
We are now cherishing pleasant
memories and enjoying the hope of
returning for another season next
year. Many parents have spoken
appreciation of the leadership and

On Saturday our boys met de-
feat at the hands of our neighbor-
ing town, Kenton, the score being
4 TO 8. This defeat dropped Clay
ton to second place in the League,
standing Greensboro now being the
leaders. The game was close
throughout and victory for Kenton
was not sure until the last man
was out. Clayton's star third
baseman, Harrington, suffered a
severe injury, when hit by a pitch
ed ball, thrown by Pleasanton,
Kenton pitcher. He was taken to
Dover hospital and had several
stitches taken in his inside jaw.
We hope to see him back soon. On
