Plans are being carried forth for
the entertainment Of the Fresh Air
children who will arrive in Milford
about the middle Of July, the def
mite date to be announced little
later. II is hoped by the committee,
of which Mrs. Bayard Wharton is
the chairman, that there will be
homes this year for these young
boys and girls who will so much
appreciate the opportunity of being
among real friends. They know
nothing of home in the every day
conception. Instances have been cit |
ed where one of them has asked |
where the other families were who |
lived in the rooms that make up a |
house, thus showing that the life he |
knew was lived in one room. Those
who will keep one of these Fresh
Air children for one OF two weeks,
will not have the reward in dollars
and cents, but from that something
that comes from within that gives
one the feeling of having been Cs-
peeially favored, for a blessing be-
slowed on someone else.

Camp Otonka will have the usual
corps of excellent counsellors for
the 1885 season which will be inau-
gurated on June 20. Miss Agnes
Thoms, of Wilmington, is the direc-
tor. Miss ThOms is a teacher of
physical education and seems well
fitted for her position at Camp Oton-
ka. The personnel is as follows:
Miss Sarah Leet, of Delmar, dieti-
tian; Miss Flora Oxford, of Dover,
nurse; Miss Iris Wilson, swimming
teacher; Hiss Mary Swift, of Will
nature and assistant swim
ming teacher; Miss Adele Buckwal-
ter, of Wooster, Ohio, dramatics in {
structor; Mrs. Evelyn Knapp. of ;
Lewes, arts and crafts teacher and
Miss Marion Pennington, teacher of ;
music and dancing. The first period
begins on Saturday, June 20, and is
for girls from to II. The second
period for girls in Junior High
school runs from July 20 to August I
10. The final period for girls of [
high school age extends from Au-
gust 10 to "a. The groups are classi- q
fed in order that the interests may
be the same. It will be a delightful z
vacation for any girl who chooses
Camp Otonka for two or more b
weeks.
Did you know that "The Five Cab a
in Kids" who will be the local at
traction at the Plaza Theatre this F
weekend are brothers and sisters? Ct
That was an interesting fact to
know AMI they travel with their S
mother, who perhaps has helped 81
With the training of the singing b.
which they do in their own individ- NJ
al style. There are two boys and
hree girls and they recently ap- te
cared in mississippi" a picture vi
nat starred Bing Crosby. Fine and lie
lean vaudeville makes good enter
ainment for young as well as old,
nd when it is accompanied by a Sc
'cted family picture. the weekend
rogram is well-worth while. \,
