CAMP PALMER
 STILL CROWDED
Peak, Enrolment PrOn1' ised for Camps Third
 Week Period

The third period of Camp Palmer's eightsweek season begins Saturday with the enrolment still at the record peak of 106. A factor worthy of note in this periods registration is that approximately half of the boys who have been camping for the past two weeks will remain for the coming period. Twenty ap. piicationS for the third period had to be rejected because of the ca. pacity registration of the popular summer camp for Catholic boys on the Housatoflic. It is only a matter of time before Camp Palmer will have to expand to accommodate the influx of campers and would-be campers from throughout the state and bordering states.
 Wednesday night the campers and their relatives and friends enjoyed @ campfire program under the direc. ton of Frank Wiring. The high. light of the entertainment was c skit portraying the trials of the directors with the new campers and their over-solicitouS parents. Director Johnny Braslin took the part of the indulgent father and Tommy Breen played the wiSe- cracking son. Sunday morning at 8:30 mass will be celebrated in the chapel. Mrs. Jeremiah Mccarthy of Derby and her junior choir will provide ap- propriate music. The camp is lock- ing forward with anticipation to Mrs. McCarthy'S annual recital which will Do held in the lest week of August.
 The inc program Camp Palmer provides keeps the boys out of mis- chief and occupies their minds with worthwhile activities building both their minds and their bodies. The best testimony of the camps suc- cess in it's aims is its increased pop- ularity and It's necessary enlarge ment.
