DR.. r. E. Cooper and Carl Fisch'
er, of this city, have been appoint
ed as members of the procurement
committee for the Citizens Military
Training Camp for this district
which will be held at Fort Smelling
from July 7th to August 5th.
Here is an opportunity for ehg-
ible young men between the ages
of II and % to enjoy full months
vacation at Fort Smelling at the
Governments expense with an al
lowance of five cents per mile for
travel expense.
The object Of these camps is to
bring together young men OF high
type from all sections of the coun-
try on a common basis of equality
and under the most favorable con-
ditions of outdoor life; to stimulate
and promote citizenship, patriotism,
and Americanism; and through eN-
pert physical direction, athletic
coaching and military training, to
benefit the young men individually.
Presidents of the United States,
Governors of States, Senators and
Congressman, Public Officials,
Churchmen and charlottesville
moulders of thought and education,
both men and women throughout
the country, have all poured the
contents of their influence into
this broad stream of nationwide
approval.
The Government will provide
without cost to young men attend
ing these camps: uniforms, food,
lodging, and medical and dental at
tendance while at camp. Each can
didate should pay his own railroad
fare to camp. Upon the day he ar
rives at camp he will be reimburs-
ed at the rate of cents per mile
for the shortest usually travelled
route. Travel allowance at cents
per mile for the return journey will
be paid candidates prior to depart
ure from camp.
The training will be carried on in
infused the Citizens Military Train
ing Camps in the 7th Corps Area.
The ideal of virile American man.
hood will be strongly emphasized.
Devotion to country, good COM
radeship and teamwork" a feel
ing of democracy coupled with a
high respect for good discipline and
morale, will be, throughout, the
controlling aims.
A great aim of these camps will
be the physical well-being and de-
velopment of all who attend. Out
door games and sports will be I'M
der the direction of experts, and
every man will be taught not only
to take part but also to direct.
These camps are places to which
young men can go with the conf
dent and justified expectation of
finding the best ideals of the true
American community. Voluntary
religious services will be held on
appropriate occasions for men of
all faiths.
The parents, relatives and the
friends of young men in the camps
are particularly welcome and cor
daily invited to visit them on
week-ends. 1t is the War Depart
ment's established policy to en-
courage a closer personal interest
and an intimate knowledge Of the
real camp life afforded by such
visits.
While the Stearns county quota
has been filled every year for the
past ten years, the quota has been
filled without full representation
from Sank Centre. The young men
of Sank Centre have been missing
an opportunity to have a mighty
good time by attending one or
more of these terms.
The quota for Stearns county
this year is %. Already over half
that number have applied. Those
who wish to enter this camp should
make application at once. Many of
those who attended camp last
year and the year before are ap-
plying to attend again this year.
Application blanks and full in
formation can be obtained from
