THE BEST KIND OF VACATION

Anyone can get away from the
G-Men; they re a lot of sisSies." A
group of boys were discussing the
capture Of public enemy by govern
ment agents, and their sympathles
were with the criminal. What could
be done to help them? Out of the
need came a camp for boys and girls
who are under-privileged These
camps were held last summer, and
during the boys week twenty-tW
boys showed clearly that they were
sorry for the way they had lived,
and accepted Christ as their Saviour.
For years l had read about the
Christian conferences / was to sam
pie last summer, but never dreamel
l would attend one. But God plan
ned l should! Three closed doors
stood between me and the promised
blessing: finances, family approval,
inexperisnce in travelling" All these
obstacles were overcome, and the
writer goes On to tell of the happy
and profitable time she had at a
Christian conference.
These are glimp5es of seven ar
ticles in the special Camp and Con-
ference Number of The Sunday
School Times (Philadelphia) for May
13, giving the personal testimonies
of those who attended camps and
conferences last summer. A large
number of these have been establish
ed during recent years all over the
United States, and The Sunday
School Times asked its readers to
tell their experiences in such CEN
ters of Christian fellowship. Over
forty articles were received, and the
best of these were chosen for pub
lication in the Camp and Conference
Number. This issue will also contain
information about some twenty
camps and conferences, and COPY
of this may Ee had without charge
from The Sunday School Times Com
pany, Box 1850, Philadelphia, Penn.
The great value Of Christian camps
and Bible conferences lies in the
fact that they give ample oppor-
tunity for wholesale recreation out
of-doors with people of like mind,
and provide nourishment for the
soul and spirit which is so sadly
needed in this helter-skelter machine
age. There are happy times of chorus
and hymn singing, Bible study, mis-
slonary messaFe; from many lands,
and meetings for personal testimony
as well as swimming, boating, ma
ture study, hiking, mountain climb
ing, and games and sports of many
kinds. Here are a few more SEN
tences taken from le articles in the
Times:
1T was nv great privilege to at
tend conference last August. II
7ould seem difficult to enhance the
Dleasure and blessing of such a con-
ference"
"At the final Say-So session
around the campfire l determined
God helping re, to study faithfully
each day t1o Book which had be-
come unspeakably precious to ms
during the tbrce-a-day meditations
upon the island"
"At this c"mD we have plenty NJ
recreation, plenty of good food. and
best of all, plenty of teaching from
Gods precious Word Our mair
Bible class is held each morning. anc
notebooks are kept, to be handed If
and grades are given. Afternoons art
given over to rest, swimming. an,
other recreation. After supper we gt
down to the beach for a sing o
camp songs md choruses."
II thank God for this Biblc-cen
tered conference which has revealet
to me the means of continual victor,
in my life"

In the Sir Waiter iiOlei

Raleigh, May 13.-The advertising
division oil the Departmet of Con-
servauon and Development IS re-
celving daily from the North Caro-
lima exhibit at the New York Worlds
Fair, hundred OF registration cards
filled out at the Tar Heel booth in
Tie big city.
On these cards are listed the
things in North Carolina in which the
registrants are interested.
By far the largest single group is
that which wants to know about the
State as a place in which to spend
vacation; and a surprisingly large
number of these asked specifically
for information about our State parks.
. In view Of this interest among out.
siders, it is safe to assume that there
is also more than a little interest
IN State parks among citizens of
North Carolina; and it is also fairly
safe to assume that many of them do
not know what State parks we have
and where they are.
For that reason, this column will
today be devoted to giving a brief
bit of information about each of
the seven state parks, all of which
have been established to preserve
areas of outstanding natural beauty
OF scientific or historical interest,
and to provide for recreational needs.

House Vote May Decide
Census BuiIdinq Fate

The fate of the $3,500,000 project
in the first deficiency bill for new
Census Bureau building In WASH
ington may be decided this week
when the House takes second vote
on the proposal.
The House originated the item,
and the Senate eliminated it, but in
conference yesterday the House con-
ferees declined to yield. This sends
1t back to the House for further in
structions.
The same situation exists regard
ing two items the Senate added to
the bill, namely: For control of
grasshoppers in farming regions,
$4,688. TOO; for forest service work in
the New England hurricane area,
$4,000, 900. The House will take sep
arate votes on these amounts also.
Acceptance by the House of the
Senate changes would definitely
eliminate the census building. II
the House votes not to recede, the
three items would 60 back to con-
ference, with the likelihood of q
compromise being reached.
The conferees agreed yesterday on
Senate amendments adding $1,000.
600 to the Social Security appropria.
ton, to aid the States in administer.
ing unemployment compensation,

'"The national anthem was written

When Francis Scott Key wrote THE

Need Seen 10 increase
Officers Reserve Corps
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee made public yesterday testi-
mony from Col. Stephen A. Park of
Milwaukee that the Officers Reserve
Corps was far below the size needed
should national emergency arise.
The record of committee hearings
disclosed that Col. Park. president
of the Reserve officers Association,
testified the present strength of the
corps was 110,116 and said the War
Department estimated the minimum
should be 10000.
Col. Park said death, physical dis
ability and pressure of civilian oc-
cupations" were major reasons for
officers of World War experience
quitting the Reserve corps.
Whereas Immediately following
the World War the corps was made
up practically exclusively of officers
with war experience, and there were
5000 Of them in 1922, at the present
time less than $4,000, or 14.8 per
cent, of those on the active list in
this category" he said.
Out of $4,000 college students COM
missioned in the R. o. T. c. since
1920, only $4,000 of these now are
active in the Reserve.
