|CAMP MATAUCHA
 PROGRAM READY
" Summer Site Opens Wednesday; Many New
 Crafts Introduced

Camp Mataucha, the Waterbury Y. M. c. As summer spot, will of. ficially open Wednesday, July 5th Many new activities will be included in the program arranged for the re- mainder of the season.
 The Middler section, directed by John s. Ripandelli of Columbia university will have many new fea- lures in its program. Plans are un. der way for "Trailer Hikes" Two wheel conveyances will be construc- ted which vii Accommodate the blanket rolls and food for the group. Suggested trips are being mapped out at the present time by the staff The possibilities of Covered Wagon Trips" are being discussed. Boys would leave the base camp in Watertown in the wagon and make several overnight camps on their trip.
 In addition to the outpost camp situated on an island in Candlewood Lake and directed by Robert Stock ton of Alabama, seniors and mid- dlers will take numerous canoe trips on other lakes and rivers. Under this plan boys will get the experi- ence of canoeing under all kinds of conditions.
 Many new crafts will be intro- duced this year under the leader ship of Arthur Charpentier, Spring field, Craft Director. Many group projects are being planned for the craft groups. Among them include the erection of @ rustic entrance to the camp and the carving of large totum pole from the dead tree near the waterfront. This totem pole will be approximately 70 feet in height and will be carved entirely by the boys themselves.
 An extensive program of Indian lore will be promoted In the Junior section. Ralph L. Cooke, Junior sectional director and MT. Charpen- tier have plans for the making of a number of Indian teepees and lean- tos by the members in this division. Boys will make Indian head dresses, costumes. will learn Indian dancing and stories and will spend much time Tn this outdoor, Indian en- campment.
 The staff of 45 men Is spending much time during their training week which opened June 29th on the matter of the democratic set- up Of the camp. It Is planned this year to have council in each sec- ton composed of representatives Of each tent appointed by the boys themselves. Representatives from the three councils will be members of the Camp Council. These coun- cils will do much of the planning and running of the camp under the guidance and supervision of the trained staff. Since Camp Matau- cha is in reality a miniature city, 1t Is felt that such an experience will be valuable for boys and that 1t will train them In the process of demo- cratic living.
 The program for the opening night council fire this Wednesday evening will be in the form of a "Friendship Fire" Each tent places a log on the campfire symbolizing the strong ties Of friendship present in the camp. The smoke from the Camp Mataucha fire mingles in the air with the smoke from other "" camp fires all over the world

In The Middle Status Not Comfortable

not place Danzig back in the po- sition 1t held for 300 years, from l454 to l793, as an independent city? A League of Nations commissioner could be installed to see that Poland got its uninterrupted right of a sea opening, and yet that local self government of the Danzigers, then nearly all Germans was kept intact It sounded good. But the Dan- zigers never forgot that since l793 at the second partition of Poland Danzig had been German.
 The gradual intrusion of Poles especially in high positions, customs posts, mercantile jobs, and the like was resented. And Germany never forgave the splitting off of East Prussia by the neutral corridor ending In Danzig at the seat. RETURN
 TO REICH"
 Now the pressure Is rising There seems little doubt that most Dan- zigers would prefer to return to the German homeland" But could Poland sec that happen by violence and without guarantee of a certain sea outlet, without the possibility of loss of their own independencep ? It would seem a perfect place for peaceable adjustment of perfectly valid claims by both sides.
 But the mood of Europe just now is not one in which the sensible weighing of Just claims is likely to have much of show, and the League of Nations, which was in- tended to have the balance of power in the conflicting claims at Danzig, is no longer In a position to exercise 1t.
 One of the traditional meeting places, and clashing points between Teuton and Slav in Europe, may thus become a meeting place of the air fleets of Europe as well, distress ingly "in the middle" today as 1t has been for centuries.

 Oh the garden of tomorrow; Every hedge and clump, Present @ scene of beauty But once concealed dump. Many roadside eyesoreS, Grassless areas without a tree, Sometimes bloom over night Just for you and me. Piles of cans and rubbish, Acres of cinders and trash, In less time than you can think Become a lagoon where mermaids splash. Oh the gardens ot tomorrow Every lovely row and clump, Cover most unoyely area That was once a hideous dump.
