BOYS CLUB CAMP
 TO PRESENT PLAY
Dramatic Group T a k e s Spotlight Tonight;
 Prizes Offered

The campers at the Boys Club camp in Middlebury are beginning to show evidence of their artistic leanings in several ways this week.

 Charlotte, Mich, Aug. 10 - ] was born in Niagara county, New York, on April IS, 1859. My parents brought me to Michigan year later and after moving around for four years, settled on part of the farm that I now own, there being 30 acres in the farm at that time. There was a mortgage on this and no house.
 My parents faced the problem of building a home, paying mortgage and raising three children, a sister, brother and myself. They started me to school in the country when was four.
 I averaged six months in the year until I was 12 and was then taken out to help my father on the farm. My parents did everything for me that any parents could do under such conditions.
 It was a neighborhood without any church. The only services were in an adjoining school house. This was confined mostly to a few months Sunday school in the sum- mer. At a session of the revival meetings, my mother was convert ed. My father wasn't until later in life. Both gave us good advice and wanted us to be dutiful children.
 In the general way of speaking, the neighbors were good people, but with an exception or two. none professed Christianity. We grew up with the other boys and girls ur- der such an environment. AS we grew older, we did those things ob- jected to by my parents. We went to card parties, dances and hung around the pool rooms and saloons. In those days there was no law to prevent boys hanging around sal- cons.

 Even with the influence of the above adverse environment, I was engaged to teach term of school The statement came to me very plainly that my example would not be what the little ones was teaching ought to follow. I wanted them to look at me as conducting life that would be safe for them.
 For the first time in my life I felt that I was called before Al- mighty God to be told what would have to do if I was to be the ex- ample to those little folks wanted to be. It took courage to say that I would do what He re- quired me to do. I did it and that was the change of my life and the cause today for my placing de- pendence in the faith that has never left me in any of the prob- lens of life.
 My standing as 8 first grade teacher was the best in the country. I made it a study on any line that could interest myself. Law was one of these.

KIWANIS AIDING
 VACATION HOUSE
Underwrite Expenses of 75 Children Enjoying l2. Day Visit at Quassapaug

Learning yesterday that the vaca- tion house at Lake Quassapaug was to be closed after tomorrow for lack of funds, members of the Wa terbury Kiwanis club volunteered to raise 8 sufficient sum of money among themselves to meet the ex- penses of sending 75 children to the vacation house for twelve days.
 The members of t. club were ad- dressed at their weekly meeting at the Elton by Rev. Samuel A. Budde vicar of Christ chapel, who told them of the benefits to children of- fered by even a brief stay at the house. Impressed by his account of the work of the vacation house, the Kiwanians voted to raise $500, and with 1t to send 75 children between the ages of 8 and 12 out t Quas- sapaug for a twelve-day stay, be- ginning Monday. The children are taken out and back by members of the Automobile Dealers association of Waterbury.
 The vacation house, as Mir. Budde told the group, belongs neither to St. Johns Episcopal church nor to the Visiting Nurse association, but is looked after by commission on funds raised among 600 subscribers, through the efforts of Mrs. Bessie Crane.
 The outing of the Kiwanians at the home of George Boden was re- ported as being a very successful one.
 Members of the club who are in- terested in attending the New Eng land convention Sept. 21, 9 and 23, are urged to submit their names to President Howard Miller as soon as possible. The club will pay for the registratio of ten of its mem- bers at the convention.
