FAREWELL TO
EDWARD SIMS
event upon event is being given
in every department of the
Robert Gould, Shaw House in
honor of one of its official staff
members who will leave on May
/, l943, namely Edward Sims, a
htghIv intelligent American gen
Heman, who has accepted a
position as Head-Worker in a
settlement house, Grand Rapids,
Michigan Ed. Sims has cut
himself a nice piece of historical
Hub cake as he, step by step,
CourageouSly made his way to
the top in social work, a master
Of boys =. He first captiyated
Boston when he formed a Boy
Scout Troop at the RoXbury
Boys Club under the numeral 8,
that not only made scout his
tory as they comparatively won
top honors but set a record
never equallled in the district
Such esteemed gentlemen
today as Norris Davis, Arthur
Richardson, Melvin Hebron,
Steven Davis, Henry Tyrell and
Franklin Williams and many
more all were members of RoX-
bury 8 under Ed, Sims since
being on the staff at Shaw
House Ed. Sims started a library

the ever plugging Ed, Sims at
the helm can truly boast of a
few thousands books and we
hope some day that it will be

mCntS and humanitarian acts
performed by Ed. Sims but the

did care too much for publicity

faithful son in Edward Sims and
Michigan will gain one 80. good
luck to you Mr.. Sims and may
God continue to bestow his
blessings upon you and your

THREE CHEERS FOR
ITNCTF SAM

listed by the U. S. Government
as essential that news comes
with major Importance and well
come from thousands of New
England children who would like
to spend two weeks, a month or
the entire Summer of their
school vacation out in the coun-
try playing, laughing, swimming
IN Gods sunshine, away from the
city -. it's great to be a "kid"
looking forward to such pleas
ureS and we hope you parents
don't let them down today
most Of the parents are engaged
in war work, on the home front
battling for victory D.. we'll,
here's another chance for you
to help Uncle Sam by endorsing
a program that will build up
strong young Americans who
some day will be ready to take
your place in the world =. and
here is a chance to help your
sell also -. with both parents
working our children do not get
the care essential to good
health, let's not kid ourselves
you should know by this
time that our Summer camps
are as good and in some cases
better than any other camps in
the Nation we have aSSoci-
ated ourselves with camps for
The past twelve years before
most Of our New England camps
were ever constructed so we
Know Just how correct they are
