NEW YORK. Greatly to the
professional ability of New York's
DR.. Thomas W. Patrick Jr., is due
the credit of the magnificent
success of Camp Willowemoc in
the town of Roscoe, Sullivan
Sounty, N. Y. This present season
is now the third in succession and
DR.. Patrick has each year been the
executive director as well as the
inspiration and guiding genius.
Under his care there has been a
steady average of some hundred
or more children, ranging from 4
to fourteen years and each group
has been impartially bi-racial and
co-educational. They have been
efficiently trained by cultured
camp leaders and counsellors who
have given special emphasis to
nature study, farming, gardening
surveying, fruit canning, fence
building, chicken raising, meat
curing, camp and scout cooking,
vegetable drying, as well as arch
cry, tennis, hiking, boxing, GRO
quet, horse shoe pitching and Of
course, self improvement, social
adjustment, self reliance, compan-
ionship, inter-racial understand
ing, citizenship, cooperative iv-
ing and planning, health, safety,
first aid and appreciation of
Gods great outdoors. In fact, so
comprehensive are the ideals at
Camp Willowemoc that no phase
of child life in reference to camp
life is left undirected.
The inter-racial and inter
democratic aspects of the leaders
and faculty leave nothing to be
desired on the part of the parents
of the children who will become
an integral part of the future
American citizenship. The physi-
cal equipment of the camp plant
comprises a well located and adj
equately furnished big house or
central building where a large
recreation auditorium, a spacious
dining hall, a modern kitchen,
laundry, store and parents re-
ception lounge, insue comfot and
convenience to both campers and

lowing dates; July 16, August 5,

parents are cordially requested
to bring basket lunches for them
selves which will be enjoyed amid
the natural beauty of a huge and
! shady maple grove, while the
children whom they will visit will
be provided with similar baskets
to be enjoyed with their parents.
| Fitting entertainment of a dram
attic sort will be a part of the
