Magazine Story To
Laud Mooseheart

The Child City, operated and
maintained by the Loyal Order of
Moose for the care and training
of the orphan children at Moose
heart, Illinois, has long been recog-
nized as the worlds finest home
of it's kind. Even though the Child
City has been acclaimed by Scien-
lists and Educators all over the
world and has been visited annu-
ally by hundreds of thousands of
visitors, it has not been generally
in the public eye until just recent
ly when nationally circulated mag
azines and supplements "discover-
ed" its outstanding difference
from the ordinary type of orphan
age. The complete story of Moose
heart, the Child City, will appear
in the September 4 issue of Satur-
day Evening Post illustrated with
host of beautiful and distinctive
color photographs.
The Child City is located 35
miles west of Chicago on a tract
of more than 1900 acres situated on
the beautiful Fox River in north
ern Illinois. The terrific differen-
tial between Mooseheart and the
average orphanage cannot be bet
ter described than through the use
of the statement made to the Post
by one of Mooseheart's graduates,
Russell Raycroft who, at thirty
three, is an executive of one of the
largest radio agencies in the coun-
try.
In his statement to the Post,
Raycroft said, "My father died,
leaving our mother, my sister,
Mary, and myself entirely depend
ent. We had to go to Mooseheart
and none of us wanted to go. To
me it was an orphanage and or
phanages were red brick, dismal
repulsive places. We walked up
the lined avenue to Moose
heart and | dreaded the end of
the walk-the usual red-brick
building. Suddenly we came into
full view of Mooseheart's great ex-
panse-no red-brick buildings but
fine, bright homes spread out on
hundreds of acres of beautiful

From Henderson, we went to
Boulder Dam, which certainly is as
impressive as anything we have seen
in the West. We learned that when
they started to pour tn econcrete for
the dam, IT tons at a time, whole
cars of cement were picked up by
special hoists from a railroad track
on the side of the mountain, and
lowered to where they were needed
on the dam.
"When you go down in the elevat-
or in the dam, it is the equivalent
of a 48-story building, after which
you go down IS more stairways to
see the big machine shop they have
down there.
"They had to build a special
factory here to manufacture the pipe
used in the dam, because the size
needed was too large to permit
having it shipped into the site. The
state lines of Nevada and Arizona
go right thru the dam.
"Next we went about 100 miles
south to Search Light, named
suppose because there are quite a
few gold mines there. We didn't
get any gold, but I did see some very
wild horses and some cattle, altho
everything is desert.
We also were at the Valley Of
Fire, about 125 east of Las Vegas
This valley is about so miles long
and 80 miles wide, and looks to me
like the place was red-hot at some
time.
Everything around looks the
color of burned brick, and on the
bottom are a lot of red cinders.
don't know how deep those cinders
are. The mountains around the
valley are several thousand feet
high. and there are many holes
entirely thru them. I looked thru
onehole and saw daylight on the
other side.
"We next went to Mt. Charleston
about rs miles north of Las Vegas
1t is nice drive up the mountain
about 1900 feet high, and there was
a lot of snow up there. At this
time of the year they do a lot of
skiing up there. On the way down
there are places where YOU can
coast your car for 20 miles at a
time"
