EXPLAIN CAMP RODNEY

Scouts in camping learn to ad-
just themselves as do men in the
Army" These were the words of
Mr.. George Ehinger, Superintend-
ent of Murphy Schools in Dover,
as he addressed the Smyrna Ro-
tary Club last Thursday evening.
Long interested in the scout pro-
gram, Mr.. Ehinger brought before
the club the plans for expansion of
Rodney Scout Camps near North
East, Md, which is the official
Boy Scout camp area for the Del
Mar-Va Council. He told the club
how scout discipline is taught and
how the boys acquire the ability
to take care of themselves in an
emergency. Individual troop camp
sites are now being developed to
enable troops to camp independ-
emily of the camp proper at Rod
ney, according to Mr.. Ehinger. A
year-round camping program is
now being developed and 25 cabins
are being constructed for this pur-
pose. The expansion program is
to be financed by popular subscrip-
tions from citizens in the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula. William e.
Matthews, Jr., was chairman of
the evening program and Nelson
Everhart, president-elect, presided
in the absence of DR.. Ralph B.

The Crusade of American Over

For Children, through the coopera-
tion of the Secretary of State of
the United States and the u. S.
Department of Agriculture, is in
augurating campaign to help
children of foreign lands. The
Crusade For Children program is
designed to meet those fundament-
al needs that now exist which at
present cannot be met locally.
This was announced by DR.. George
R. Miller, Jr., in a letter to school
administrators recently. with
full recognition of the pressing
duties of administrators and teach
ers at the end of the school term,
we feel that we are justified in
seeking the cooperation of the
public school personnel to assist in
the dissemination of information
relative to this Crusade" DR.. Mill
er stated. 1--WE can do this by:
suggesting that teachers become
familiar with the Crusade for Chill
dren so that they may explain the
and seriousness of the
problem to these children and to
the world for when hunger is
master, ideals go out the window;
suggesting that the children take
the materials home to their fam
lilies; and by assisting in appropri-
ate ways, as you see fit, through
discussions, posters, etc., to devel-
op better understanding of the
issues involved in the Crusade For
Children" "Please note" DIR.
Miller said, "that we are not being
asked to collect any money nor to
conduct campaign. Our respon-
sibilities would be in the direction
of bringing the facts to the atten-
tion of the children and distribut-
ing the materials to the parents.
They, in turn, if they should wish
to contribute, can do so by con-
tacting the local representative of
the Delaware Committee"
