SEEK FRESH AIR
INVITATIONS
Dover Friendly Town Com
mittee Receive Several
Invitations
MANY MORE SOUGHT

Georgianna Nunez, a Fresh Air
Child from New York, arrived
to spend the summer as
the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Marion
Davis of Cheswold. This is the
third summer Georgianna has en-
joyed here. A younger brother
and sister also have had vacations
with the Davisses, as well as the
Christmas holidays. This child is
one of many who are fortunate
enough to have the dusty streets
of tenement districts of New York
for an out-of-the city vacation un-
der the New York Herald Tribune
Fresh Air Fund, which furnishes
transportation, liability insurance
and medical services while the host
provides food and care and family
affection. The local committee,
known as the Friendly Town Com
mittee made up of representatives
of the churches and interested in
dividuals seeks invitations from
the community for these children
and makes the necessary arrange
ments.

When it is warm here, it is not
difficult to imagine what it is like
for children .sweltering in the hot
city. All city children deserve va
cations in the country but for
many it is impossible unless some
one helps.
I like to go swimming
And I like to play lot
/ like the food and 1 like to
help milk the COW, and / like
to help clean the house, And /
like the way Miss Blomson cooks
the foat and I like Miss Blomson.
So wrote a grateful six-year old
boy from Brooklyn after spending
two-week vacation in the coun-
try last summer invited by host
in a Friendly Town. You see, you
do not have to provide expensive
entertainment. Just make him
one of your family. It's an adj
venture in happiness for both the
host and the child.
If there is no Friendly Town
Committee near you, the Dover
Committee will be glad to take
your invitation, Call the chairman,
Mrs. Ehinger, Dover 2056, or any
member of the committee.
