The rains now have ceased and the winter is spent,
The voice of the turtle is heard in the land.
Come forth from thy shelter, come into the light,
From, the clefts of the rocks and the shadows of night;
Let mine eyes again feast on thy beauty once more
Shulamite, my fair one, resplendent in lore.
Let thy voice now distil in dulcet surcease:
A lay of sweet Hope and a paean of Peace.

Not every COUNTRY DAY CAMP camper has this capacity
for food, but every child who can use extra food—because
he uses that energy in play—has it upon request.
The Camp cook, Mrs. Olive "Georgeous" Worgess, knows
the food youngsters like and knows how to serve it attrac-
tively. We are proud that she can take simple food (we serve
nothing fancy) and season and garnish it to suit children's
tastes.
We use only Grade "A" pasteurized milk, in the original
bottles, delivered fresh daily, with an extra cap to keep it
clean. Our bread comes from a "home" bakery; our cookies
are mostly home-made.
We point with pride to the campers who, last year, put on
weight, learned to eat "strange" foods; whose fussy eating
habits disappeared while with us.
This is only one part of life at COUNTRY DAY CAMP—
Only the best for our campers!

one thing: real, deep-down smoking
