Summer Camping

Mrs. Julian H. Scott, president
of the Fresh Air S o c i e t y, an-
nounced that applications are now
available for its summer camping
program.
Fresh Air Society operates Camp

the camper progresses from year
to year.
Nature, camperaft, canoe trips,
aquatics, arts and crafts, drama-
tics and music are emphasized.
A particular goal of the Fresh

feel comfortable with his Jew-
ishness, whatever he decides it
to be for himself.
The pioneer program has de-
veloped to meet the needs of teen-
age campers. They live and plan in
separate villages in which the em-
phasis is on out-door living, pro-
jects, extended canoe trips and
cultural excursions and activities.
Selected teens participate in the
Teen Trip Program. Two trips, one
to Canada and New England
States, and the other west to
Wyoming, Utah and Colorado are
planned for this summer.
Camp Kennedy, directed by Gor-
don Levenson near Munising, in
the Upper Peninsula, provides
camping experiences for 14- to 16-
year-old boys and girls. The pro-
gram emphasis is in conservation
projects and extended trips to na-
tional forests and parks.
For the fifth year, the Fresh Air
!Society and United Hebrew Schools
will operate a Hebrew-speaking
village. Kfar-Ivri, for 24 selected
youngsters. Hebrew classes and
informal study groups will be con-
ducted during the morning, with
afternoon and evenings devoted to
activities of the regular camp
program. Counselors who speak
Hebrew conduct this program.

plications, contact Fresh Air So-

Flow Jews in 1800s Used Fists

Three times the State of Israel

off the threats of her neighbors.)
People unversed in Jewish history t

that one must go back all the way

examples of what a rabbi once
called "muscular Judaism."
Jews have generally lived secure
