Camp to Begin in June.
The Fresh Air camp, located at.
Patterson lake, is one of the two of
its kind -in the country sponsored

of the University of Pennsylvania.
The camp session is divided into
four periods of 12 days each. The
first will begin the last week in
June, and the last will end in Au-
gust.
The regular routine of the camp
life starts when the boy and his
parents decide to accept the oppor-
tunity offered to him by the direc-
tors of the social welfare agencies,
who are patrons, of the camp.
Water is the camp's main attrac-
tion, with 4wimming lessons and
boating cruises, featuring the day's.
