Kiwanis Camp Health-Giving Centre For Boys And Girls Gains In Weight THE DAILY TIMES: GAZETTE SEAWAY FIGHT ERS ce i dl eS 1S CONTINUING Ontario Spotlight PAGE THIRTEEN Testify to Good Care of Campers By R. P. BRIMMELL +A summer paradise of cabins under the trees, fishing, ball-games, camp-fires and bathing in a cool swimming pool is enjoyed every year by scores of underprivileged children from the City of Oshawa. For 12 days of delight, groups of such youngsters are regally entertained at the special sum- mer camp run by the Kiwanis Club of Oshawa at Kedron, about four miles out of the city. Some of the results of that short holiday are surprising. With only one exception every one of the 120 children who have been to the Ki- wanis Camp this year so far have gained weight. To his mother's de- light and the astonishment of nurses, little Eddie Gibson gained nine pounds during his stay. Gains of up to eight pounds ere quite nor- mal. Boys and girls attending the camp are usually between the ages of § and 12 years and the place re- mains open from June 30 until August 16. EFFICIENT STAFF Director or this camp this year is Earl A. Fairman who is the super- vising principal of Whitby Public Schools. His wife acts as nurse and treasurer and other members of the permanent staff are Mrs Ann Crevier the cook, and her as- sistants, Mrs. Johnston and Miss Trotter. Swimming instructor and custodian of the pool, which ranges in depth from paddling to 6 feet 10 inches, is tanned Bill Rowley, of Whitby, and young councillors in : charge of the boys' groups are Jim Sharples, Dave Weldon and Bill Sutton, all from Oshawa, Council- lors for the girls' are Doris Hubbell, Grace Toazle, Catherine Roberts and Patsy Moore. Built' by Kiwanians nearly 30 years ago the camp takes about 245 children a season and each child is driven out by a member of Ki- wanis in a car. The present group at the camp consists of 61 young boys. They live in three cabins and are split up into three competi- tive groups knows as Beavers, Squirrels and Cubs. AN ACTIVE DAY The camp literally bursts into life at 7.30 a.m. when Mr, Fairman delivers a verbal reveille. A quick wash at the creek and the young- sters are ready for the traditional flag raising outside: the drive-way at 8 am. From then on the day is a child's dream of delight, Food, in the shape of a hearty breakfast, comes first and then a spot of work in making beds, dusting and wash- ing dishes before morning inspec- tion. At 10 am. the round of sports ander the hot sun starts. Ball games predominate while alternate shouting and yelling groups take riotous control of the swimming pool. Lunch is followed by a com- pllsory hour of perfect quiet in the camp so that the youngsters can get refreshed before thundering off into another burst of energy-burn- Mr. Fairman usually takes a group or two on a hike in the afternoon and had just returned (from such a trip yesterday when he\met a pho- tographer and reporter from The Times-Gazette out on a story of the camp. The youngsters were de- lighted to have their pictures tak- en for the paper. But the pressmen 'had te work while the youngsters splashed about in the' cool waters before supper and visited the tuckshop where all goods are sold at cost price, The Union Jack is lowered at 830 pm. and after that there is the nightly entertainment of a con- cert, bingo or a camp-fire sing-song and story-fest. Somehow or other the kids manage to put back an- other meal before hopping into bed at 9.45 p.m., so the Kiwanis are not running any diet camp. SLEEP COMES QUICKLY Sleep comes quickly at Kedron. Seven minutes is the. longest time taken so far for the crowd to all be fast asleep. In that earthly para- dise the youngsters are' even re- warded for going to sleep early. As a treat for their good behaviour Mr. Fairman allowed them to use the pool by flood-lights last night. All that--and fishing too! Trout of various sizes have been seen in the creek and the kids--true Cana- dian fishermen every one of them --are out after them. One young- ster claims he has seen what he calls a "horny days", the descrip- tion of which baffles the most knowledgeable expert on fishing. It has got horns but is not a mud- fish, according to the young nature- lover. NEW BUNGALOW Acquiring a healthy sun-tan, Mr. Fairman is thoroughly enjoying his work among the boys although he is kept busy from dawn until late at night. He and his wife live in a brand-new three-room bungalow at the camp. The local welfare so- ciety selects the names of the young- sters to go to the camp and in eight days' time the first of the girls' group will arrive to take pos- session. Films are provided for the young "buddies." When whistles blow each youngster sorts out his ap- pointed buddy and joining hands they raise their arms aloft so they can be quickly identified. The hands will be busy clapping on Sunday night when the Salvation Army Band will play at the camp. Last week the Rev. H. D. Cleverdon spoke to the boys on his experi- ences in Italy. A radio recording has been made at the camp, KIWANIS COMMITTEE Committees of the Kiwanis Club looking after the camp are the Un- derprivileged Child Committee and the Property Committee. Members of the former, under chairmanship of Dr. I, J. Metcalfe, are Messrs.

IN COMMITTEE Washington (AP) -- Members of the public works committee of.the House of Representatives 'today : continue their effort to Teach 4 5 e St. cision in the "battle Lawrence." The committee was called to meet in closed - door session for the fourth time in eight days to consider legislation to authorize the St. Lawrence seaway and pow-~ er project. There was no positive assurance that the group, almost evenly split on the bitterly - disputed proposal, would soon vote on whether to ac- cept or reject the legislation. The committee's membership was reduced from 27 to 25 'by the resignations of Representatives Ro- bert Secrest (Dem. O.) and Hen- derson Lanham (Dem. Gai). Se= crest said they agreed not to ate tend today's meeting. Their departures, however, were seen as having little effect on ime mediate voting because each cane. celled out the other. Lanham has been for the seaway, Secrest against. Representative T. M. Machro- wicz (Dem. Mich.) , a seaway supporter, has been designated. successor to Secrest, effective up on convening of the House today. This makes it impossible for him to vote. - - Lanham's successor has not been named and $roponents of the legis- lation admittedly are seeking to delay a final vote until the place is filled.

The motion, beaten by a 14-13 vote, would have ahd the effect of killing the legis- lation had it been accepted. Pickett, one of the most out. spoken of the seaway opponents, took the setback lightly. "I still think," he told a repor- ter, "that when we come to final vote -- on whether to accept or reject the bill -- that it will be virned down by a one - vote mar gin." 15 Simcoe St. N.
