Our two beautiful) Fresh Air Camps—Branchville, Conn. (Post office, Georgetown, Conn.), for girls, and Pottersville, N. J. for boys—are now in full swing dispensing your goodness to the children of the tene- ments through the best-trained coun- sellors and managers that we can pro- cure—men and women who work not only to give the children two happy but to plant in their minds some secd of helpfulness that may hear fruit later. The summer is bound to be long and hot and there are lots of youngsters who are pleading to be shown that the world can be a gentle place. We hope you will ponder on the gorgeousness of being able to buy and deliver two golden weeks of childhood for $15, and we beg you also to re- member that even less buys a great many hours of joy. weeks, Lire’s Fresh Air Fund Live's Fresit Az Fuxo has been in opera- tion for the past thirty-eight years, In that time it has expended $294,408.13 and_ hos given @ fortnight im the country to 47,647 foor city children, Contributions, which are acknowledged in Live obout three s after their receipt, should be made payable to Live’s Presi Aw Fy Np, and sent to $98 Madison Avenue, New York.
