a great ileal of exritcment in these biggins when the fishermen get to- ' Swimming races and regattas are (he njost popular sports. James Strauh is our liost oarsman among Die boys. Boh. Ilnnkiits is the star boy swimmer, ft is worth a fellow's N'o.ilouhl, residents of Ocean City have wondered at " a crowd of boysi n.ijiing along ami perhaps starting a search in front of their houses. Don't! worry gentle reader the boys were *' eijy on a "Treasure Hunt." This is] one of the fa\4u-|tc pastimes. A band of two or tnreo boys under the' leadership of a counselor, .goes first ! and makes a chalked arrow trail. Al ! intervals they hide a "Treasure", con- j sitting of candy, a stingy cap or an arm band, or something similar. The boys look for the treasure mark and when this is found there is a wild scramble. When the treasure is found ' thev follow the arrows to the next treasure. They always come back from a treasure hunt tired hut, , happy. The daylight saving plan gives us long evenings to provide for. Mr. : Faupce, Miss Doughty ami Frank ' i'latt, the manager of the Hippodrome, have come to our aid. They i permit us to take the boys to their , lesppeUve theatres one afternoon per , week. We have to pay the war tax only. This has been a great help to , us as it has filled up three after- i noons a week. , We certainly appre- i ciate the. kindness of these three peo-' pie. The other afternoons in the week are taken up "by hall games and similar athletic contests. One or perhaps twp evenings per v.eek we have a "Camp Fire." The !*>>•* an.! grown ups assemble around the open fire place in the recreation room. The boys collect drift wood along the bay front for this occasion. A humorous incident might be nientionod In connection with this practice. It has lieen the custom to !pnd new campers after tent wrench- ' sky hooks, the key to the oar locks and similar types of hardware, borne of the- more sophisticated of the camper? refused, on % these: gmuuds to go after drift wood. . '•Mien the fire Is lighted Hie evening! ' spent in story telling and song. Henry Ward is our favorite entertainer. His liest liked selection drawled out in S his . characteristic . Cockney accent, rim* like this: "The boy stpo.< on tt|e-liurning deck^ With a /"Ik fork toasting clu^^r The mniif stood in the barnyard With a\ hand spike stabbing fleas.

The Rotary Club arrived last Tuesday, with its thousand Boys. A parade was formed at the Fourteenth street station of the Pennsylvania rnildoad. Tlie line of march was over Fourteenth street to Asliury avenue. A contingent from the Germantown Boys' Club Camp came over to jvelcoine the visitors. Some of the residents of Ocean City offered their enrages as hath houses for the boys. Hags were provided in which thq boys placed their clothes. After the dip in the ocean the boys were marched to the Germantown V "oys' Club camp at Fourteenth street and the bay where they were fed aj

He touched on the svs- ' ' | tern of ngmliig the boats of the G. B. j C. navy. It has lieen the. custom to | name the boats after members of the : Germantown Boys' Club who died in the service. The hoys who would use^thAjp boats would, out of natural ! curiosity-, inquire the significance of the names on .'the boats. This would j fend, as Mr. Harriett remarked, to keep ex-er green and flourishing in I the minils of the younger boys, the : heroic deeds of ' the men who went j forth at their country's call and sacrificed their lives without a murium j of protest'. Miss Helen Pierson broke a buttle fbf Atlantic Ocean water over the bow ! of the canoe anil the "Walter Wells" ] slid into the hay. The ceremonies . j were completed with the singing of I.
