(ALCAN) Twenty boys from Howick were on hand to travel by bus to Camp chagami on Saturday, where joined a group from Listowel, boys will return next Saturday then the girls will take over. Leaders from this district assisting are, Keh Edgar in. charge of water­ front activities; Mrs, Carl Douglas, music; Ronald McMichael, counsellor. Another leader is Clarence Grainger, Wallaceburg, brother of Merwyn Grainger, of this village, who is in charge of crafts while his Wife takes care of the tuck shop. Mr. Grainger is supervising principal. It is interesting to note that he was one of the first leaders to interest himself in camp leadership way back in the depression years when there was not much recreation provided for the children. Mr. Grainger with others, organized a group from Listowel and took them to the banks of the river at Ethel. Business men provided food and other necessary articles for camp life and many children of that district had a wonderful holiday. Parents whose children are given opportunity to spend a week of camp life with trained and responsible leadership should be and no doubt are grateful. A holiday at the lake is the dream of every child and Howick Lions Club together with Listowel Re­ creational Club and Rotary Club aim to make that happy dream come true. W. I.
