On Sunday afternoons visit ors are welcomed at the Y. M. C. A. camp located just at the foot of the Sauratown moun tains, over near Capella, in- Yadkin township. Stokes coun ty. This was established about two years since, and was donated to the Y. M. C. A. of Winston-Salem by the sons of the late John W. Hanes in mem- ory of him. The camp bears his nurvK 1 . A visit to the camp by a number of Danburv and Wal nut Cove people last Sunday afternoon proved to be a meat interesting trip. The prime business of the camp is the training of youth —physically, mentally and spiri tually, and the best teachers to be had are employed constantly , during the campinfe- Reason, j Located at the camp is a large pretty lake, with boats, spring , boards and diving towers. There is a number of tennis courts, volley ball courts, base ball diamond, etc. A life-saver is kept constantly on the watch ! while the boys are swimming in the lake and all are taught to swim and instructed in the art of life saving. Oiking, jumping, and all the gany?s are indulged in throughout the day, a regular schedule being followed at all times, i A nice roomy cottage has been erected for the director of the camp and the instruct ors. while a score of neat little huts provide sleeping quarters for the boys. In each of these are three two-deck bunks, pro viding for six bovs to the hut. Kvery ten days fifty or more boys arrive and as they com ! plete their stay and leave an j other bunch arrives, so that j the camp is occupied through out the summer months. At i present a l(i-y ear-old group !is being entertained, and later ■the 12 and 14-year-old boys i will arrive, and so on. Occas i ionally the can/,) entertains | girls instead of boys. The 'charges made by the camp are nominal and it is a great ad vantage to the youngsters to spend a while at this pictures ique place among the moun- I tains and at the same time re ceive valuable instruction.
