The Negro child ren’s camp at Swansboro lasts from July 2. to August 9. The , childrens’ camps are open to any crippled child between the ages of 7 to 17. Since the Easter Seal Society first opened camps for crippled in 1951, 680 children have parti cipated in the program that has meant rejuvenation of mind and body. ■ “Donald is no longer the painfully shy and withdrawing child that he was before he at tended the Easter Seal Camp,” his teacher said. His mother ex pressed delight that hg had be come relatively independent and plays beautifully with the child ren of the neighborhood even though he is still never chosen by either baseball team an experience that in former years made him rebellious in the home and resentful toward the child ren. In fact he tells the children m ’ ELEPHANT Once upon a time there was a pretty square pachyderm who remember his own name—which was Sam. He was so ashamed of his mem- B ory he wanted to die —but he couldn’t remember the way to the elephant’s SBBBBB^ graveyard. One day a few friends happened to thunder in around cock iil time and saw his new Mercury. * A huge trade-in made it a buy he’ll jgj yever forget. It’s more six elephants big and costs only $1.20 more per month than a “low-price 3“ car. MORAL: If you want a jumbo-size only costs peanuts per day the MERCURY/58 BANKS-YOUNG MOTOR COMPANY, Inc.

Then with both crutches he could travel to first, sgcond and third bases and then to home base be forp th e children on crutches and wheel chairs could retrieve the ball and get it back to the catch er. Donald also became an ex pert swimmer. Felix S. Barker, president of the North Carolina Society for Crippled .Children & Adults, has mailed letters with campership certificates to people and to clubs who ' might be interested in helping to send a child to camp this summer. For informa tion write to: The North Caro lina Society for Crippled Child-1 ren & Adults, Box 839, Chapel Hill, N. C. A copy of the certifi cate -Jetter follows: “Camping has become a happy experience for crippled children of North Carolina. Since the op ening of the first camp in 1951, a total of 680 children have had this wonderful experience. Camping creates - ail ''environment in which a crippled child may live for a time with others who i se e and accept him as an im portant human being. In such an environment the absence of function of an arm or a leg is without importance Camp fees meet one-half of the camping cost, and th e Soc iety contributes the balance. To give every crippled child an op portunity, special “camperships are needed.. By the use of th e certificate be low, you can assure a' crippled child an experiense that he might not have otherwise. A contribu tion in any amount will be ap preciated. pipnse let me know of any child you wish to recommend fo r camp.” mmm&u , . <- &FIAS AMERICA 5 • '- ' ' V « K SAVINGS WM .?*■?.

This will be in addition to the exhibits of fine mountain crafts and the demon strations by craftsmen which are regular • featuFes-bf the Fair. The' Southern Highland Handicraft Guiild is offering the Scandina vian Exhibit ijj, response to the suggestions from many members that-some foreign crafts be in cluded in the Fair for their own edification. The addition of drafts from other lands should prove of interest to Fair visitors from all over the United States as well. The Scandinavian Exhibit will include work from Norway, Swed en, Denmark and Finland and will show weavings, pottery, me talwork, basketry and woodwork ing. Articles in the Exhibit will be from the collections of Guild members; among them the Pen land School of Handicrafts at Penland and the John C. Camp bell Folk School at Brasstown, and Miss Marian Heard of the University of Tennessee, who re gularly conducts craft tours in Europe in the summer. The items in the collections have all been carefully chosen for their excell ence and appeal by these crafts men on their travels in the Scan dinavian countries. The decision to include exam ples of foreign crafts in th e Fair Exhibits for the first time fulfills the wishes expressed on question naires returned to the Guild this year by many members from their wiedly scattered homes and work shops in the Southern Highland area. These craftsmen asked to have the opportunity at the Fair to see what craftsmen in other countries were doing and to edm pare the results with their own 'work. + SOLEMN THOUGHT FOR "THE FOURTH" ' WHTg,MBB¥OM,NEaiIIEMAL • - 11 4444*444444444444 * 4k 44444*444444444^ | FOR THE BEST | | IN | l Motor Tune Up, Body & Fender Repairs $ | Front End Alignment, Wheel Balancing J Major & Minor Auto Repairs, J Under Coating, Winterizing, With Radiator Repairs J !
