FIGHT ON CAMP
TO CONTINUE,
STATES PIPER
“The question of suitable camp
ing facilities for the boys of St.
Antoine Branch Y.MC.A. has not
been dropped." Percival Piper told
the Chronicle this week. "While
there are no new developments,"
he continued, "the committee still
has the problem in hand and pos
sibilities for camping facilities this
year are not being over-looked.’’
Piper said that the St Antoine
Boy s Committee feels that the boys
should be integrated into the pro
gram for Camp Ohiesa on the basis
of a 1-1 Oth ration “In this manner,"
Piper said, “we would be able to
get about 20 boys in at each period."
According to Piper, several of
the Boys’ Work secretaries of the
city have recommended that such
a program be worked out and has
signified their willingness to cut
their quotoes in order to allow boys
from St. Antoine to attend. “These
recommendations are based upon ,
the fact that in as much as these !
same boys go to school together and j
work together in many instances,
there can be no real reason why
they should not share Y.MC.A.
camping facilities," Piper said.
R. Cecil Robinson, boys work
secretary of St. Antoine, signified
the interest that is being taken in
the matter of a camp in a statement
made to t-his reporter, that an
average of five parents call the
“Y" each day inquiring about the
possibilities of camping facilities
for their children.
“In light of this interest and the
willingness of other boy s work
secretaries in the city to cooperate,
we are strongly urging the Metro
politan “Y" Council to send the
boys to the camp this year, and next
year by all means," Piper said.
RETURNS HOME
Mrs. Macon Porter of the Maxine
Beauty shop has returned from a
four weeks vacation in Hot Springs,
Ark . and Minneapolis, Minn.
Miss Patricia Mullison of the
American Youth For Democracy
told the Chronicle last week that
the organization is anxious to have
girls of all races in the Sweethearts
of Service Men clubs and that the
Negro members of the American
Youth For Democracy had made
valuable contributions to the ef
forts of that organization.
According to Miss Mullison the
Detroit SOS clubs are now rehears
ing for a show for the boys at the
Percy Jones hospital on July 9. The
girls are under the direction of;
Miss Patricia Moore. James Tait
and Dorothy Mayes. Allen Burrell
and Kyp Green. AYD members, are
aiding by giving their services to
tnc group.
On June 23 the SOS clubs of the
American Youth For Democracy
will stage a “Back the Invasion
Rally” at the Masonic Temple. This
rally is to be held in cooperation
with the sth War Loan Drive and
the American Red Cross Blood
Bank.
Miss Mullison said‘further that
the Sweethearts of Servicemen
clubs have both white and Negro
sponsors in Detroit and that there
are three inter-racial canteens in
the city. “We feel.” she said, "that
participation in the SOS should get
the full support of young women
all over the city who are anxious
to participate in the war effort."
