et An Indiana Farm Party, July 26, Will Mark Acorn Camp's 10th Year

THE HERBERT A. SWEETS this summer have a “family” of more than four score children—their own Judy and Jill, aged 6 and 3, and the children attending Acorn Farm camp north of Carmel which Mr. and Mrs. Sweet operate during the summer months when Mr.

Sweet is not teaching at Orchard school. During the nine years past, the camp has been known as Acorn camp, but this year it became Acorn Farm camp when the Sweets built their white-columned, red brick residence on the place. In preceding years Acorn has been a day camp, but with the new house there are facilities for “over nighters,” some of whom may, if they choose, “rough it” in a real-for-sure army tent. In celebration of the 10th anniversary and the achievement of the farm status, Acorn’s annual pageant this year, on Sunday, July 26, will be an Indiana farm party with parents of the campers invited to attend wearing dungarees, calicos and ginghams. Year before last the pageant had an Indian theme and last year it was a pioneer show, so this years event will bring the early settlers to home grounds.

Counselors Assist Mr. Sweet

THE CAMPERS THIS YEAR are adding their own agricultural touch with two late gardens, featuring tomatoes and corn. - There also are two new ponies, a black and a white, the dog, Punch, and some ducks which the children permit to paddle about in the creek only when they are carefully tethered on strings. Later there will be sheep and possibly goats to round out the farm’s roster of livestock. Counselors this year, with Mr. Sweet, are Fred Lesh, Doug White, Tom Hendrickson, Charles Marks, Misses Vera Hunt, Barbara Franzen and Marcia Smith. The campers are divided into two groups of older and younger children who attend on alternate days, being transported to and from camp in a bright orange school bus Enown as Bessie. Bessie also works each afternoon taking the campers to Northern Woods beach for their daily swim. Campers enrolled this year at Acorn include Eleanor Snyder, St. Louis; Frank Moore, St. Clair, Mich.; Tinker Morey, Evanston, Iil.; David Gulling, Ward Halverson, John and Stephen DeVoe, John Moenning, Gus Efroymson, Dickie McCrae, Sandy and Dan MecNally, Jim Batman, Tom and Joe Reagan, Ben and Betsy Alexander, James Efroymson, John Solomon, Paul Todd, Steven Wright, Guthrie Balch, John Esterline, Albert Beveridge, Jerry Fenstermaker and Howard Henderson.

July 4 at the Country Clubs

THE FOURTH OF JULY is being given back to the children this year, if plans of local country clubs are a criterion. For years father has appropriated most of the Fourth fun along with the custodianship of the firecrackers, but now that firecrackers are taboo and elaborate pyrotechnical displays are scarce, the young fry are coming into their own. Out at the Indianapolis Country club next Saturday the main attractions have been planned for the children—a dog and pony show with a clown, and ponies for the kiddies to ride. For the elders there will be golf and swimming and a buffet supper in the evening. The holiday activities were planned by Mr. and Mrs. John Gordon Kinghan, chairmen; Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Rogers and Mr. and Mrs. Hal T. Benham. At the Highland Golf and Country club, too, it will be a big day for the youngsters. Starting at 3 p. m. there will be a variety of contests for their entertainment—a swimming race from 3 to 4 o'clock, three-leg races, sack races, a softball game, a pie-eating contest, a tug o' war and numerous other games. = = = = = = At 5:30 o'clock, the children will form for a parade to the flagpole before the clubhouse and later there will be a special dinner for them in the front lounge of the clubhouse. A buffet dinner will be served for the grownups. Topping off the day will be a two-hour outdoor movie show with comic features for the children. The Woodstock club's program for Saturday includes a tennis tournament, golf, swimming and a buffet luncheon and supper. Mr and Mrs. Conrad Ruckelshaus head the entertainment committee.

Ask Women to Facilitate Transportation

Marion county clubwomen and housewives again have been called upon to aid in the local transportation problem. Co-operation with the eight-point wartime emergency transportation program which goes into effect next Tuesday is urged in an appeal di= rected to women in Marion county by Mrs. Rudolph Grosskopf, president of the seventh district, Indiana Federation of Clubs, and Mrs. Donavan A. Turk, president of the Indianapolis Council of Women. The appeal stressed the necessity of women using the public transit facilities only during the quiet hours of the day, between 10 a. m. and 4 p. m. and after 7p. m., and urged that club and group meetings be scheduled so as not to interfere with rush hour traffic on the transit system. “Housewives and organization women can render a real patriotie service by refraining from riding busses and streetears during the rush periods before 10 in the morning and after 4 in the afternoon,” Mrs. Grosskopf said. On Mareh 20, Mrs. Grosskopf recommended that clubs affiliated with the federation move meetings up one hour—ifrom the usual time at 2 p. m. to 1 p. m—to alleviate traffic after 4 p. m. At that time Indianapalis Rail« way officials pointed out that 50 per cent of their equipment was idle 20 hours a day due to lack of proper traffic distribution throughout the day and that there was a 16 pet cent increase in the passenger traffic this year over last. In regard to the recent appeal, Mrs. Turk said, “The more than 35.« 000 women who are members of the Indianapolis Council of Women ine dorse without reservation the local war time transportation program and pledge their whole<hearted support to it. “The women of Indianapolis fully realize their city has become one of the great manufacturing centers of our nation,” she added. “They know it is imperative that war workers get to defense plants on time and that it is necessary to distribute the transportation load to forestall any possibility of a breakdown in the transit service.”
