The first session of the nonprofit camps will open Sunday. July 11, at Camp Riley in Bradford Woods near Martinsville. Begun in 1954, the Camp Riley program includes most of

the activities usually available in a camp for children who have no physical disabilities. At Camp Riley there is fishing, swimming, boating, nature study, handcrafts and hiking (including wheelchair bound campers). Any physically handicapped child from 8 through 15 years of age is eligible to apply. His own physician must sign the application, after which a committee of doctors, nurses and medical social workers at Riley hospital determines whether the applicant can participate in and benefit from the camp activities. There are accommodations for about 60 campers for each of the three, 12-day sessions. Children in wheelchairs and braces and on crutches, plus a limited number of deaf and blind children are accepted each year. The first session will run from July 11th to 23rd; the second from July 25th to August 6th, and the third and final session from August Bth to 20th. The camp is equipped with allweather cabins, a large dining hall, craft shelter, temperaturecontrolled swimming pool and outpost facilities, in addition to a UO-acre lake for fishing, boating

and water sports. A physician and a registered nurse are on duty 24 hours a day and student nurses from the Indiana University School of Nursing supplement the medical staff. Dr. Robert J. Wade, Jr., who has directed the camps for the past seven years, will return for the 1971 sessions with a carefully selected staff of college-trained counselors dedicated to the task of providing a unique and beneficial experience for children whose physical limitations may have precluded their participation in many outdoor activities. Independence and initiative are encouraged, in an atmosphere of friendliness and understanding. While there is no treatment regimen at Camp Riley, the therapeutic values are undeniably present. Clinicians at Riley Hospital have estimated improvement up to 50 per cent in ambulation of some children following their first outing at Camp Riley. Equally important is the psychological benefit the campers derive from the knowledge that their handicaps are different, perhaps, but no worse than those of their friends at camp. For children whose parents cannot afford the expense of their camping, camperships provided by generous and interested individuals and groups are available through the association offices. No child will be turned away because of lack of funds. Non-denominational religious services are held at camp and. on request of the parents, arrangements will be made to take campers to nearby churches. Application blanks were distributed last week to former campers and sponsoring groups. They will be accepted and processed on a first-come, firstserved basis; therefore a child wishing enrollment in a par-

ticular session should complete and submit his application promptly. Application forms and information about Camp Riley may be obtained from the Riley Memorial Association, 309 Board of Trade Building, 143 North Meridian Street, Indianapolis. Kosciusko County GOP Women Schedule Events Program chairman Mrs. Boyce Howard of Winona Lake and president E. Mazie Alexander of the Kosciusko County Republican Women have planned many events for the next few months. A special program on Wednesday. April 21, in the east room of the Shrine building at the county fair grounds in Warsaw will be a spaghetti supper and a special program. Miss Pauline Jordan, the Warsaw auto branch manager, and Mrs. Frank Putt, Syracuse branch manager, and their coworkers will present the functions of each office. All are to tring either a dish of spaghetti, salad or dessert and her own table service. Carl Zimmer and the county assessor’s office and Garold Horrick and the township assessor’s office will be in charge of the coffee and refreshment tables. Representatives A pot luck dinner will beheld at 6:30p.m. on May 19 in the REMC building with everyone welcome to attend. Coffee will be furnished by William E. Ellis and the county treasurer’s office. Following the dinner the state representatives — Thames L. Mauzy, Arthur Coblentz and Ralph R. Heine — will give a report of the 1971 legislature. It will be opened to questions

pertaining to any of the bills of interest to individuals present at the meeting. State Meeting On Thursday, June 3, the Indiana State Federation of Women’s Republican clubs will be meeting in the Murat Temple at Indianapolis. If the county organization can get enough interested women to participate a bus will be chartered for the trip. Those interested should contact either vice chairman Pauline Jordan or president E. Mazie Alexander to make plans for the trip. Another program planned is one of a panel composed of the county commissioners and county council with Berton Retz, superintendent-engineer of the county highway department, as moderator. This meeting will be held June 16 at 7:30 p.m. in the REMC building. Each woman is to take a salad for the salad bar and her own table service. Coffee will be furnished by E. Mazie Alexander and the county recorder’s office. County Committees May Rule On Farm Conserving Bases A producer whose farm conserving base is a limiting factor in operating his farm in line with good management practices may appeal for an adjustment of the base through the end of farm program signup, April 9. Three important provisions will be observed by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) county commitees in adjusting conserving bases for changes in farming operations, according to Scott Horn, chairman of the Kosciusko county ASC committee. They are: . Downward adjustment of a conserving base will be made only upon a determination that farm operations have changed from conserving crops to nonconserving crops in recent years, or in the judgment of the county committee, such a change will be made this year. — Acreage removed from the conserving base will be limited to that determined to be suitable for continuous cropping. — Downward adjustment will not be made to accomodate a farm’s required set-aside -acreage under the 1971 farm, program

U S Army Offers Unit Os Choice To Enlistees The United States Army is now accepting applications from men who wish to serve with some of its most distinguished units, according to SFC Lloyd Andries, Jr., army recruiter for Kosciusko, Fulton and Whitley counties. “Under the terms of a new program which has just been announced,’’ the sergeant said, “Men who qualify may select the Ist Infantry Division, based at Fort Riley, Kans., the 4th Infantry Division. Fort Carson. Colo., the Ist- or 2d Armored Divisions, stationed at Fort Hood, Tex., the 82d Airborne Division, at Fort Bragg N. C., the 197th Infantry Brigade at Fort Bepning, Ga., or the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment at Fort Lewis. Wash.” This option allows a man the opportunity to serve with the unit of his choice in today’s modern army. Young men who wish to enlist for one of these history-making units must meet the normal mental and physical standards for enlistment in the regular army. There are some slightly higher physical standards, however, for these volunteering for the 82d Airborne Division which requires its members to complete airborne training before their assignment to the division.
