roups from I Town Boys >f Chicago t for a row lake under j is administered Cowling and Don Ikft M Cam Don McNeill shared his 1952 summer vacation with a hundred boys selected by Boys Clubs of the central region. From July 4 through September 8, ten boys spent each week-end at a camp established by the Breakfast Club toastmaster on a private lake northwest of Chicago. The purpose of the camp was to give city boys an all-expense paid vacation in the country. The boys, 10 to 14 years old, lived in tents and took their meals in a cook house. Each group was accompanied by two adult leaders. Don provided a full program of outdoor ac¬ tivities under the direction of a supervisor. He and his sons spent many hours fishing, swimming, boating and hiking with the boys. All nationalities and religions were represented. The camp will be continued in 1953. Each group attended Breakfast Club to tell the network audience of their experiences and to collect autographs.
