Show Children Gain In Physical Condition After a most succesful season, the Christmas Seal Health Camp, which has been conducted by the Utah Tu- , berculosis Association closed August 17th. The children returned home smiling and happy after their six weeks' sojourn in the mountains, in a 100 per cent better physical condition condi-tion than when they entered the Camp on July 9th. Each child has kept an individual record of the gains made at the camp and it was found that an average pain of six pounds had been made by the children. The largest individual record gained was 13 pounds. The parents of the children were sent a letter outlining the daily schedule of the camp in order to promote as far as possible the continuance of the habits formed at the camp. Some - credible handicraft and art work has been accomplished by the youngsters. Among the articles made are a breakfast set and benches fashioned from fruit crates, bird houses, wooden toys, art plagues, book ends, luncheon napkins, and posters. A display of these articles niMl ha mnHn at the State Fair bv the Utah Tuberculosis Association. Plans have been made to follow up the children who were selected this i year from Salt Lake City, Ogden, Logan, Layton, Richfield and Provo. In view of the success of the Camp this 'year it is planned to enlarge it next and include children from other sections of the state. The expenses of the Camp have beeh.tief rayed from proced5'-:of the annual Christmas Seal Sale. |
