Ass’n Are Given for 1939 The quota assigned to Cattaraugus County in the 1939 Christmas Seal ■Campaign was $5,000 and to date $5,400' has been received. Of this amount 5 % is used to support the National Tuberculosis Association and 12i9b for th© work of the State Comjmittee oh Tuberculosis. The greater part of the amount raised in Cattaraugus County is used to pay expenses of County children registering in the camp. In Salamanca the amount raised to March T is $1,049.31. An interesting story about one of the children attending the eamp last summer is as follows; in 1931 a child’s coat made of Christmas Seals was planned and made for Rosalie Drusseau of Fi'anklinville. She appeared in public in the “Seal” coat. -Her picture and an article about the coat ap peared in papers through the Associated Press. The coat was exhibited last year a t the State meeting in New York City and; the Association was cited for an outstanding exhibit. -Rosalie Drusseau came to camp last year and spent a very happy summer. Chairman W. H. Shearman and Vice Chairman A, J, Crowley announce that contributions received to Septenuber 1, 1940 will be considered a part of the 193-9 iSeal Sale. Mr. Shearman says that it IsVever too late to send contributions to the Seal Sale but “we do appreciate receiving your con tributions in the spring as some of the funds are used to support the Health Camp.” The Cattaraugus County Health Camp has been -one of the successful projects which the Cattaraugus County Tuberculosis and Pliblic Health Association has carried on since 1923. At that time the Association camp was located on the Rocky Crest road near Glean. The equipment of the camp is very modern including electric lights, a state-inspected water sys tem with hot and cold water, shower baths, and the Pancher pool for the childi-en to swim in. The estimated value of this equipment is $16,000. The schedule for the 1939 camping season was: July 1 to 8—Pres'bsrterian Young People’s Conference—120. July 8 to 16—‘Bluebird Camp—‘70. (July 16 to August 6—^American Legion Auxiliary -Children’s Camp— 68. August 6 to 24—'Cattaraugus County Children’s Health Camp-—103. August 24, 25, 26, 27—Homemakers’ Camp—131. August 27 to September 1—Junior Service League .Girls’ Camp—61. The children had th^ benefit of counselors trained to supervise groups, teach swimming, vocational work and carry on a program of recreation patterned after programs in camps which cost from 12 to 18 dollars a week, some of the best camps in the country. Our Health Camp is the only camp in the 'County that cares for boys and girls from 6 to 12 years of age. The children are carefully selected by the county nurses from the Department of Health, school nurses, a select group from the County Wel fare Department, under-privileged children who otherwise would not bo able to attend any camp. The list includes those needing outdoor life, in struction and ibenefits from well-<balanced meals and health-haibit training. (In 1939, 103 children were registered. Of this number, '89 children stayed during the entire camping period. Ninetynsix children made ar ticles to take home with them including Indian tom-toms made from No. 10 tin cans and rubber inner tubing; boats; kerchiefs; wooden bookends; bracelets of twine; sponge toys; necklaces of colored straw, and nature scrap books; 98 children participated in campfire programs ;8 children celebrated birthdays during the camping period; 12 contributed to the camp newspaper (there were 2 newspapers run by the children and mime ographed during the camping period) ; a rest period of 1 ^ hours was scheduled for each day; children running a temperature had a rest hour in the morning as well as in the afternoon; 36 children learned to swim; 70 improved in swimming and 10 were awarded prizes for the m-ost improve ment in swimming; 23 nature hikes were held during the period. Among the interesting things carried out in nature study were: (Professor Aretas Saunders of the School -of Natural Histoi-y, Allegany State Park, talked to the children of the Cattaraugus County Health Camp on Tuesday evening, August 8, 1939. Professor Saunders, who is an au thority on bird life, imitated the calls of many birds and told the children how to identify the birds that they might see in the park. A spotted salamander was found near the Cattaraugus 'County Health Camp by Carl Carlson of Glean, one of the health campers. Carl was ex ploring the woods near the camp when he found it. He turned over an unusual stone and was surprised to see the salamander underneath. The lizard is rarely found in the park area. It is nine inches long. Its body is black. On its back are prominent yellow spots. The salamander was presented to the museum of the Allegany School of Natural Science as the school did not have one of this type in its collection. Students of the school said the lizard is non-poisonous. Monday, August 21 was observed as “Nature Day”. Rufus H. LeFevre, Allegany State Park Naturalist, directed the activities of the day. Which included nature hikes for the health campers during the morning and aft ernoon and a talk on natural phenomena at the health camp’s evening program. Nineteen camp fires and stunt nights were held during the camping per iod, some were held out-of-doors around a eamp fire and some in the large recreational ball before the fire-place. 'The daily camp menus were all balanced meals with 3,000- calories per child per day. The amount of food consumed for the entire period is an interesting item: on 5 hikes, picnic lunches were served. 1,760 quarts of milk were consumed by .the health campers, 1 quart of milk per child per day. 950 loaves -of bread, 200 pounds of butter and margarine, 900 pounds of cereal. Fresh or canned fruit was served for at least 2 meals a day. The greatest gain in weight for the boys was made by Edward Skudlarek, of 3 pounds, the girl—Jennie Zbink -of iSalamanea 6 V 2 -pounds. The children -were weighed once a week. A full-time registered nurse was on duty day and night. A doctor was on call and visited the camp 3 times a week, inspecting the children whom the nurse recommended for special inspection. Another special feature was the visit of the Cattaraugus County Amer ican Legion with the County officers accompanied by the American Leg ion Band of Salamanca, on July 23. Mrs. Lee Armstrong, county presi dent, and Ben Kysor, county commander of the American Legion, present ed a flag given by the Auxiliary and the American Legion. Mrs. Finch, camp director, accepted the flag. A program of band music by the Amer ican Legion Band -af Salamanca, talks by the officers, the dedication and acceptance of the flag by the camp director proved to be a patriotic cer emony. Refreshments were iserved by the camp director and counselors in the -children’s pavilion. .(This story on the activities of the Cattaraugus 'County Tuberculosis and Public Health Association will be edncluded next week.)

POETRY WITH A ‘RING’ The New York man, A. M. Sullivan, who is the new president of the Poetry Society of America, was quoted recent ly as saying that “the only prose ever written is in the dictionary, the tele phone book, and the city directory,” His statement is disputjsd, as far as the telephone book is concerned, by a Staten Island man, as follows: “So? Wasn’t it the poet Pope who sang, T lisped in numbers, for the numbers came’? Moreover^ tha numbers are lines that ring. And they nre metered and frequently SQahned. The telephone company is'considered well versed in its job.” _ TELEPHONES IN STATE OUTSIDE OF N. ¥. CITY REACH RECORD TOTALS Bat General Figures Stil) Below Peak Attained 9 Years Ago; , Majority in Homes New York State began the year 1940 with some 2,618,000 telephones served by the New York Telephone Company — larger total than since the early months of 1931. The number is still 78,600 below the maximum reached in 1930. The lowest of the past ten years was about 2,280,000, in August, 1933. Of the company’s total in this State, 948.000 of about 36 per cent are in use outside of New York City. This is the largest such total ever shown. It is in fact almost 120,000 more than were in service outside of the metropolis when the company’s general total was at its highest in 1930. The gain in the number of tele phones in recent years, as indicated by these figures, has therefore, been- proportionately greater elsewhere in the State than in New York City. Residence telephones exceed busi ness telephones in this State by a slight margin. The New York Tele phone Company reports that it serves approximately 1,378,000 telephones in homes, and 1,240,000'In stores, facto ries, offices and other places of com mercial or professional character. Omitting New York City figures, however, residence telephones in this State outnumber business, telephones by considerably more than two to one. The figures'In this respect are some 652.000 home telephones and 296,000 business. About 12,542^000 calls are made on an average day from Bell telephones in this State. This number includes New York City’s average of around 8.166.000 a day. Connecting New York State tele phones-with their more than 600 cen tral offices, and with the “outside world” by way of toll and long dis tance lines, are approximately 14,560,- 000 miles of wire. About 71 per cent of this mileage Is undergi ound, and all but about 1 per cent is enclosed in pro tective cable. ORLANDO Mrs. H. A.
