Day Campers
Design Bird Houses
For Zaban Park
Ajecomce Day Campers are
now in the process of designing
imaginative and “far out” bird
houses. The camp is filled with
paste, scissors and colored paper
as the campers busily create
some humorous and decorative
bird houses, using paper sculp
ture for their first sketches.
Upon completion of the models,
the group of designs will be
judged by Polly Marson, Cul
tural Arts Director, and Donna
Piassick, Ajecomce Arts and
Crafts Instructor. First, second
and third prizes will be award
ed on the basis of orginality.
The design winning first prize
will be executed in paint and
wood and will have a perma
nent place of honor at the beau
tiful new camp.

With Bobby Cain in Israel
Dear Mr. Fierman:
We have now completed our
first overnight trip. On our way
to Tel Aviv we stopped and saw
the ruins of a crusader castle
and a cave where there was
once a monastary. We also saw
the old Roman and Byzantine
ruins at Askalon and drove to
the Weizman Institute in Reho-
vat. I called my cousins and saw
them again (I am now back with
them in Rehovot.)
By this time we were very
tired and drove straight to our
hotel in Ramat Gam just out
side of Tel Aviv. After supper
we drove into town and walked
up and down the Dizendoffer
Street. I did not like Tel Aviv
at all. It has many shops for
tourists and many cafes that
charge double the price in Jeru
salem. It is very noisy and
crowded and there is nothing to
see or do except night clubs. We
toured much of the surrounding
area of Tel Aviv and went
TWEENS GO TO
IDA CASON
GARDENS
The Tweens second all day
trip is scheduled for Tuesday,
August 20, to Ida Cason’s Gard
ens.
A private bus will pick the
group up at 8:30 a.m. at the
Center and return to the Center
at 2:30 p.m.
There will be a limit of 40
tweens on registration so call
the Center immediately for
reservations.
The busfare will be $1.80 and
entrance to the beach and bath
house will be $1.00 for those
over 12 and 45c for under 12.
Bring a lunch. All refreshments
and amusements will be paid as
each child chooses.
A Luau for Tweens
• •
At Zaban Park
On Tuesday, August 13, the
Tweens will be having their
final affair. It is a Luau Costume
Party to be held at Zaban Park
—the Ajecomce Day Camp Site
on Tilly Mill Road.
All Tweens will meet at Za
ban Park pool and bath house
at 4:00. The theme of the evening
is of Hawaii and Tweens should
dress accordingly. Bring a pic
nic dinner and drinks will be
available for 10c each.
The evening will consist of
swimming, dancing, and enter
tainment.
Tweens are to be picked up
promptly at 7:30 at Zaban Park.
swimming at a town called
Herzlia.
In the afternoon, we drove to
Jaffa and saw the port and the
old Arab city. It Ls very dirty
here but I have seen as bad in
Atlanta and New York. Jaffa
was more interesting to me than
Tel Aviv. At night we returned
to the downtown area and walk
ed around. I was with some girls
last night and about eight boys
came up and began talking to
us. They look like they just came
out of West Side Story, but they
were very nice. We mentioned
they looked like West Side
Story, and they agreed with us,
and began singing “Everything
is nice in America.” These boys
have good lines for the Ameri
can girls, but the Israeli girls
do not go for American boys.
Through relatives is the only
way for the boys to meet girls
here. I am going to a party here
in Rehovot tomorrow. It should
be very interesting.
Bobby
To Funtown
With the Tweens
By DIANE ROBERTS
On Tuesday, July 30, the
Tweens on Wheels left the Cen
ter at 7:00 p.m. on a bus head
ed for Funtown. When we ar
rived there we divided into two
groups and the chaperone of
each group announced where
and when to meet so that all
the tween could have the chance
to ride any or all ride they
choose.
There were refreshments and
the tweens had their pictures
taken and generally enjoyed the
evening.
We got back to the Center at
10:00, a little tired but very
happy.

the Center Players. Presently
he is planning workshops, the
