HONG KONG—European pas sengers were among those terror ized and robbed when the Chinese steamer Taishun was seized i Swatow, Saturday, by pirates who disguised themselves as passen gers, overpowered the crew ard sailed the ship for nearly twenty- four hours, at night without lights, and finally left the boat at the mouth of n small creek- When the pirates left the boat, they transferred to a small boat, loot valued at more than sixty different boys could be cared for. If the boy's changed every two weeks, then 336 boys could be given the £>ys and the benefits of this camp. It is hoped though that ns many of the Athens boys will register for six weeks as can pos sibly arrange to go. The rdtes of this Y. camp for Athens boys and girls is only about one-third to one-half as much a* is charged by the private camp* Every Athens boy and girl pays a camp fee of $5 00 as an entrance or camp fee. This fee goes to the camp committee to help maintain the camp during the year- The caretaker’s salary, the fire insur ance on the buildings, which by the way is $120.00 premium each year, and the repairs are paid out of this camp fee. All out of town campers pay a $10-00'camp fee. The weekly camp expenses are for Athens boys $10-00, and for Athens girls $12.50. Out of town boys pay weekly $12.50. and out of town girls 15-00. This slight dif ference is due to tbe'fdet that the salaries of those in charge as well as the preliminary expenses of working up the camp are borne by the Athens Y. M. C. A- and Y. W. C.<A. Then the camp has been de veloped with Athens money. Not only is this camp so much cheaper than the private, commer cial camps, but is only in actual money from about three to five dollars per week more than what it costa a boy to camp on the river bank or in the woods in the most primitive way. with but little Hi the Y.

The attention of parents is called to this fact—that it costs from about $4.00 to $15.00 per week to keep a boy at home anyway—when everything is figured in the Y. camp is not $10 00 per week in ad- ‘dition to what you are now spend ing each week on your boy-—sub tract what you are now paying to keep him at home, and the differ ence/ if any, is what you will have to pay out- And some parents will actually save money by send.
