THE BOYS' LIFE BRIGADE ' - [To the Editor of
the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—May I be allowed to appeal to your readers on behalf of the Camp Fund for the London Division of the Boys' Life Brigade ? There is no need for me to stress the value of a camp holiday to boys who are engaged in factories and shops throughout the year. But for the camps arranged .fiy our Companies the majority of the lads would not have an oppor- tuaity of going away ; the ordinary holiday is beyond their means. Moreover, it would not provide the comradeship which prevails in camp, and the valuable open-air life. In all cases the boys contribute to the cost, but this leaves a large amount still to be raised by other means. Whereas before the War it was comparatively easy to obtain a site free of charge, now it is usual to make some payment, and, in addition, the cost of the hire of equipment has greatly increased. Any sums which your readers can send will be gratefullyacknowledged by The Secretary of the London Division, Boys' Life Brigade,
56 Old Bailey, London, E.C. 4.—I am, Sir, &c., .
GEO. H. C901f.
