Dr. Nyaradi Asks Youth To Combat Communism PEWAUKEE "This country is doomed to hunger, starvation, prison camps, concentration camps and slave labor, unless the young people of today are ready to sacrifice in its interest and believe and support the principles upon which it was founded," Dr. Nicholas Ny- aradi told members of the fl.954 graduating class at Pewaukee.

In his native Hungary, from which he and his wife were forced to flee when the Communists took it over, people had much the same attitude as he observes here, he said. They were carefree, happy and unconcerned, believing in the safety of their government and their military forces.

Takes Leading Role to Entertain All Groups Camp Sidney Cohen Is Pioneering In Experimental Summer Program By POLLY MCNULTY DELAFIELD The driveway leading from the main road to Camp Sidney Cohen is narrow and dark, so dark that almost no light penetrates the colonnade of cedars tightly lining either side. Presently, however, the journey in darkness is over. The clearing at the beginning of camp is sunny and cheerful a patch of land, high on a bluff overlooking Upper Nemahbin lake, that has come to symbolize hope and happiness to scores of the aged, underprivileged and handicapped of Milwaukee and Milwaukee county. Run as a red feather project, Camp Sidney Cohen in the last five years has played a lead role in experimental camping.

It has been host to Golden Age clubs, groups of mentally retarded children, Goodwill Industries and classes from the Wisconsin State College Laboratory school of Milwaukee. Scout and church groups of all kinds enjoy the hospitality of the camp; every race and nationality is accepted. During his four years as director, Bob Gilbert has never been more pleased with the results of an. experimental camping session than he was with the 10 diabetic girls who last summer he believes became the first in the nation to attend camp with normal children. "We wanted to prove these kids were human, and we did," Gilber said.

"The experiment had been worked with boys before, but nev er with girls. They did everythin the other kids did and often bet George Hoalt, caretaker, helps David Kahn find worms for fishing ter. And don't children didn't think the norma get just as mucl out of the experiment." The project was so successfu that it will be repeated the las two weeks of regular camp this summer, from Aug. 20 to Sept. 3 A special nurse and dietician again will live at camp and a doctor wil out each day from Milwau ee.

Camp Sidney Cohen also has been a pioneer in its family camp- ng program, such as the one at tended by 100 people Memorial day week end.

This 'is according to the official Herd Improvement Regisfry record released by The American Guernsey Cattle club. "Sue" was a seven year-old and was milked 610 times while on test.

"Sue" is the daughter of the outstanding Guernsey sire, Norscot's Cavaliera Bandit, that has 10 tested daughters in the Performance this low cost plan is made to order for families wishing to ge closer to nature and each other. "The daily schedule is very flexi ble." Gilbert explained. "We let them relax and do as they please yet it's definitely organized." Eve nings there are carnpfires and songs and audience participation shows. During the day the waterfront is available in warm enough weather or family campers use the nature and arts and crafts shops. Hikes are the most popular with city people, and getting acquainted with other families takes a good deal of the time.

One of the most fruitful camping experiments was the school camping held last week for 5th and 6th Register of The American Guernsey Cattle club. This record was supervised University of Wisconsin.

Classes included much conservation work: Trips to the Delafielc fish experimental station, a turkey farm and a stone quarry; a picnic at Gushing Park and a tour of one of the Pabst farms, and numerous hikes, outdoor sketching classes and carnpfires. The highlight of the week was a visit to the Battle Creek one room schoolhouse where, in addition to attending classes, the city children tied the rural students in a baseball game during recess. Golden Age clubs arc surprisingly easy to superintend during their day-long camping sessions, Gilbert has found.
