SANTIAGO, Chile In December, Gary and I began to consider the idea of having a summer day camp in San Gre hostelry chairman of the Iowa Moose association and is an honorary past state president. From 1947 to 1950, Chayka served as international convention manager of the supreme lodge, leaving Mooseheart to serve as secretary and manager of the Sioux City lodge until he Area Veterans Hospitalized Four Muscatine area men are now patients at the Veterans' hospital, Iowa City.

As we had no resources (excepting the use of the building in San Gregorio), we decided to first give puppet shows and secondly, to give a dance in order to raise money.

With the help of members of Muscatine Moose Class To Honor Bernard Chayka Muscatine lodge. Loyal Order of Moose, will enroll a class of new members and honor Bernard Chayka, a Muscatine native who is director of Moose heart and Moosehaven homes for the young and the aged, here next Saturday.

Saturday at the Moose home, 112 West Second street. A ham dinner will be served. Dancing will follow to complete the day's activites. At Mooseheart and Moose haven, Chayka handles all applications. He was educated in the parochial schools of Muscatine and joined the Muscatine Moose lodge in 1926.

He was secreary and club manager of the lodge from 1940 to 1947. On the state level, he served at BERNARD CHAYKA returned to assume his present position in 1954. A past governor of the Muscatine lodge, Chayka is a member of the Century division of the 25 club and has the Pilgram degree of merit, the highest honor conferred by the fraternity. He is also an honorary past north moose of the Mississippi Valley Legion of the Moose. Prior to entering administrative work for the Moose lodge, Chayka managed and operated hotels for 15 years in Chicago, Cleveland, Omaha, Cedar Rapids and Marshalltown.

Garv and I gave "Caperucita Roja" or "Little Red Riding Hood" as our first puppet show. We cmori th winivalent of 2.5 cents for admission and it was a huge success.

Susan is a sophomore at the University. The band's program, to begin at 8 p.m.

in North Music Hall, will include selections ranging from Gaelic folk songs to a medley from Rodgers' and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma." The concert will be open to the public and no tickets will be required. Composed largely of student musicians outside the of I School of Music, the Hawkeye Concert Band includes players of wind and percussion instruments who are not members of the University marching bands.

As we still needed con siderable more money, we decided to give a dance. My Mothers' club cooperated with me in baking cakes to sell during the dance.

From a downtown supermarket we obtained a' donation of food and from other merchants we also received donations. Fund Raising Success By Feb. 5 we were prepared. During the dance, which started at 10 p. we held dance contests, raffles and also' had amusements such as ring toss games.

By 5 a. m. we had earned 200 escudos, or $50, which was more than our highest expectations. On Feb. 14 (the opening date of the camp) we had enrolled 44 children.

Adults who helped us during the camp included three Peace Corps volunteers, three Boy Scouts from San Gregorio, two American women and five American Boy Scouts. Our camp terminated March 4 and met on. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a. m. to 5 p.

m. It was for children to 12 years old. With food from CARE, supplemented with vegetables bought from the camp fund, we were able to give the children a glass of milk and a healthful soup every day. They each brought a little bread and some fruit with them. In the morning we played games such as dodge ball and in the afternoons we had manual arts.

This included such projects as masks, fingerpainting and weaving. I believe it was the most popular aspect of the program, which is certainly understandable, as mediums of expression for children are severely limited in San Gregorio. I have never observed a child who had a crayon of his let alone a pencil and a paper. After manual arts the children ate their lunch and then we usually showed movies, sang or danced. On Fridays we took trips, which included a trip to the swimming pool, one to the zoo and one to the airport.

But Strike The zoo trip was especially harrowing as there was a bus strike that very morning, but with the help of some wonderfully resourceful American women we made it safely to the zoo and back in their cars. Of the trips, however, by far the most popular was the trip to the airport. Not on of tha children had ever seen an airplane at close rang before and it was an indescribable thrill for I them. Personnel at the airport was very kind and helpful. The children were shown through two airplanes, allowed to sit in the seats, fasten safety belts, visit the cabin and, best of all, they were each given a Coke! Some, however, were disappointed that we weren't able to "fly around a bit" and wouldn't believe my explanation that we simply couldn't afford it! March 4, the last day of our camp, left us with a good feeling of having accomplished, something worthwhile in broadening the horizons of these Cbor0.
