Sir:
I noticed with interest your article on the installation of a Kosher mess at a camp for Scouts in Illinois.
May I bring to your artention that the ? Y.M.H.A has for the past five years, conducted a kosher mess for its own Jewish boys at Camp Weygadt in the heart of Delawaare Water Gap. This is the official Boy Scout camp of Easton, Pa., and a large territory surrounding it.
This kosher mess was made possible by the Secut executives who granted us the privillage of a sepurate piot of ground, besides Loaning us a large mess tent.
This year the Scout executives granted us permission to conduct a junies and ranger camp for boys under 13, in the victinity of the kosher mess hull. These boys were also accommoduted at the Scouts kosher mess.
