ALL EDITIONS Diabetic children's summer camp enters first season 'Hi J. i i "I 4 1 znr a uw tvr iL! If if tsrv, tics' 4.: vi 1 i By JANE ESTES Judy came bounding home from school and hollered as she swung open the kitchen door, "Mom! Mom! Susan, and Debbie and I want to go to camp together this summer." She waved a camp brochure excitedly in her mother's face. Judy's mother felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She knew that because her daughter had diabetes, Judy was excluded from most camps. She looked at the brochure and found this camp was no exception.

When she tried to explain Judy's joy crumbled into tears. In an attempt to alleviate such situations the Arizona Diabetes Association, itself less than a year old, is creating a first in Arizona, a two-week 29 to Aug. 12) for diabetic boys and girls ages 8 to 13. "We want diabetic children to be able to enjoy a normal camp experience, and also to have better understanding of and control over their affliction," said Phil Edlund, Phoenix attorney and ADA board member. "We don't promise they will come home in better shape, but we they will have a good experience." Edlund wrote to 10 camps in Arizona Inquiring about the use of their facilities.

"We received several responses, but one was overwhelmingly nice. It was from Robert Nichols, an orthopedic surgeon in Los who operates a clinic for children on the Mexican border. He owns Hidden Valley Ranch, at Prescott, where he brings kids to recuperate after he operates on them." Hidden Valley was the choice of ADA. Cabins In the pine trees will shelter 65 campers. There is a lake, an archery range, a swimming pool, a large kitchen, and gentle horses that are used at Castle Hot Springs in the winter.

The cost is $200 for the two weeks, including medical supplies. "There Will be the best medical care available," Edlund said. "A doctor will be at the camp at all times. A company has generously donated insulin and everything that goes with it. We will be two miles from the Prescott hospital.

The dietician will be a specialist in diabetic diet." Edlund said the cost was set as economically as possible. "We realize the price will be too high for some families. Families with diabetic children have much additional expense anyway. We don't know how much we will be able to help such families, but we will do what we can. We hope to get contributions to a camp fund.

The extent to which we help those who need help depends on how much we receive in contributions." Registration deadline is June I. Vacancies will be filled on a first women The ArizoIa Republic come, first serve basis. Applications are available and contributions to the camp fund may be made to the Arizona Diabetes Association, 810 W. Bethany Home Road, Phoenix. Families wishing financial assistance are asked to send a $50 deposit with a letter stating how much they can afford.

No financial statements are requested. All donations to the camping fund are tax deductible. iiiiim Page 121 Thursday, May, 17, 1973 Republic photo by Roy Coswiy It's off to camp from left, Teresa Dozer, 12, Heather Frank, 8, Mike Roberts, 9, and Hillary Frank, 4, who wishes she could.

Among those who will return for the festivities are the Goodwin cousins: Al-verta, Glory and Aurelia; as well as Lucille Curnutt, all friends of many years. Alverta is now Mrs. T. Frank McCluskey of Scottsdale, Glory is Mrs.

W. K. Futerer of Phoenix, and Aurelia is Mrs. Floyd Miller of Tempe, while Lucille Curnutt is Mrs. Robert G.

Adams of Mesa. During senior year at Tempe Normal, Glory was class president fall semester, and second semester president of Zetetic literary society. She also played baseball and volley ball. Alverta, whose mother was an 1897 Tempe Normal graduate, was president of Phi Beta Epsilon education sorority and was a forward on the basketball team which won the state championship. Aurelia, a member of the Zetetic liter-ary society and of the basektball team, later taught in Mesa, at Punkin Center in Tonto Basin, and in Gilbert and Tempe.

Glory taught in Jerome and on the Hawaiian Islands before returning to Phoenix where she has taught at Wilson, Alhambra and Madison schools. Alverta attended the University of Arizona after graduation, and briefly taught in Mesa before getting married. Lucille Curnutt served as YWCA president while she was at Tempe Normal and she was a member of the Clio-nian Society. Unlike the Goodwin girls, who lived at their homes in Tempe while attending school, Lucille came from Globe and she lived in the old East Hall on campus. After graduation she taught in Globe and Scottsdale.

I received a letter this week from a marriage counselor and psychologist in Australia that began, "Dear Sir: I took the liberty of writing to you regarding the tens of thousands of lonely men in Australia who have no chance in life of ever marrying because of the simple fact that there are just not enough women in the country." I hardly got past the "Dear Sir" before I sensed he had a bigger problem than he knew. (But that often happens where men have a dance and nothing but kangaroos show up.) I don't mean to make light of the problem in Australia, but you have to admit it's a unique one. It seems they have an excess of 200,000 marriageable mates between the ages of 20 and 49. IF I SEEM suspicious, it is because I once chose a college because the catalogue made a big deal out of the boy-girl ratio. It seemed there were five men to every woman and on one page were five of the most beautiful men I have ever seen standing around in the tennis courts in white sweaters with a large in front (which stood for virility).

I could hardly wait to enroll. As it turned out my five men included an engineering student who went into a library and didn't come out until four years later; one who was four inches shorter than I am (I am 5' one who told me he was majoring in "tombstones;" one who was preparing for the priesthood; and another who baby-sat his three kids when he wasn't in classes. I used to stand around the student union and say, "Psssst. Hey, Gloria, I'll trade you a dedicated priest and a cemetery freak for one of your men with the on his sweater." THE LETTER from Australia continues, "I was first motivated in writing to you out of concern for the many men who personally contact my practice each week seeking resolvementof their mono-existence and for whom we can do very little, for one reason only we cannot produce women who do not exist Forgive me, but I am still suspicious. There are too many questions left unanswered.

How did all those men get there? Is there Monday night football in Australia? Are these the same men I saw moving west in a Sandra Dee movie? Are they former American walk-outs who went out for a pack of cigarettes one night and never came back? In a quick check of my age bracket (which is somewhere between puberty and paralysis), I noted there are 14,220 eligible men. I don't want to make trouble, but could I see each of them first?

A Polynesian feast and wine plus island entertainment are on the calendar when Paradise Valley Country Club goes Hawaiian for its members May 26. Valley Field Riding and Polo Club was the setting last evening for a cocktail party given by Kitty (Mrs. S. Bloom-hardt aand MM Long for their longtime Phoenix friends. It's that time of year, too, when mountain cottage owners are calendar and weather-watching, driving up to open their summer homes in time for the first long holiday weekend.

There'll be a heavy Influx May 25-28 at Pinetop for the annual opening Memorial Invitational Golf Tournament and all the parties. Les Murray is president of the hosting White Mountain Country Club for another term. Betty and Ron Wynsryg head the social committee this year. Winding up the second term of office as president of Phoenix Symphony Guild was a happy occasion for Jeanne (Mrs. Gary) Herberger.

Under her leadership the women had raised $108,400 this past year. Of this amount, $13,500 has been given to youth projects and $11,000 put in trust for youth projects. A check for $55,000 was presented to Douglas Driggs, president of Phoenix Symphony Association, with a pledge for the remainder of the ball proceeds. This year's ball netted $76,000, the greatest amount in history. So, the annual meeting was a bit of a celebration, as well as time to install Mrs.

James Francis, newest president. Additional highlights were selections on the harp played by the talented scholarship winner this year, Miss Cindy Baker, Central High School, junior who is also a violinist and sings. BRIGHT YELLOW and red tulips In hand-painted watering cans were centerpieces for the luncheon at Scottsdale Hilton, planned by Mrs. Clyde Damron and her mother, Mrs. W.
