Lodges Requested to Assist in Development of Citizens' Camp Idea

William J. Sinek, Exalted Ruler of Chicago (III.) Lodge, No. 4, is a member of a committee of prominent Chicago citizens whose aim is to give wide publicity to our government training camps. One of the means of attracting special attention to the movement will be a large base ball over seven feet in diameter which will be rolled from coast to coast by Citizens' Military Training Camp students and Boy Scouts. Brigadier-General George Van Horn Moseley and Mayor William E. Dever of Chicago are also members of the Committee which officially starts the ball. In a letter sent out to various Lodges, Mr. Sinek asks for the cooperation of the Lodges in cities that will be visited en route. The ball will be rolled in front of the Home of each Lodge and Captain G. H. Maines of Flint (Mich.) Lodge, No. 222, will accompany it on its journey.
