NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH [CAMP LEGION] Part 2
Description
The original catalog description provided by the Ford Motor Company reads as follows: “In every community there are countless numbers of boys who, each year, step hopefully into a world that is unprepared to receive them. One man has put into action a plan that successfully meets this problem. This is a film story of that plan…the pictorial unfolding of a program that has for its end the greatest work in the world…the spiritual, physical and material wellbeing of youth.” Aerial views of 320 acre Camp Legion near Dearborn - new boys receive assignments - group of boys walking toward building - bugler - boys waking up, making up beds inside tent, and walking down steps - aerial views of chapel - chapel - two boys at podium - boys sitting in chapel - boys in pews singing hymns - boys drill and tap trees, pour sap into buckets, place buckets in tractor pulled wagon - tractor pulls up to sugar house - view of processing sap into maple syrup - boys at breakfast pouring syrup on pancakes - boys drive tractors to field - boys and tractors work in field - boy pours seed potatoes into tractor pulled potato planter bin - planting seed potatoes - boys in kitchen prepare dinner - close-up of boys eating - tents and tractors alongside road - boy with guitar in tent - boys playing softball - boys with the camp mascot, a crow.
