Four States Day Camp grows minds near Fairmont
Thirty seven children aged 8 to 14 joined a three day Four States Day Camp at Camp Mar Mac Marion County. The event organized by Consolidation Coal and West Virginia University Extension Service offered hiking swimming arts and crafts folk dancing and a Mr Fixit class under director Linda Widney with staff and volunteers. Grants from Consol funded the camp which aims to broaden learning horizons for mining community youths. WVU received a 58661 NEH grant to compile atlases of U S congressional districts and party distribution from 1789 to 1976 led by Kenneth C Martis of Geology and Geography.
