Fresh Air children to arrive in Middletown July 13
On July 13, 50 children aged five to 12 will depart New York City by chartered bus for the Middletown area as part of the Fresh Air Fund. About 16,000 children nationwide will spend two weeks in the country to experience life beyond ghetto surroundings. Mrs. Reader, Middletown Area Fresh Air chairman, hopes the visits show a different life and spur ambitions. She has hosted Carl, a 10 year old from East Harlem, for five years and expects him back this season. The Fresh Air Family provides home, bed, food, and entertainment while the Fund covers health care and liability. The Middletown chapter aims to host 50 children.
