AN OPEN LETTER TO 
CANOEISTS 
T HE following letter tcr'lhe canoeists 
of America, especially to those who 
are members of the American Canoe 
Association, has been sent out by Com¬ 
modore A. F. Saunders: 
Fellow Members, A. C. A.; 
The thirty-ninth annual meet of the 
American Canoe Association will be held 
at Sugar Island, St. Lawrence River, open¬ 
ing at noon, Friday, August oth, and clos¬ 
ing at noon, August 23rd.- 
A large number of our members are 
serving with the colors at the front and 
before the war is over many more will 
surely go. It is up to us at home to back 
them up with every ounce of life and en¬ 
ergy that we possess. They expect us to 
keep the home fires burning, they expect 
us to keep the old association together. 
They do not want the camp fire to die out; 
they expect to find it still burning brightly 
when they return home victorious. 
I have received a number of letters from 
our A. C. A. boys in the Army and in 
the Navy. They all say the same thing, 
“Keep the paddle swinging and the camp 
fire lit. We shall come hack home hungry 
for those good old times with the A. C. 
A.” So again I say. it is up to us at home 
to keep things going. 
The demands of war will become harder 
and harder upon us all as time goes on. 
We must keep ourselves physically fit to 
meet them. We should give as much time 
to healthful exercise in the open as can 
be spared. 
These tw r o weeks of camp life and 1 
healthful exercise at Sugar Island will cer¬ 
tainly better fit those of us who can get 
arvay, to serve our country in whatever 
capacity we are called upon. 
The Regatta Commitee under Chairman 
A. E. Ireland will arrange a racing pro- : 
gram that will in every way prove inter¬ 
esting and worth while. Although none of 
the regular A. C. A. Trophies will be of¬ 
fered this year, or until the war is over, 
and all may compete, suitable prizes will 
he awarded those winning the events sched¬ 
uled. 
One day of the meet will be devoted to 
the dedication of an A. C. A. Service Flag. 
We are all proud of the large number of 
our members in service, several of whom 
have already given their lives in battle, 
that we may continue to live as free men. 
The usual boat and mail service will be¬ 
come effective the day camp opens, and 
Capt. Kenney advises me that he has a 
new and larger “Yennek” in service this 
year. 
There will be a general mess at camp j 
conducted by Mr. J. D. Cook; also the 
camp store will be open carrying the usual 
stock of provisions and camp supplies. 
It is my sincere hope that every member 
who can possibly get away will attend the 
meet at Sugar Island. It is up to the old 
members this year to rally round the red 
and white burgee and keep the camp fires 
going. Our boys at the front expect it. 
So come, you cannot have a cheaper or 
better vacation anywhere. 
Canoeably yours, 
A. F. Saunders, Commodore.
