Can You Tap This?
We are in receipt of a letter this
week, following a paragraph last is-
sue on pen -pals. Ruth Gillman of
]kirougham, Ont, says: Thanks for
the swell column for teen-agers. I
have just finished reading your arti-
cle, "Correspond—It's Worth It", 1
have been writing to pen -pals since
1 was eight years old and after nine
years, I write to exactly 452 differ-
ent people. I write to pen -pals in Ja-
pan, China, Cuba, Philipines, Jamai-
ca, Newfoundland, Hawaii, Malta
and naturally U.S. and Canada. How
about snore articles on pen -pals? AI -
so for anyone who is interested, 1
would be pleased to give them ad-
dresses or send their address to some
of my pen -pals. Can anyone top my
record of pen -pals? I'd be very in-
terested in hearing. --Ruth Gillman,
Brougham, Ontario.
Thanks a lot for the interesting
letter, Ruth and hope to hear from
you again, If any of you kids out
there want a real pen-pal,—well here
you are.
News of the C. N. E.
Seems like a long time since we
pushed our way down the midway at
the good old "Ex", but it's here again
and they sure have plenty of inter-
esting things for teen-agers. In the
automotive building you will find
a section for teen-agers only. They
have a record bar, fashion show and
there will be teen-age broadcasts
conducted from there daily. The
midway will be bigger and better
than ever, and every moment you
have can `be taken up with seeing
something different and something
interesting. Boys and girls who have
an overdose of freckles can get in
the freckle -faced kids competition
and maybe win a little green stuff.
If interested in any of the compe-
titions you should get your entries
in early. Re -placing the nightly pa-
geant which has been a feature of
the C.N.E. for years, will be the
famous Olsen & Johnson comedy
team with the New York cast. Ow-
ing to a mishap at the grandstand,
the nightly pageant had to be sus-
pended •this. year.
He Tells 'Ern,
A clipping of an editorial` appear-
ing in the Moorpark Enterprise of
Ventura County, California, came in
from a reader the other day. The
editorial, headed "What Need of It
All?" concerns the present teen-
age centres that many municipalities
are building, or drawing up plans
for, at the present time The writer
says, and we quote—Twenty-five or
thirty years ago teen-age centres and
places of recreation for youth did
not exist and the youth of that day
grew up as wholesome and well -

fitted for honest worthwhile life as
the namby-pamby, shiftless and
playboy youngsters of the present
day—and so on. He says that build-
ing such places is only admitting
failure to teach and control Children,
and that the handling of the child
is an irkesome job—so let someone
else do it. Brother you have Some-
thing there. (I'll probably hear about
this one. Plans are in the making
for a centre here and maybe we
could lave chosen a better time for
it ---or could we?)
It Could Only Happen to Us
Two Meeks ago we counted 12
mistakes in our column, made up of
typographical errors and misplaced
lines Either the weather was too
hot or the compositor and the proof-
reader were cooling off with—you
know what.
CHRONICLES OF
GINGER FAR
By Gwendoline P. Clarke
• This is the year I've been waiting
for—yes, this is the year—with ber-
ries- in the hush hanging red and
ripe whichever way one looks, We
haven't had such good picking for
several a ears as we are hawing
right now. And believe me,• i am
making the most of it. Everything
else is being neglected, or at most
reduced to minimum requirements.
Any time now I am expecting to
hear sounds of exasperation frc.,l
my menfolk because C am afraid
their supply of mended socks must
be just about exhausted. Probably
they will say—"Darn those socks'
—in which case I too, may say
"Darn those socks" only not quite
with the same meaning.
Of course we are enjoying our
usual run of summer guests—and
I mean enjoy—but they, too, arc
being drawn into my scheming toils
like helpless flies in a spider's web
—my web being the raspberry patch
to which they are enticed and given
a pail and a pair of overalls. I
might add they are rising to the
occasion magnificently.
* *
Last week my sister-in-law and
I made our first visit to the bush.
It was more of an inspection trig
than anything else as I wasn't at
all sure that the berries were ready.
So we wanderer"around in the bush
quite a bit, picking here and there,
but with no intention of staying
very long. At ten -to -six 1 thought
we had better head for home—and
that's where the fun began. Do you
think I could find my Way out .of
that bush! To make matters wore
the sky was overcast so that we
couldn't even tell where the sun
should be. As looking didn't get
us anywhere we started lir,:ening.
We could hear a tractor going not
too far away and then we heard
a car, so we headed hoeat,i ly to-
wards where we thought the car
had passed. Eventually tie est
out but quite a piece from where
our car was parked, so that meant
a nice little walk for me to get it.
:k * *
Ot course when I related our ex-
periences at supper time the men
scoffed at the idea of our being
lost; ridiculed the suggestion that
we really had trouble in finding our
'aay out of the bush—and is any
case thought I was completeiy
crazy. During our wandering I
asked my sister-in-law if she were
scared and what she would do if
we were really lost.
"Nothing at all," she answered,
"I would just sit here until some-
one came to find us. And I cer-
tainly was not scared."
