As the average attendance is about 12, we only work alternate weeks, from 10 to 12 in the forenoons and 2 to 4 in the afternoon. In the morning, active games are enjoyed in what is the skat- ing area in the winter. This is followed by a story and sing- song. The latter is usually led by Cathy or me but occasionally a child volunteers to sing alone. If time permits, we may have a few minutes play activity outside. Most of the afternoon session is devoted to art, which is held in the committee room. Should we complete our assignment be- fore 4 pm, we enjoy another sing- song and game. To prepare for Summer School, I had to take a one-week course at Camp Kee-Mo-Kee. I have found the work very interesting. 28-0Z.

Knowing that the editor, Mr. Batten, was coming down, I made no arrangements at this end for pictures. Meeting him in the afternoon with his camera, I just couldn't understand why there were no pictures to go with my coverage. It wasn't until talking to Mr. Batten on the phone Thursday that I learned that something went wrong in the developing of his pic- tures and they all came out blank. No doubt he, too, was very dis- appointed.
