Can You Top This? We are in receipt of a letter this week', following a paragraph last is- sue on pen -pals. Ruth Gillman of Brougham, Ont, says: Thanks for the swell column for Seen-agers. 1 have just finished reading your arti- cle, "Correspond—It's Worth ft". 1 have been writing to pen -pals since I was night years old and after nine years, I write to e>2actly 452 differ- ent people. 1 write to pen -pals in Ja- pan, China, Cuba, Philipincs, Jamai- ca, Newfoundland, Hawaii, Malta and naturally U.S. and Canada.

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 arc. News of the C. N. E. Sccros 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.

A clipping of an editorial appear- ing in the Moorpark Enterprise of Ventura County, California, carne 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 tip 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 - ROOMS BEAUTIFULLY FURNISHED $1.50 up HOTEL r ETROPOLE NIAGARA PALLS OCP. - C.N.R.

CHRONICLES OF GINGER FARM 13y Gwendoline P. Clarke This is the year I've been waiting for—yes, this is the year—with ber- ries in the bush hanging red and ripe whichever way one looks. We haven't had such good picking We_ several,7egrs as we are having right now.; And believe nae, 1 ata 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 Errol my menfolk because 1 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 seamier guests—and I mean enjoy—but they, too, are being drawn into my scheming toils like helpless flies in a spider's web —nay web being the raspberry patch to which they are enticed and given a pail and a pair of overalls. I plight 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 trta than anything else as 1 wasn't at all sure that the berries were ready. So we wandered 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 the had better head for home—ani that's where the fun began. Do you think I could find my way out of that bushl To make matters wore the sky was overcast so that we couldn't even tell where the sun should be. Am looking didn't get us anywhere we started listening. We could (tear a tractor going not too far away and then we heard a car, so we headed boas: a ly to- wards where we thought the ear had passed. Eventually ne ;ct out but quite a piece from where our car was parked so that ameant a nice little walk for me to get it. Of course when d 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 way out of the bush—and In any case thought I was completely crazy. During our wandering I asked my sister-in-law if she were seared and what she would do if we were really lost. "Nothing at all," she answered, "1 would just sit here until some- one came to find us, And I ccr- Minty was not scared." :k * * Since that trip there have been Young Actress r9 D Allnlrer to l'revior6v r nruie OIN( ENACT b t E RNi 'A 1 OLLS53"AT11 RS S IDIIV Rp I 7.' o FGN HORIZONTAL VERTICAL NI 1 AN N 1 Pictured child 1 Tangle screen star, 2 Operatic solo 3Send in 11 Exist payment 12 British school 4 Peruse 5 Et cetera 1324 hours ,(ab.) 14 Duration 6 2000 pounds 18 Skin disease 7 Individuals 17 Mercury (ab) 8 Perfect 0 Aristocrat 18 Pointed a 10eYork New York weapon City (ab.) 20 Rob 15 Send forth 22 Point 17 Encounter 23 Relative (a b.) 19 Food 29 Palm lily 25 Near 26 Tungsten (ab.) 27 Negative 29 Standard of value 30 Age 32 Bargain events 34 Listens 38 Os 137 Dislike intensely t40 Sneer 42 Beverage 43 Smell 49 Born 43 She is one of the youngest S CE sTR T AM R5 H O A N T ALM iA N T OPTS ,N,,,NC NC eF U.S. ARMY 80 et DIVISION NilN T DE EE RP I T ONE T �N TR 5 E R I E 5 TA N - N connoisseur 21 One who trains 26 Story 28 Verbal 29 Saddle pad 31 Sports stadium 32 Individual L E O ID EEs S iAD,AM L.4 SRO ER I Ar`.PEC ND MARIG song 33 Performance 34 Flock 35 Soothsayer '36 Exclamation 38 Excitement 39 Also 41 Things (Latin ) Has 'trilty' Look—Screen act- ress Kyle MacDonnell goes on - the gold standard as she mod- els a two-piece bathing suit of gold metallic thread in Holly- wood.
