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. How
about more articles on'pen-pals? Al-
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 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. Ow-
ing to a mishap at the grandstand,
the nightly pageant had to be sus-
pended this year.

A clipping of an editorial appear-

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

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_

right now.; And believe nae, 1 ata

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."

Sure Protection
More than good general health is
needed to ward off the communic-
able diseases. Doctors say that, al-
though disease is less likely to at-
tack •a healthy person than one in
poor condition; such protection asin-
oculation, vaccination and other
forms of immunization is essential,
particularly for children.
As children go back to school this
Fall, medical authorities count on
parents ensuring their safety by tak-
ing advantage of all the special
scientific protective measures.
