timidity, you mustn't do that!'. has
been supplanted by the sane doctrine
that the way to do anything safely is
to do it we'll.
The final reason why many children
miss the joys of camping is because
their parents don't understand its
value; but that, fortunately, is rapidly
being corrected. They're coming to
realize that the camp can be a most
powerful educational medium in the
development of a child.
Joshua Lieberman, authority in the
field of creative camp technique. sums
up the whole story when he says.
More than any other institution, a
camp can be child-size community
with countless opportunities for the
creative expression of childhood in
terests. and can provide social
organization in which each may func-
ton effectively on the level OF his
development"
Sugar coat all that with fun, and
it's no wonder the youth of America
clamors to camp out" by the millions!

WQHoUGH one often hears of dogs
that howl when the piano is
played and of seals that learn to
give trumpet solos. musical cat is
comparatively rare. Having been the
owner for several years of melody
enthusiast called Mollie the Maltese, l
know that some cats have remark
able appreciation of the musical arts.
We did not realize the full scope of
Mollie's tastes when we first brought
her into the household Our purpose in
going to the Bide-a-Wee Home had
been to adopt a young black tomcat.
We returned with Mollie, who. besides
being silvery gray. carried her FEM
ininity to the extent of eventually pro-
ducing more than five dozen kittens.
When we saw her in the large
general cage, her tail was curled
primly around her silvery legs and she
was looking at her fellow inmates with
an expression that would have fitted
very we'll behind diamond-studded
lorgnette. From the first moment we
saw her, there was no doubt in the
world that she belonged to US.
Mollie didn't take to her new family
at once. For several days she regarded
us with the same disdainful look she
had used so witheringly at the Bide-
a-Wee Home. 1t was not, in fact. until
she heard my husband whistle that she
decided we might be worth knowing.
Whenever he catered to her love Of
melody, she would follow the family
whistler around with as rapt an ex-
preston as can be achieved by a face
covered with hair and bristles.
Every evening. just before bedtime.
she would settle on my husbands
knee for her goodnight concert.
