Notes jotted down in big hurry
and, therefore, more or less at ran
dom-on the eve of a two-week va
cation:
Stanley Levy's story of Bob See
husens swim from Camp Theodore
Roosevelt to North Beach suggests
an interesting possibility. You boys
and girls who are mentioning in the
various camps scattered through the
Washington area-Why don't you
write up the more unusual activi-
ties OF your campmates? You can
find plenty of worth while story ma
terial in any camp, if you'll just keep
your eyes and ears open and your
pen, pencil or typewriter ready for
action. Read STAINS yarn, then try
your hand at digging up something
just as interesting.

OF course, camp stories need not
be confined to swimmers and SWIM
ming. They can cover any phase. of
camp life, just so they involve the
activities of real boys and girls and
are written in way that will in
terest other young people Such
stories will be eligible for the cash
prizes in our weekly contributors
contest, and their authors may, if
they wish, apply for junior re-
porters' cards. SO get busy, you
campers, and see if you can give
Camp Correspondent Levy some real
competition!

AS for those contributors who are
not spending their vacations in
camps-Well, take the case of Irene
Frltschlng as an example.
Irene, who is Is and lives at 600
Cedar street NV, is spending her
vacation in Europe, and we have
asked her to write some articles on
her trip. Irene hasn't been gone
long enough yet to make a start at
European correspondence. but we're
sure that. long before she returns to
her studies at Roosevelt High School,
we'll have some worth while contri-
buttons from her.
But you don't have to go to Europe
to write interesting vacation stories
for The Junior Star. Wherever you
90, whatever you do, you stand as
good chance as any other boy or
girl to see your name over a story,
article or poem on this page.
Harriet Wallis was bit reluctant
to write the story published under
her signature today.
Its about my brother" she ex-
planned, land I'm not sure I ought
to write up somebody in my own
family"
Why not?" we countered. Run
ming that locomotive was a thrilling
experience, and it will make a good
story-one that other boys and girls
will enjoy reading. Go to it,"
We'll. all right then" said Harriet.
somewhat doubtfully. But III just
refer to myself as Dicky's sister,
without saying it's me-
It's shame to have to expose
harriet this way, but her modeSty
seems to us to call for at least a
passing mention.
From Richard Harris of Manassas,
Va, comes an iteu that would have
rated a byline had the writer re-
membered to state his age and
school,
Within 10 days Richard reports,
three cats belonging to Donna Har-
ris of Manassas had a total of 10
kittens. Superstitious people say 10
is an unlucky number; maybe that's
why the filters included kittens with
stub tails, long tails, crooked tails.
even no tails. Also. some of the cats
have seven toes on each paw, some
six and some FIVE"
And that's about as snappy a
paragraph as any to sign off with, so
