When the paint is dry, nail the

If you wish, put handles on the box.
You will then have firmer grip on

Now the box is ready for the glass,
A good grade of clear window glass

Give the outside of the box two or
three coats of a good marine paint.
Now it is ready to be used. When

What to do was the question that
confronted my friend, Richard Lee
Spears. 10, and me on the afternoon
of Wednesday, July %. We had
done almost everything conceivable
to find diversion during the long
summer days. and it seemed as II
there were nothing left to occupy us.
AS usual in such cases, one person
gets an idea that answers the ques-
ton. I suggested to Richard that we
60 up in my attic and try to flnd
something interesting 1t WASH t
long before We came across an old
box of scrap balsa wood, put away
after l had taken apart several
model airplanes that I had made.
After a conference We decided to
make little trinkets and try to sell
them for 5 cents each or more That
afternoon we made four miniature
tables.
This was just the beginning how
ever. On Thursday morning we
found out that my sister, Nancy
Elizabeth, 9, also was hunting for
something to do and had bought
some colored paper, planning to
make a playground with it. AS a re-
suit, we combined ideas and ma
terials, and started turning the balsa
wood into a miniature playground,
the three of us working together.
That afternoon we succeeded in
making two more tables. trapeze
and two sandboxes, using the balsa
woodknives, paper and glue. BY
Friday afternoon we had completed
a sliding board, two see-saws, pole
vault, high and low diving boards
and a bath house.
We were quite proud of it all when
it was finished, and now We often
display the playground on the din
ing room table, with a flag in the
center and sand spread on the OIL
cloth to give it realistic touch.
Richard attends Whittier School,
while Nancy is a pupil at Takoma.

to passing boats on several mariner
cruises.
Our whole camp of nearly 100
girls also learned the Morse CODE.
This is an international code and
it can be done with flags, flashlights,
lanterns or by tapping on a wall.
1t is the code used for all signaling
except that on water.
Signaling has proved useful in war
times. In England the Girl Guides
send messages from one town to
another, until the message has trav-
eled for miles. The first girl sends
the message to a girl on a hill, who,
in turn. sends it to the girl on the
next hill and so on. Sending mes
sages by signaling is quicker than
by horseback or even automobile.
I recently spent two weeks at a
Girl Scout camp at lockwood. Md,
where We were taught first-aid and
outdoor cooking, which the Girl
Guides also have found useful.
After attending the Rock Greek
Park camp, I went to the day camp
at Fort Dupont, across the Ana
costa Bridge. where the girls are
taught mapping and how to give
directions.
I hope to complete my summer
vacation by two weeks at Camp

in the Shenandoah Mountains.
went there last year, and it is a

In our commissary. The steak was

Changes Made
by Rynearson

Still in the process OF fitting his
men into the positions they are
most capable to handle, Coach FL
ton Rynearson has affected several
changes as the Michigan Normal
football team settles more firmly
into the training grove.
In an effort to develop trained
alternates for Lawrence Tremper
at center, Rynearson announced
that both Bill Bloomer and Dick
Fell would work out at the pivot
position as well as at their regular
spots. Tremper, aggressive Detroit
senior, is one of the hardest work
ers on the team, but he is handi-
capped by lack OF weight.
Bloomer has always played tackle
in the past, while Fell has seen
action at both guard and center.
The latter received All-city honor
able mention at Detroit Eastern
High School in 1887 and was a
member of the Wayne University
freshman eleven in 1898.
With two new prospects at cen
ter available, Rynearson will prob
ably use Steve Fozma, who has
been alternating with Tremper at
end. Bob eager, reserve halfback
last fall. will also transfer to one
of the flanks. Art Lieder will at
tempt to capture a guard post
besides substituting at quarterback

though Harold Syrett, red-headed

Nemeth, were outstanding passers
in high school.
