SOUTHERN CAMP CONDITIONS CAUSE

BROOKLYN, N. Y.-Because

The youthful soldier, home

Whispering Willows On Top
In Victory Gardening
Ry IOIJ RANSOM
BY LOU RANSOM

Were you camper this sum-
mer at Whispering willows or
father of a camper at the
beautiful pine country estate?
If you were then you can hold
your head very high and hon
eStly feel proud because this
particular camp almost per-
formed miracles in victory
gardening. A summer season
that was off to a late start be-
cause of inclement weather
didn't break down the morale
of the campers who toiled SER
iously and yet in fun daily to
produce victory garden sec
ond to none in New England.
Under the direct supervision
of Mrs. Freda Dray, an AM
herSt graduate and local All
Club Leader, the little camp
erS produced bushels Of car
rots, stringbeans, squash, Gu
cumbers, onions, radishes and
corn row upon row, a good
three city blocks in length and
equal in width. The children
loved their work, most of them
never actually knowing before
the real value of good rich
earth and just what could be
produced from it when a lit
tie knowledge and faithful
work is applied. Four hours
each morning the little camp.

West started of with the king
and then the queen of spades. East
played the deuce and then the five,
showing that he did not have
doubleton, so West shifted to the
queen OF diamonds, which dummy
won.
The heart deuce was led from
dummy and South finessed the jack.
The fall of Vests ten on this gave
South hint that two more illnesses
through East would be necessary to
pick up the king, so South looked
for two more entries to dummy. The
club king was one, and where could
South find the second?
South had an idea. He carefully
led the club nine from his hand
and won with dummy's king. Then
he won another heart finesse. Then
he laid down the club ace and, sure
enough, Vests jack dropped. So,
by having saved the club three,
South had an extra entry to dummy
by leading the three to dummy's
seven. The diamond ace provided
discard for South's last spade. and
then another heart finesse picked up
East's king, giving South the re-
naming tricks.
South made five hearts-his beau-
tiful play gave him only an over
trick.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

''It is queer. 1t is very queer. 1t
Is the queerest thing I've ever
known" muttered Paddy the Beaver
to himself. What under the sun
are they covering themselves with
mud for? That is what beats me.
Mud is all right to build houses
and dams with, but why any one
should want to plaster 1t all over
themlesves is more than I can un-
derstand. Ny, but each OF them
Is a sight"
OF course you know who paddy
meant. He meant Farmer Browns
Boy, half hidden on the farther side
of the pond, his face and neck COW
cred with mud, and Buster Bear
rolling In mud not very far from
where Paddy was hiding with the
Quack family in the rushes, only his
head out of water 1t was more than
Paddy could understand, because
Paddy never had been stung by
Busy Bee, and so never had a
chance to find out that mud is Of
use In more ways than plastering
houses and dams. He didn't know
what Farmer Browns Boy and
Buster Bear knew, that it would take
the smart out of stings. So he
couldn't guess what they had COW
cred themselves with mud for and
he just itched to ask.
But he didn't do anything OF the
kind. He didn't even let them know
that he knew that they were there.
He had feeling, that more in
teresting things might happen, and
so he kept perfectly still right
where he was. You see Paddy had
more than a. suspicion that Buster
Bear didn't know that Farmer
Browns Boy was anywhere about.
Something is bound to happen
when he fnds it out" chuckled
Paddy. You see he and Buster Bear
are old acquaintances, and he knows
just how Buster feels toward all
mankind. SO he remained right
where he was so as not to miss
anything.
After Buster Bear had rolled and
Evening star., 1943-08-14

rolled in the mud until he was cov-
cred with it, until he was the worst
looking bear that ever was seen he
stretched out on the edge of the
pond. The cool wet mud drew out
the pain of the stings which Busy
Bee and her comrades had given him
when he robbed their storehouse Of
honey, and in little while Buster
was fairly comfortable. He even
dozed of for a little nap All the
time Farmer Browns Boy sat per-
fectly still in his hiding place on
the other side of the pond. He had
seen Buster Bear cover himself with
mud, and he knew why he did it.
1t was for the same reason that he
had covered his own face and neck
with mud.
We've got fellow feeling" he
chuckled, but he took care it should
be a silent inside chuckle. 1t was
the first chance he ever had to watch
Buster Bear, and he meant to make
the most of it. The mud on his face
and neck was beginning to dry and
felt uncomfortable, but he didn't
dare move to wash it of or put more
on. He was afraid Of frightening
Buster Bear.
The jolly Little sunbeams were
very bright and warm. In fact, they
were hot. AS Buster Bear dozed
they dried the mud on his coat. BY
and by he awoke, and like Farmer
Browns Boy he felt uncomfortable.
He looked at his coat and sheepish
grin spread over his undiscovered
face.
My. but I am sight" he grum-
bled. 1T this mud dries much more
I'll never get it off until it wears
off. The thing for me to do is to
take a bath. The water will feel
good anyway"
So Buster Bear got to his feet
lazily and waded out into the water
First he washed his face until he
had got off all the mud and the
honey as we'll Then he waded out
until the water became so deep that
he was forced to swim. Now Buster
Bear likes an occasional swim. He
enjoys it just as much as any small
boy. He likes to paddle about, and
this Is just what he did not He
swan out almost to the middle of
Paddy's pond Just then a wander
ing Little Breeze danced out from
the other shore and tickled Buster s
nose. BY this time all the honey
had been washed away, and Busters
nose was ready to do its duty Just
out Of habit he shifted when that
Merry Little Breeze tickled his nose
A suspicious look flashed into his
eyes. He shifted again. There was
no doubt about it, that Merry Little
Breeze was bringing him the dreaded
man-smell! 1t was bringing him
the smell Of Farmer Browns Boy!
Like flash Buster turned and
sarted for the shore This was no
place for him. He headed for the
nearest place, and this happened to
be the rushes in which Paddy the
Beaver and the Quack family were
hiding, Paddy saw him coming and
dived to get out of the way. The
Quack family couldn't get out of the
way so easily. They started to swim
but there wasn't time for this.
