a day camp along the lines of a
nursery school to take care of the
younger children in the neighbor-
hood for a few hours each day.
When she told her friends, Elizabeth
Kimball, 8, and Barbara Miller, 8,
they liked it very much, so they got
busy and came up with "The Barn.
aby Day Camp"
The group met from 10 am. to II
noon every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday in Carols recreation room,
Their activities consisted of draw
ing pictures, painting them, and
then awarding merit cards to the
ones with the best; along with post
ing the winners drawing on the
camps bulletin board. Aside from
this they went on nature hikes
through the nearby woods. And, of
course, they played favorite chill
dren's games-and invented a few
new ones, too.
But all was not play in this gay
camp, for the children had pre-
Scrlbed rest periods, and the first
one asleep. or the one who rested
best, received a prize. After these
periods came reading time where
Carol and the other leaders read to
the children out of their favorite
books. After this time out" period
they were up, rested, and out again.
On July 3, the group had a picnic
which officially closed the camp for
the summer because of vacations
and other distractions. The picnic
was big success and the children
enjoyed themselves.
This camp was organized and
operated by these three young lead
ers without the aid of their parents.
The smaller children liked it very
much, because there were so many
things to do, and 1t was assured the
mothers around the neighborhood
appreciated it, too.

Vacation in Canada
Thrills Girl Writing
Letter to Friend
Prise Contribution.
By Jonet HiIferty, Is
Hyottsville High School

Now that school is out, most of us
are looking forward to summer trips.
One of my girl friends. Frances
Hendricks, II, formerly of Riverdale,
now of Mansfield, Pa, took her
vacation early. Frances went to
Canada on a fishing trip with her
boy friend and his family the last
week in June. Her letter describing
the trip was so interesting that I
thought you Junior Star readers
would like to hear some of it.
After raving about how wonderful
everything was she got to material
things: T.
TT rained all the way up and the
strong gale uprooted many trees
near the road 1t was drizzling in
Ottawa, the capital, but could see
what beautiful place it was. The
residential section is sprinkled with
beds of tulips. The big palacial gov
ernment buildings are magnificent.
Ottawa is actually a large city.
"The place where we stayed is on
Lake Pemichonga, about 20 miles
from the French settlement of Lac
st. Marie. We stayed in a large log
cabin built for tourists. 1t had no
electricity, no running water except
ice cold and just wood stove for
heat. The gnats were so thick that
I was literally covered with bites
when got home.
I'VE spent most of the time fish,
ing and rowing around the lake. We
caught lots of fish. The largest was
7h pounds. We had small perch
fried in -four for breakfast. The
water was much too cold for SWIM
ming but we went in anyway.
The weather was rather chilly
but not cold. The scenery around
the lake was lovely. The steep
mountains were covered with ever
green's and the rocky hillsides were
very moist and covered with moss.
The sunsets were breathtaking.
MY trip to Canada was simply
wonderful. Honestly. I don't believe
I ever had so much fun.

pictures on each roll. AS soon as I

The first time I visited the British
Museum In London I saw a sight
which impressed me. In q glass
case was family Of opossurns.
In any natural history museum
we see mounted animals of many
kinds, but the exhibit of which II
speak is unusual The mother opos-
sum is carrying six baby opossums
on her back. Each baby has Its
tail wound around the mothers
tall, which is held over her back
for safety In case a young one
should fall.
Animals of that kind-known as
"Merians opossums"-hve in Dutch
Guiana. When full-grown, their
bodies measure only or inches in
length, but their tails grow to be
as much as 7 inches. long. The
young ones-with bodies less than
an inch IN length-take rides on
the mothers back soon after they
are born. It must be exciting for
them to be carried in that manner
from tree to tree.
Related to Kangaroos.
Opossums are distant relatives of
kangaroos. Some kinds have pouch
es in which to keep their young.
Opossums found in Virginia and
elsewhere in Southern parts of the
United States. grow to length of
80 inches, counting the tail. They
seldom go forth in the daytime, but
they are active at night. Often they
rob hen roosts, but If they cannot
obtain chickens they feed on frogs
and other small animals.
Opossums are hunted for food.
The hunting is done chiefly in the
autumn season, when the animals
are plump.
In warm parts of South America
are crab-eating opossums. These
spend much of their time In marshy |
regions.
Swims After Fish.
AllOGlltI CuI lOuS ulCLiUCI VI UllC
family is the Yapock opossum of
Brazil. It's hind feet are webbed,
and it spends much of its time in
water. 1t swims in pursuit of fish,
and also eats crabs.
So far in this article I have
spoken of these animals as "opos-
sums" but there is a widespread |
custom Of calling them "possums. ;"
In Southern parts of the United
States almost every one speaks of
them in that way. Men go out to
hunt possuns" from time to time
and their flesh appears on many
dinner tables.
The animal makes believe that
1t is dead at certain times. Closing
its eyes, it curls up with its head
between its front legs. Its muscles
are tense, and it breathes very
lightly.
Opossums are the only "pouched
animals in North America. In Aus
tralia, on the other hand, there are
several kinds Of animals which keep
their young in pouches.
