sonal interest on the part of the
counSelors in the health and well
fare of the children"
The best camping age for chill
dren is from 9 through IA years
according to Mr.. CraWley, but
there are junior camps especially
suitable for to year olds ano
senior camps for teen-agers, IA tc
18 years of age.
"The parents should discuss with
the child the kind of camp he
wants to 60 to-" Mr.. Crawley point
ed out. His happiness for the
summer will depend largely on Sc
lecting camp that fits his per-
sonality and satisfies his inter-
est"
The variety is actually great.
There are boys camps and girls
camps, co-educational camps and
day camps. Thare are school
camps, and those for handicapped
children. as well as ones that spe-
cialize in dancing, dramatics, sail
ing, riding, arts and crafts. and
many others.
The price of the camp must fit
within the family budget, Mr..
Crawley believes. There are
camps that are free. There are
some that cost from SIS to SIS a
week, some charging from SIS to
$50 a week, and others up to $500
for the season. Good camping
is expensive, he added, but the
quality of the camp should not be
determined by its fees.
1.-TWO weeks is an absolute mini
mum for trip that will be really
a worthwhile experience for a
child" Mr.. Crawley declared
Three weeks is a much better
period of time for him to get the
most from his camping expert
ence."
After you have found the type
of camp your child wishes to at.

the family budget, contact the
director of the camp and investi-

By Betty Miles

The most important piece Of
Spring shopping parents will do is
select summer camp for theil
child.
S. John Crawley, chairman OF
the Standards and Ethics Com
mittee of the Capital Camping
Association, points out that camp
ing makes a terrific impact on a
child. 1t is an education out OF
doors. And it is an experience that
will be only as effective and mean
ingful for the child as the calibre
of the camp counselors and au-
thorities.
First and foremost" Mr.. Craw-
ley urges, consider the type of
persons with whom your child will
come in contact. Children accept
the habits and ideals of the coun-
selor as their own. Look for per-
Evening star., 1950-04-28

wise choice will depend on them.
If possible, visit the camp and
personally be satisfied with its
equipment, location and facilities.
While on this visit make a careful
study of the program, Mr.. Crawley
urges. Be sure to ask for the
names of former campers parents,
and talk with them about their
own child's experiences.
When investigating the program
and leadership, look into the daily
camp routine, and determine
whether it stresses the primitive
or the formally organized program
and what particular sports, crafts
or activity it emphasizes. Look
for an American Camping Asso-
citation Certificate, which indicates
that the camp satisfies the mini
mum requirements. Find out the
capacity of the camp and the
number of children to a counselor.
For an overnight camp one adult
counselor to every eight campers
of 9 to IA years of age is an ac-
ceptable standard. For younger
children, because of their special
needs, the recommended ratio Is
one adult counselor to every six
campers.
When checking health and
safety standards, find out if
medical and hospital services are
available and how long it will
take in case of emergency to get
there, at a safe driving speed.
Does the camp have a twice daily
tick inspection? Does it have an
inf1rmary and a registered pro-
fessional nurse, or qualified medi-
cal student on duty at all times
and living in the camp? Does the
infirmary have an isolation room
and does the camp have a doctor
on call? Is the swimming and
drinking water tested regularly by
city or State health authorities?
Find out if American Red Cross
instructors are responsible for the
waterfront and if the buddy
system is used. Are the beds well
placed, with reasonable room be-
tween them? Are the cabins airy,
and the tents dry? Do the chill
dren do their own laundry or can
it be sent out or home to be
washed? Does the camp require
a pre-camp health examination
for both staff and campers? A
thorough pre-camp health exami-
nation is protection for your
child and others. Does the camp

ELIMINATING STUMP.

f0Ht &ts + . "A w UofLtILSIOT1
To Mrs. M. r. B., Kensington:
To eliminate a stump, bore a hole
about Is inches deep and pack
it with saltpeter and then plug it.
Do this in the fall and by spring
take the plug out and pour a gal
Ion of kerosene in the hole and set
it on fire. This should solve your
problem.
If you should have a stone too
big to handle, dig a hole beside
the stone deep enough to cover it
and topple it in.
(From Mrs. H. G. H., Cheuy Chase. J

holes bored in the thing and then
keeping the holes filled with

thing better, I would be glad to

allowed if the child does not stay
for the full period. and if there
are any extra charges and the
reasons for them. There also
should be an understanding about
visitors days, food packages, and
spending money.

also needs information - data

DIVERSIFIED BEDS;
OUERY2

(Front Mrs. Il. NJ, Jr., Kensington.)
For the reader who inquired
about oversiZed beds, the sheets
are very expensive, but they can
be purchased in most department
stores. I have found that the
seconds of super percale sheets
are half the price and wear most
effectively. I had to order my
blankets, but I am sure they can
be purchased in New York from a
store which specializes in over
sized beds. Be sure that you get
two box springs instead of one
large one, because they do not
bend like the mattress. An over
sized spring causes many problems
in moving. If you would care for
any other information, write tc
me through the RICH.
I am anxious to make woven
place mats. Most of the stores
have small squares to loop weave
such things and then sew the
squares together, but I am looking
for a loom. so that I may make
the mat in one piece. Could any
one give me any information?

AFRICAN VIOLETS;
GLOXINIA?
DILL PICKLES?
East RiUerddle.)

East RtDerddte.)
Several readers have requested
information for making African
violets bloom. I have seen no re-
ply that mentions the regular use
of mild fertilizer solution and am
therefore advancing that simple
suggestion. I use the liquid ferti-
lizer sold by nurseryman who
specializes in growing African
violets and who is located on Route
near Beltsville. However, friends
have had good luck with powder
sold in local stores. The product
name begins with an H and ends
with x. I use a solution of the
fertilizer, diluted according to di-
rections, to water the plants once
every 10 days to 2 weeks. Before
using this treatment I, too. had no
luck with blooms; now my plants
flower almost continually. An
other lady asked some time ago
how to plant African violet seed.
Recently, I came across the meth
Cd described in the November,
1949, issue of the Flower Grower
Magazine, available at the Wood
bridge branch of the Public Lii
brary. I shall be glad to forward
the directions if the reader still
wishes them.
An inquiry of my own: I have
a gloxinia plant, started from a
bulb in February 1t is quite a
large plant, but rather tall. I
had thought gloXinias to be low
plants. Does any one have infor-
nation on this point? How can
keep my plant from becoming too
leggy?

for making dill pickles, both the
plain kind and tioSe with garlic.

Shoppinq Tip

Although such root vegetables
as carrots and beets may be
bought with the once-a-week gro
cery order it's good idea to buy
green vegetables for salads twice
a week. The salad greens do not
keep as well as the root vegetables.

Kitchen Hint

If you are redoing a kitchen, or
planning new one, be sure to
allow about IA inches between
wall cabinets and the tops of

other tall utensils.

CHURCH BAZAAR.
from Mrs. M. A. H.,
White Plains, N. "

In recent issue some one asked
for suggestions as to profita BILE,
yet different, lines to use at a
church bazaar for raising money.
I would suggest display and sale
of old photographs, really old. 40
to so years old. These, showing
old-time horses and buggies, girls
in pantalettes, boys in baggy
trousers, horse cars. ETC., can be
priced quite high, and even at that
will sell easily and quickly. You
will have to get families to dig
them out of old scrap albums,
attics, old cabinets and other
storage places. That will be the
difficult part, because even though
hidden away temporarily they are
considered treasures that money
cannot buy, by the families having
them. Well-displayed, they will
bring many laugh from visitors
to the bazaar. and what better way
to sell things than in happy
smiling or laughing atmosphere
