DON'T PUSH Us AROUND
by Godfrey Murray

CrOwnups may think
their manners are
good, but here's an
earful from q child
Il oday's author is a 13-yeG7-ON
jstnior-high-schOOl student in South
Portland. Me.
WYE CHILDREN are taught to
w mind our manners" in
public. Adults, too, follow a GER
tain code of behavior in public
places, but it has been my expert
ence and that of my junior-high-
school friends that many adults
do not apply these rules in their
dealings with children.
Grownups will hold a door for
one another but it would not
occur to many of them to do this
for a kid Of my age. / have also
found that a good number of
people do not think it is in order
to thank a child for performing
some act of courtesy.
An older person will ask direc-
tions of a kid and when he re-
ceives his answer will walk or
drive away without even saying
thanks. If they did thank him
though. they would find that he
likes to be recognized and would
be more willing to be helpful.
HAT grown people do not
stick to the idea of first come,
first served, is a pet peeve of
mine. There have been many
times when / was waiting in line
at the check-out counter in the
local supermarket. when an
adult cut into line ahead of me.
l have often seen other chill
dren my age get the same treat
ment. realize that many adults
are pressed for time and feel that
children have no reason to be in

here's q little trick you can use

will this do for you? It will
raise your blood sugar level and
curb your appetite.

Of Public Health, you see, have
documented the simple fact that
healthy people get hungry when

Sugar raises the blood sugar

A sensible, workable reducing

apart from others at mealtime-
must include all Of the basic
foods needed for q balanced diet.
But you simply don't eat as

This wound up in a kind Of water
battle, with the boys using the
water cans and hoses, but it was
d hot day, so nobody seemed to
mind.
The next day was devoted to
game and fish. Ed Barry told about
fish management, and there was
a demonstration of fishing meth
DDS Joe Minkc explained the wild
life program, and told what can
be done to increase the amount of
game and other wildlife.
Thursday we went for a field
trip to learn about soil and water
conservation and to visit Swallow
Falls. There were stops at Law
renee Brenneman's to see a sugar
grove; at Jonas Beachy's to find
out how farm ponds are built,
stocked and fortified; at the Belt
eel farm to look at some swampy
land and talk about drainage
methods. About mid-morning we
stopped at Pete Calls farm at
Accident where we took a walk up
a steep (as some Of the downstate
boys put it, hill where Mr.. Mace
and Mr.. Ellington showed us con-
tour strip cropping, diversion ter
races, tree planting and farm
wildlife refuge. They told us about
planning where to put what ac-
cording to the kind of land. From
there we went to Swallow Falls,
had a picnic lunch and walked the
trails.
Each day we had a period of
swimming and other sports. Each
boy had a session on the rifle
range, and could qualify for NRA
Junior awards. There were movies
in the evenings about different
conservation subjects. One evening
Harry Morgan, of Frostburg, put
on a demonstration Of rifle shoot
ing. The camp was divided into
tribes, and the tribes competed for
points. The points were given fol
behavior, neatness about camp
athletics, etc.
