for camp.
The children need all that
camp can give them. They need
good, well-balanced meals. They
need the discipline and routine
they don't get at home They
need contact with the kind OF
people who are leaders at camp
They need to know that the
world is wider than their home
Last year, the family spent
Thanksgiving with their coats
on, huddled around the stove in
the living room. This year may
not be better. But hardship is
softened by hope.
Each dream come true will
help them hope. Camp is one of
these dreams. Your contribution
to The Evening Star Summer

dream. and hope for important
years ahead.

The reference to the report

leased last November. The next
day Gov. Stanley called the Leg

Said Cumeromun:
One More Cheese
By JACK JONAS

School and State Depart
nent officials still are trying
to recover from the sudden
ness of last weeks visit by a
group of Japanese PTA mem
berS who flew in from the
West Coast almost unan-
nounced.
1t was touch-and-go at the
airport for a while, with none
of the visitors knowing Eng
lish and none of the welcom-
ing delegation speaking Japa-
neSe.
But that was ironed out
with a hurry-up call for an
interpreter. All are in agree
ment now that everybody had
a fine time-especially during
the White House incident.
The visitors, well armed
with cameras like any tourist
group, were taken on a tour of
the Executive Mansion. There
had to be, of course, a group
picture in front after the tour.
There was some difficulty in
getting all so of them to smile
at the same time, and they
wanted it to be pleasant
picture.
So the thoroughly Ameri-
canized interpreter gave a
brief English lesson. He taught
them all the word cheese"
an old trick used by pho
tographeNs for getting a smile
out of the dourest of men.
With one of their number
counting lone, two, three" in
japanese, they all practiced
saying cheese" in unison.
Before they were finished,
all were laughing so gaily at
their own efforts that it was
no trouble at all ge<ng a
pleasant picture.
