Wards exhausted its supply
some time back, along with
most types Of auto chains, at
the Wheaton store.
And Mr.. Baumgarten admits
to a boner on another item. A
salesman for a gas engine snow
blower company talked to him
last September, but the owner
sloughed him off with, "It's q
fine item for Michigan, but I
don't think the Washington
climate warrants it."
Next year, he's stocking snow
blowers.
Oscar Dodek, president Of
the Merchants and Manufac.
turers Association and vice
president of D. j. kaufman.

last Saturday was SO per cent

year ago.
People get used to anything,
even snow," he observed. Some

I think the snowfall just isn't
having the psychological effect
it did a few weeks ago."

WHY GROW OLD?
Camp
Times
Here
By JOSEPHINE LOWMAN

Regtster and Tribune Syndicate
Thousands of children all
over the country are getting
ready to go to camp or soon
will be preparing for this
adventure.
I don't know whether the
first camp is a greater ad-
venture for the mother or
the child. Any of you who
have been through it know
what I mean. No matter how
carefully you investigate the
camp to which your child is
going you still are haunted
with visions Of a broken
neck after a fall from a
horse. drownings or a fatal
bite from a snake. You never
thing CT anything as simple
as poison ivy!
Lonely?
Most of all you wonder if
he or she will be lonely. You
know your child we'll enough
to sense the dread as well
as the anticipation in him.
For the first time he will
have to stand on his own
feet and he will take to take
the crueltieS as we'll as the
bonuses which are part of
life.
And you will not be there
to console or encourage him
or explain to him. You both
will act very brave, and then
after you leave him, you
probably will cry a little bit.
Camp is a wonderful and
valuable experience for a
child. To learn to live in a
small community and carry
his weight as he will have
to do in the world later on.
to learn "give and take" to
learn to cooperate with 9TH
ers, is fine training for fu-
ture life. And, of course, the
outdoor living is good for his
health.
Extra Shoes
According to a survey
among camp directors made
by a national foot health or
ganization, mothers pay too
little attention to shoes when
preparing their children's
clothes for camp.
They do not stint when it
comes to throwing a couple
OF extra pairs of shorts or a
few more T-shirtS into the
trunk. But camp officials re-
port that m a my mothers
send along only the young
ster'S current pair of shoes
(often nearly outgrown) and
q pair OF sneakers - and
that's all.
