Keep Your Campfire Dry
Cold weather campers can
keep this tip in mind for Kozy
Komfort on frosty fall mornings.
If you lay an old tarpaulin or
plastic sheet over your dead
campfire the night before, the
dew won't form. Building a new
fire next day will be a lot easier.
At the risk Of belaboring the OBJ
vious. don't forget to make sure
the fire is out. Otherwise you
may rot only burn up your tarp
but the whole forest as well.

inches In width and wound
in 200-foot contin uous

vantages for fencing.
1t is economical, strong and

In combination with red
wood posts and rods, the
vinyl strips produce a long

This is commonly known as

are read later to determine
any deviation from the

MASON ON EDUCATION
Job Problems Face
Adult Poor Reader

This Is how 1t happens in
many cases:
A typical John Doe in Sec
ond grade listens to other
second graders read. He sort
Of memories and doesn't
try very hard to read and
understand for himself. The
teacher helps him over all
the hard words. At home his
mother does the same thing.
In third grade our John
Doe watches the pupils on
either side to see what they
are doing, rather than read
ing the instructions. He may
ask the teacher to explain
and tell him Just what to
do.
BY fourth grade. someone
at home is reading him the
instructions and helping him
get his homework done.
And by sixth grade he has
completely stopped trying to
read instructions. He Just
waits for help.
Drops Out Of School
In high school. as more
and more of his learning
must come from reading,
he becomes discouraged and
drops out of school.
He can read newspapers
reasonably well, but he has
always avoided the very type
Of reading needed for pass
ing those tests at the en-
ployment office and train
ing himself for a new Job.
This pattern occurs over
and over again in spite Of
dedicated teachers and we'll
meaning parents.
Many times these students
have no more interest In
training themselves to write
well or to understand arith-
metic precisely than they
have in learning to under
stand what they read.
Success StiIl Possible
However. 1t Is never too
late for a person to change
his pattern Of thinking. With
real effort. such a person
can learn to read and under
stand what he reads.
Let him take do-it-your-
self instructions from q
newspaper. for example. He
will have TO study, read and
reread until he can explain
the instructions accurately
