Olive Barber's Letter Notes on a late camping trip: By pooling gas and fishing equipment, the men decided we could take, a short camping trip. wo two camping trips are ever the same but for one thing In spite of our experience, we leave what we should have taken and take what we should have left. So, naturally, since this time we took bedding along, we wound up in a fully equipped cabin. And the men, having prepared for trout fishing, fished for sal mon with gear borrowed on thi spot. Disillusioning experiences have taught friends and family that when I go fishing, I never intend to fish. My pastimes are all hyphenated a fishing-visit, a picnic-visit, party-visit, club- visit. On a fishing-visit, I never worry over what kind of lures will prove most seductive; I let my quarry provide their own bait. Maybe the woman serving us coffee at a wayside stand will have on an intriguing pin. I men tion It and soon we are talking thirteen to the dozen. I not only get the story of her life but also certain reprisals she has In mind when, and if, her husband re turns from the poker session she feels sure he Is attending. This time I made a catch which confused me no end. In conversation with the auto camp proprietor, he recognized me from having attended the sale where I bought two day-old calves; a dollar apiece. (If Frank had given me 4 dollars, I would have taken four calves.) At home, this unhappy experi ence is never mentioned but this man not only mentioned It, he went Into patronizing detail as to how I "got took , chuckling gleefully the while. A woman companion gave me some pretty stiff competition with her blue slacks and black curls. Too, her mimosa-glance technique was something torn fic; and nature had placed her curves In different places than she had mine. All she was In terested in was lillles and for some reason, every one prefer red to talk lillles with her than to discuss cabbages and barn yard fertilizer with me.

I lightened my load somewhat by taking only the right shoes of our hikers. No thief, I felt, would bother to steal a bunch of shoes for left feet, only. The dog got the colic; which served her right for having eat en all our salaaml. This made her smell of garlic and as she tagged me wherever I went, you can see what chance I had in competition with a woman who talked about lillles and had blue slacks and come-hither eyes. Just In case we go again. I've ordered a book on orchid culture, a pair of yellow slacks and I aim to leave the dog, or the salaaml, at home. Truman Ratifies U. S.
