Now. with vacations rolline alone. how can we best make the springy forest trail, the star-filled desert sky a part of our being? How can we take our boys and girls into our wilderness so they'll enjoy it? And, in view of rising costs, with the least expense? And considering our old bones, most comfortably? To answer these questions, The Mall Tribune has asked Ranger Naturalist Gene Burns to write a series of articles on camping, drawing on his outdoor experiences which range from camp ing in Alaska to the Everglades of Florida. Among the articles Gene Burns will write are: What's the best buy in out door clothing; Basic camp cooking irom tne morning's napjacKs to tne evening's skilletful of trout; How to entertain children in camp he says. among other things: "Stuff 'em with scorcnea marsnmallows, hot popcorn, and adventure stories. And plan plenty of things to do because young people's interests change on the half- hour"; and. Hazards real and fancied. Ranger Burns' down-to-earth mon ey-saving series will run in The Mail Tribune Mondays. May we suggest that you clip these articles and paste them in a scrapbook for future camp ing trips.

On a pack- trip, then learn to ride a horse and adapt muscles to that sad dle spread. On a fly-fishing trip, then learn to cast a fly well.. If shooting, then learn the proper way of handling a gun. You can easily find experts in your com munity who will help you. But this calls for making your plans not just weeks but months in advance. And rehearsing. In addition, before you go camping, see your local Red Cross chapter and find out about the next First Aid course. This is most essential. At least one person in your group must know the rudiments. Finally, count on this for sure: on a camping trip there is one thing you cannot have too much of a generous supply of good, sound woodlore. It will bring you peace of mind and give you much greater enjoyment. And that's what we're seeking in the outdoors. Right?

Let's get down to brass tacks. What's on tap? A picnic? An overnight camp? A week end trip? A two week's pack trip? month's camp trip? Regardless, if this is your first experience, then the more you prepare for it the better you will enjoy it. The secret of suc cessful camping is to get ready well in advance and rehearse for it. ' First you must decide well ahead on where you are going, how many of you there will be, and the kind of things you are going to do. Better confer with people who have been there; read up on the area; get maps ' in short, familiarize yourself thoroughly. At the outset let's not kid ourselves. If we're going camp ing outdoors, we are going to match our wits with the ele ments; we are going to cope with ants and mosquitoes; with sud den rains perhaps even cloud bursts; but once we know what to do, man alive, we'll come home refreshed, and a darned sight better for our experiences.

GRAPE PH. 3-1971 Roosevelt Silent On Marriage Rumor Los Angeles OJ.R) Rep. James Roosevelt (D-Calif.J, was silent today over reports he would marry a secretary when his divorce from Mrs. Romelle Roosevelt becomes final in June but did not deny them. "I don't comment on my pri vate life," was the lanky Dem ocrat's reply. "My decree is not final and it would be improper for me to comment at this time." A close friend of Roosevelt announced here Friday that the congressman planned to marry Mrs. Anita Owen, Detroit. Roosevelt, here to conduct a smog hearing, refused to deny or confirm the report. There was no mention of a wo man by that name in his wife's sensational charges in her 1954 divorce action. In her separate maintenance suit, Mrs. Roose- velt charged him with miscon duct with three women.
