We've just sign ed up with a camp in the Po conos for our son to spend the summer. Right along we thought the H.'s would send their son, too. The two boys are inseparable and this would give them a lot of new experiences they can't have in the city. Now I learn Elsie H. is un decided. She thinks it's a good idea to let each boy try to get around on his own, making new friends instead of depending on each other so much. Well, where can that be easier than in a camp where there are boys from all over and so many interesting proj ects to choose from? She'd certainly have an eas ier summer hercelf, knowing Jay was off her hands and, yet, safe and sound and enjoy ing himself. Elsie H. We're having second thoughts about camp for Jay this summer.

They're each 10 and have hardly been apart since they were 6. But there are other consid erations. For Rena, camp means a perfect vacation for her and her husband. Nor man is their only child. But we have two little girls at home. They're 5 and 7. We'd still be tied down. Also, we've applied to the U.S. Forest Service for a camp site, so that we might go camping as a family for a few weeks. The Council: It's that time of year again and the word "camp" rolls off many tongues, each with a different taste for the term. For Rena, it's caviar, the luxury-item which will give her and her husband a period to slip out of the parent role and live like second honeymooners. Their Norman will be out of the way and gainfully occu pied. Elsie, however, sees camp for Jay as just a side dish, with not enough nutri tion for the family to war rant the expense and trouble. The question arises: Do par ents send kids to camp for the kids' sake or for their own? The honest answer is for both, because whatever refreshes, relaxes and stimu lates one end of a household has an upbeat effect on the other end. Thus Norman s separation from Rena and her husband gives them all a breather, a chance to explore a different way of living. Camp for Jay, on the otner hand, would effect no such re lease for the rest ot trie ri. family, and might even pro duce very limited advantages for Jay himself at this stage of the H.'s fortunes. Let's say Elsie weakens and signs him up. If he's the clinging, de pendent fellow she says he is, he'll still pull the Ike-and-Mike act with Norman at camp. Even separate bunks won't stop the magnetic pull between them, and the effort to build new friendships will be weakened. Then there's the chance that he may feel pushed out of his home, so that his par ents can lavish their full af fection upon his sisters. He may actually prefer to re main on the premises and par take of family vacation plans, not be shunted off as a troublemaker or misfit. Also, this particular camp may be fine for Norman, but poison for Jay. Camps differ, some being rigid about program, others encouraging much free choice. When it's camp-time for Jay, Elsie will have to pick one that matches his needs, not sign up blindly be cause Norman's going. We'd vote on Elsie's side. It might be .- good idea to start saving up for the time when all three children can be sent to camp, giving the H.'s a taste of what Rena will have - freedom from heavy responsibility. Meanwhile, the family camping trip sounds fine. So does day camp, if there's one nearby. Jay could get his out door fun and still join in with whatcver's cooking at home. PROMOTED Cpl. Wesley D.
