Rena T. They "should send ,
Jay to camp with my son,
Norman.
Elsie H. With two young
sters at home, there's no point
to that.
Rena T. 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. I'm sorry
if Rena is disappointed. It's
not just that we think Jay
is too dependent upon Nor-

man as his steady pal, al
though it might do them both
good to look at each other
from a distance, write cards
and letters, and then compare
notes in September. 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.

Here's what Mrs. Dick F. Johnson of Klamath Falls says about electric living . . .
'We use electricity as many ways as we can...
it's a wonderful help with the housework"
"Electric appliances help get the household chores done
quickly and easily. That way we have more time for family
living. We're so delighted with the service we get from elec
tricity that we add new appliances whenever we can. I'd say
electric service is our biggest bargain."
Thousands of other Pacific Power & Light customers, like
Mrs. Johnson and her family, live better because they make
generous and effective use of modern electric service.
