Edited by by Mrs, Alma Denny. (Copyright Mn. S. O.-I don't know whose side to takc-her or the camp's? Louit O. I'll nklp swim ming till they get more show ers. Mr. S. 0.-My riauRhlcr, Louise, is 11 and is attending a day camp. The directors have arranged lor Louise's group to use a small private swimming pool every after noon. But since the owner of the pool is very fussy, the swim suits are all alike, gray leolards which have been sterilized. They are handed out to the girls as soon as showers have been taken. Be cause there are only two showers and the swim ses sion is short, the counselors want the girls to strip fast, get showered en masse and then jump into the suits and dive right in. This means that there's no privacy. Most of the girls don't seem lo mind disrobing and showering in front of e.ich other. But Louise does. 've always encouraged mod esty at home and this parad ing upsets her. What should 1 dn-make her adjust or talk to the directors? . Louisa O.-I'm not the only nne whos been silling out the swim period at camp. At first, half (he girls refused to get undressed that way. Each day a few more weaken nnd join the public display, but there are still three of us who are on strike against be ing forced to undress and bathe in a group. If the camp ron't get a bigger pool or one wilh dressing rooms, my mother should ask for her money back and let me stay home. Maybe the other two k iris will quit, too, and then we can find a public pool somewhere and go swimming by ourselves. Some of the kids who don't mind those crazy rules are kids who have been away to all-summer camps. They say ynu lose all your modesty fast in those places. Well, even if I went lo an overnight camp, J'd Mill want to be left alone to dress and undress - even II I linrl lo make myself a trnt out of a sheet. e Tha Council: At t lie risk of Inviting letters of protest from dedicated nudists, we must favor Louise's position ns against Hie camp's and ad vise Mrs. O. lo do tile same. Clearly this body -baring waMi't in the prospectus Try and By BENNETT CERF- ONT A LECTURE tour, silver-tongued Norman Cousins found himself aboard' a crowded Pittsburgh bus, when young lady boarded same, lutlcn with two large bundles and a howling baby. She took a quick look around, then deposited the baby rquarcly upon Mr, Cous ins' lap. Surprised, Mr. Cousins inquired, "Why, may I 8k. did you pick me?" "You have a kind facr," replied the young wonun V'lthoul hesitation, "and besides you're the only person wearing a rain coat." A lantern-Jawed lady who spcrmhrcrt In back seat driving tapped her husband's alioiilrlrr s he needled thrir car tlimiigh ninttrmn traffic and reminded him, "And further more, llorttce, when you are driving.

Nowhere did the come-on say, "Your daughter's prud ishness guaranteed to be de molished," For what's prud- Ishness or squeamishncss in one family, may be a becom ing and valued modesty in anolher. At any rate, even Gypsy Rose Lee would agree that open -to -view stripping should be optional and volun tary, not commanded. We know of camps for tots, 8 years old and under, where nude sunbathing and swim ming is part of the program and is carried out with no self-consciousness, But older children begin lo become more body-conscious. Those who come from cultist homes stressing "naturalism" may be more thick-skinned, more nonchalant, about exposing themselves. The sensitivities and preferences of the others. however, should be respected. At Louise's age, especially, when a child is filled wilh surprise and wonder at her burgeoning development, pri vacy ought be quietly provid ed. Finding herself overdevel oped or undc rdeveloped among her peers might intro duce unnecessary anxiety in a youngster. Even a birth mark, a scar or a pimple would invite unwanted ques tions. No, Louise's body is her own business, and the camp's ruling is an invasion of her person in one sense. Mrs. O. can help her daugh ter in three easy stages. First, talk over with her whether II 's really that bad, or wheth er she's dramatizing the pic ture In order to draw atten tion to herself as a standout. If Louise insists that the whole setup goes against her grain, then Step No. 2 is a plain-talk session wilh the camp directors. If they can't provide more comfortable fa cilities for Louise, there's Slep No. 3 - withdrawal.

As a source of cheap and plentiful food for the under privileged of the Middle Ages, the now-common carp was in troduced into Europe from its ancestral home in Asia. It was about 800 years ago that the first numbers of these disgustingly prolific fish were placed in European rivers and ponds. Mother carp, following her natural biological be havior pattern, lit the fuse for the carp population ex plosion. Then in the 19th Century, the carp was introduced into American ponds and rivers. Here they were as much at home as in Asia or Europe. Today the carp is found throughout almost the entire world. The carp is the largest member of the family of fishes lo which the fresh water min now belongs. It has been known In reach considerable size, although about 10 pounds appears to be the average. Hardy Species The fish is very tenacious of life, living and thriving in waters and under conditions which would be unfavorable to less hardy fish. There are recorded instances where carp have been kept alive in aquar iums for 150 years. Specimens were kept in tanks in ancient Rome just for the amusement of the populace. Long before that, the an cient Chinese worked with Ihe hardy carp. They came up with a highly colored species, the goldfish. In our ponds, streams and lakes, we have at least two prominent representatives of the carp tribe: the mirror carp and the leather carp. The one identified as the leather carp has a leathery skin which is devoid of scales. The mirror carp has one, two and some times three rows of scales along the sides of the body wilh naked skin in between. Confirmed Vegetarian The carp of our lakes and rivers is just about a con firmed vegetarian. It has a small, toothless moulh, but does have strong molar teeth Imbedded in the bones of the throat. For creatures natural ly avoiding fleshy material, the throat teeth serve the carp admirably. They are not exactly fastid ious eaters. Mr. and Mrs. Carp, as well as all the baby carp, root along in the lake or stream bottom like aquatic hogs, often upsetting the vege tation lo Hie extent of creating an unfavorable environment for other fish. This rooting habit Is one fvlLDi-ORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Speak at director of the breast dint there in 1937. During the two-day meeting here, he will lecture on breast cancer in general practice, on current Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. W ATKINS (Register and Tribun. Syndic.!. 1962) of the reasons why the flesh of the carp usually has a muddy tasle. The flesh is very soft and somewhat objectionable to those favoring firmer fleshed fish. There are those who claim the introduction of the carp into American waters was a mistake. They know it, the sports fisherman knows it, the net fisherman knows it, but mother ea.p continues to produce baby carp at a steady rale.

Your advertising's first job is to win a friendly feeling for your product. It stands to reason you will win more friends by running your advertising where most people want it.
