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.

Inviting letters of protest

which itemized all the camp's
attractions for Mrs. O. before
she signed on the dotted line.
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

A Mistake To Bring
Tenacious Carp in U.S.?
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

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
