This city is full of the nicest people. There are, according to our own private survey, more nice people per capita in Waterloo than in any other city in Canada. And we‘ll be glad to start a fight to prove it. ° EVERY ONE OF THEM WAS SPICK AND SPAN:! Which simply proves that the people of this city not only know how to go on and enjoy a picnic, they know that their neighbors deâ€" serve some consideration. They leave their picnic spot clean for the next picnickers who will follow them. Most of the picnic areas around here have rubbish cans in which you can dispose of your papers or leftovers. If the spot you pick does not have such facilities, it seems to be the practice of our good citizens to wrap up the leftuvers in newspaper, take them back home for disposal in their own garbage units. â€" But what brought on that remark is just that we‘ve just made a tour of our favorite picnic spots and guess what! ! ! ! We asked a park man if it was all right to throw around such things as bread crusts and other things which birds or squirrels might eat. He said he had never heard of birds or squirrels starving to death in summer. They really don‘t need the food and such things probably help the insect population more than they help the larger wildlife. So maybe it‘s best to forget it, in the more important idea of keeping our picnic spots clean. Our further researching led us into the fire question. Here again we have lots of fireplaces, grills and whatnot already prepared in our parks and picnic areas, for use. It is very rare that you will have to resort to building fires in a makeâ€"shift spot. And be sure that all dead leaves or sticks or grass are cleaned out for an area several feet around the fire. It is best to build out from under a tree, particularly conifers which catch fire easily. But as we said at the start, we have so many nice peouple around here all this advice and counsel probably is totally unnecessary. We just thought maybe we might have a newcomer in town who may not know what our good people do to make things as nice for others as they have for themselves. c There are "separâ€" ates" in hats as well & as in clothes, and they are simplicity itself. All it takes is a few yards of veiling, a ribbon or two, and a couple of hardy, artificial flowers. Experiâ€" ment an evening or two in front of your mirror and you‘ll discover If you are in a woods area where no fireâ€"building facilities are proâ€" vided, the best thing to do is to get some flat rocks to use as a base for your fire, build sidewalls on three sides, to keep the fire confined and concentrate the heat where you want it. Be sure the fire is completely dead before you leave. Cover it with dirt and pour water over it A small spark can be whipped up by wind into a considerable mess in some spots in this area. s ga "aP e pouery l Editorial Comment Tips on Touring "‘It makes you glad you‘re thirsty‘‘ Cleaning Up Picnic Area is a Good Neighbor Policy â€" Women‘s Travel Authority m Pull a trick or 3 two out of your own chapeauâ€"and .eÂ¥ you‘ll never have % trouble pack in g Wleest) | hats for a vacation Wiéas. trip again.

People generally do what they want to do in their spare time. They want to do the things they like to do, and to like anything, we must learn what it is like to do that thing. Take picnics. This is a picnic issue of "The Chronicle" and we‘re right on the ball by using the picnic as an example of a means of playing together. Here I can taik from experience as well as from observance. I‘ve been on the extended kind of picnic anyâ€" where from the canoe trip comâ€" plete with portages and black Aies, to the monthâ€"iong camp very complete to the tune of over one hundred boys. _ Nearly every weekâ€"end my wife and 1 eat a couple of meals, cooked meais, somewhere out of doors; meat, mutoes, tomatoes and all the lls.

I‘m getting on, you know; can‘t keep up the pace; shouldn‘t. Must save my energy for my work. If we have no income, pretty soon we don‘t eat. I‘d play after supper but the kids have homework or they like to play with their pals and they don‘t want the old man hanging around and showing off. Besides, kids, nowadays, get lots of play. They even organize their play in school and after school there‘s interâ€"class competition. My kids are either playing or watching. When they come home they read books, listen to radio or watch television and have a rest.

If you pray together, even ask the blessâ€" ing together, you‘re together at meals at least. If you have family worship you‘re together oftener yet; and the auspices are of the best, the Presence of God. We fall very short of the mark in this family privilege.
