comments camp life with the approach of summer and the end of the school year many parents consider sending their son or daughter to a summer camp in every wellorganized camp there are wise counsellors who are familiar with the problems of youth these camps are of great value in eliminating any antisocial tendencies and team play is empha sized the spirit of camaraderie which is built up by this team work is of the utmost importance to a growing child from being in a group of his own age in the performance of camp duties and activities the children learn what they owe to their homes parents the community at large and to the nation while the child is not conscious of it there is a process of education present in camp activities they learn nature and folk lore become experts at swim ming canoeing playing ball and making things with their hands they receive instructions in firstaid life saving and resuscitation techniques and are made more selfreliant courteous and considerate of others fortunately few campers are aware of the educa tional aspect of camping but it is present neverthe less the president of a great us university is credited with saying this summer camp is the north american continents most significant contri bution to the field of education a few weeks at a summer camp have become essential for the children of many families even comparatively young children will benefit greatly from the disciplined freedom that they find there go many fascinating things if a child wanted to eat what he bought he went into the neighborhood store where a wide assortment of sweets looked most alluring sometimes it was mighty hard to choose between a chocolatecovered marshmallow elephant or sugar coated peanuts which could be eaten behind a book in the schoolroom there were in fact so many different kinds of candy to be bought for a penny that a child looked as he dawdled knowing all the while that hed be late at home or school and if a girl or boy wanted a pennys worth of something to last longer than candy there were jacks marbles and even sheets of colorful transfers to stir imagination as well as laughter in those days children knew the value of a single penny to them it seemed a big piece of money now one penny clutched in a small hand is a lonely thing theres almost nothing it will buy reel or rotary the tilwre stouffvie ont

the spending of a penny required careful decision because it could buy redesigning the hen man keeps tinkering with nature in the hope of making improvements a case in point is the interest ing project of a maryland scientist who is trying to develop a type of chicken lacking flight feathers and unable to fly the expert has been working on this scheme for seven years and says he now has a flock of 1000 hens that can barely get off the ground they cannot get over an 18inch fence and their nests and roosts have to be close to the floor or in the alternative ramps or steps must be provided the explanation of all this effort to redesign the hen says the ottawa journal is that it would cost less to prepare the bird for market if it did not possess these strong flight feathers in both wings the question is not one that concerns the comfort of the hen and its security would be impaired if anything by its inability to quit the ground for a perch beyond the reach of hungry dogs behind the experiment is the profit motive if the day ever conies when chickens are wingless it would mean fewer problems for the amateur qflrver and the ottawa paper thinks loss of this appen dage wouldnt matter much to the hen which is not too bright and not much given to flying or to intro spection it goes on to say give a hen its daily ration of what a hen should eat and it will go placidly about its business of producing eggs and in due course its alloted function in the preparation of a chicken dinner feathers or no feathers wings or no wings it doesnt mean a great deal to the hen maybe not in these times when baby chicks are raised in hatcheries but there was a time when the mother hen would have been hard put to keep her children peeping cozily without having wings to keep

the soils science department at michigan state college and an authority on lawn care tyson points out that the ar guments of both groups must be judged in the cold light of proven results before beginning this ex periment i believed that both types of power mowers had definite merit but that the de cision to buy one type over the other depended greatly up on the situation in which they were

honourable hugues lapointe moved that the house go into committee to consider the following resolution that it is expedient to bring in a measure to amend the vet erans land act to provide fi nancial and technical assist ance to veterans for home con struction and also to provide further financial assistance to veterans presently settled un der the act as fulltime farmers or who may be so settled in the future and to veterans who may in the future become qua lified as parttime farmers or commercial fishermen this resolution presented by the minister seeks authoriza tion by the house to introduce a bill to amend the veterans land act by adding to it two new parts to provide veterans with new means of assistance to build their own homes and to settle on the land for full- time or parttime farming this portion of the bill will be known as part 2 of the vet erans land act its purpose is to assist veterans o world war 2 and the korean operations to become home owners it is par ticularly designed to assist vet erans who because of the na ture and location of their em ployment cannot be established conveniently on two or three acres of land as parttime farm ers under the veterans land ct and whose income is not sufficient to meet payments on the cost of a home built by a regular contractor under the national housing act in introducing this resolu tion the minister expressed the opinion that in his experience he found that many veterans if given technical guidance and supervision were willing and ready to put their own labour into building a modern home and thus bringing the cost with in their reach the assistance proposed by the department provides training courses which are iplanned to give the veter ans who are concerned a gen eral knowledge of house build ing supervision and technical guidance during construction financing on an interestfree basis while the work is in prog ress the supply of standard plans and drawings and free legal service up to and includ ing deed and mortgage under this measure there will be no conditional grant as for fulltime and parttime farmers but veterans retain their right to reestablishment credit which if it has not been used may form all or part of the down payment required under this proposed legislation this ell authorizes the director of the veterans land act to en ter into a construction contract with an eligible veteran who after a course of instruction or another suitable test is con sidered to be competent to build his own house and who has been approved for a loan under the national housing act refore entering into such a contract the veteran must ei ther pay to the director not less than ss00 to be used to purch ase a lot o transfer to the director title to a suitable lot worth at least that amount or make his down payment partly in land and partly in cash there will be no restriction as to the size of the lot provided it is suitable for a singlefamily dwelling this cash or land require ment will serve first as a se curity deposit during the life of the building contract and second as all or part of the veterans down payment when the property is reconveyed to him subject to a mortgage in favour of central mortgage and housing corporation or an ap proved lender under the na tional housing act the cost of construction up to a maximum of eight thou sand dollars will be financed through regular progress pay ments by the director from a revolving fund of 15000000 upon the completion of the house the director will con vey title to the property to the veteran and register a mort gage in favour of the lender the proceeds of this mortgage will reimburse the revolving fund this legislation was approved by all parties in the house and will be most welcome to veter ans who have up until now been unable to donate their own labour to the construction of their home for the purpose of holding the cost down to where they are able to handle it prop erly the canadian
