Seems like a long time since we pushed our way down the midway at the good old "E.k", but it's here again and they sure have plenty of inter- esting things for teen-agers. In the automotive building you will find a section for teen-agers only. They have a record bar, fashion show and there will be teen-age broadcasts conducted from there daily. The midway will he bigger and better than ever, and every moment you have can be taken up with seeing something different and something interesting. Boys and girls who have an overdose of freckles can get in the freckle-faced kids competition and maybe win a little green stuff. If interested in any of the compe- titions you should get your entries in early.

We haven't had such good picking for .'everal years a.- we are having tight now. .-Xnd believe me. I am making the mot of it. Everything else IS being neglected, or at nio?T reduced to niiniinuni requirements. .â- \ny time now [ am e-xpecting to hear sounds of e.xasperation tr„'.i my menfolk because 1 am afraid their supply of mended socks must be just about exhausted.

It was more of an inspection tru than anything else as 1 wasn't at all sure that the berries were ready. So we wandered around in the bush i|uitc a bit, picking here and ti^eie, but with no intention of staying very long. .At ten-to-six I thougnt we had better head for home â€" i>ni that s where the tun began. Do you think I could find my way out of that bush! To make matters wor^e the sky was overcast so that we couldn't even" tell where the sun should be. As looking didn't get us anywhere we started li-.'iniiig. \Vc could hear a tractor gjiui; not too far away and then we heard a car, so we headed ho.iei i Iv '.o- wards where we thought the car had passed. Eventually «.; tcl out but quite a piece fro'.n wher- our car was parked so tiiat lueant a nice little walk for me t;) get it. » » » Of course when 1 related our ex- periences at supper time the men scoffed at the idea of our being lost; ridiculed the suggestion Mat we really had trouble in finding our way out of the bush â€" and n any case thought I was completely crazy. During our wandering I asked my sister-in-law if she were scared and what she would do if we were really lost. "Nothing at all.'* she answered, "1 would just sit here until some- one came to find us. .\nd I cer- tainly was not scared." v * • Since that trip there have been Annwrr to l*rrviou.*« PuxKlr connoisseur 21 One who trains 26 Story 28 Verbal 29 Saddle pad 31 Sports stadium 32 Individual F song 33 Performance 34 Flock 35 Soothsayer 36 Exclamation 38 Excitement 39 Also 41 Things (Latin) . . .

Today Second .Niece and I. along with a neighbour, went picking on our own. .\nd what a gr^at picking we had. It rained nearly all day yesterday and I im- magine most people thought the bush '.vould be wet as only once did we hear voices. an<l they were children voices. The bush wasn't really wet all. I srppose the dense- ness of the undergrowth keeps the ground from getting soggy. .â- Ml this activity has netted me twenty jars of berries â€" to say no- thing of the number we have eaten â€" and the prospects are very good for still more pickincs.
