?HURSDAY, AUG. ?th. 1958 THE CAKADIAK STATESMAII. EO wzAI~ vï '~. O2~TA~IO PAGE ?~?~ DAY CAMP .-4,On the da 4i1 Monday )nrning of J' th a group of about 35 b*oset out on one of the greatest experiences they wiil have this summer. The ex- Perience was a new adventure for the boys and for thec Re- cEpation Department. Each momring at 8:30 a.m. the boys and leaders were phcked up at the Lions Centre and were tak- en ta the Campsite five miles north of Bowmanville. They stayed at the Camp ail day and returned at about 5:00 p.m. each night exbausted but looking for- ward to the next day's activi- tics. Frorm the time they arrhved at the camp until they got home tbey lhved in an "Indian World". Camp opened each morning with the plachng of the tribal crests on the totem pole. Fea- thers were given out ta the tribe that we feit was the best behaved tribe of the previous day. Feathers of different co- ours were presented for such other things as promptness, courtesy and athletic agility. Camp closed at night when the crests were removed from the totem and the prayers were said. During the week the boys worked bard to make their stay at the camp as pleasant as pos- sible. To improve the swhmming they buiît a dam. For non-swim- mers the boys built a bridge across the strcam. Each tribe built their own campsites. They ate their meals and spent a lot of tin-e in their own areas. Tbey were given archery les- sons, arts and crafts and mu- nic. On Friday nigbt the boys i prepared a program for their parents. The evening began wit-l the opening ceremonies pre- vioushy described. The staff was introduced and then the par- ents were hnvited ta tour the camp areas wth their sons. Alter about 34 o! an bour we reassembhed and the tbree tribes staged a mock battle. At the conclusion of the battle we bad' a coundcil ring. In the counicil ring anc of the leaders acted as the chie! o! the thnee tribes. The tribes sat around the fine in their deslg- nated positions. A lire was llght- cd and the braves could chal- lenge anyone to varlous feats o! strength sucb as hand wrest- ling, Ieg wrestling, cock-fhght- ing and tug o! war. At the conclusion o! the cere- manies, feathers were given out ta the best tribe -o! tbe week- the Sioux; the best behaved campers-the Apache. the most obedient-the Cree. Special feathers were given out by thes leaders ta the boys that we con- sidcred as outstanding contnîbu- tors at the day camp-Gordon Post, Jamie Manduck, William Crombie, Wayne Burgess, Larry Dunn. Thc three camp leaders werc Bleverly Cowiing, George Mar- low and Thomas Park. We the leaders o! the day camp wcre very pleascd with the results achieved and we are certain that next year's day camp will be just as successfui. We feci if the boys learned as much as we did, they will bave amassed a great deal o! infor- mation and bad many intercst- ing experiences.________ Three Day Regatfa With Many Prizes Enjoyed at Beach A three-day festive celebra- thon of the holiday weekend was enjoyed by crowds at Bow- mnanville West Beach.

This presents a confusing problem ta the average householder who bas a meagre knowledge of soi] chemistry, advises the Dept. of Agriculture, Ottawa. Two factors assist bim. Re- guhations in Canada compel the manufacturer ta print the an- alysis of bis produet stating What Others Say GOVERNMENT BIG BUSINESS (Trenton Courier-Advocate) Departmental estimates just tabled in the House of Commons at Ottawa serve ta cmphasize the extent to which government is big business in Canada-and stcadily getting bigger year by year. Expenditures by the fedêral cxchequer for the fiscal year 1958-59 have reached the stag- gering total of $5,179,343,555. This compares with a figure of $4,978,822,907 for the, previaus 12 month period, indicating that the trend continues ta be in up- ward direction. A large expenditure and cer- tainly one with which there will beno quarrel is by the Depart- ment of National Health and Wclfare which came ta $1,173,- 061,460. As might be expected, in view of the current international cli- mate, the biggest single item in the national budget is defense. And at that it is down slig4tly this year due to careful prun- hng by the govcrnmcnt and the civil service, the figure for this year bcing $1,636,821,689 as compared with $1,693,644,100 a year ago. Another large item with which there will be littie quarrel is veterans' affairs. This year's figure there is $29 1,882,345 as compared with $274,976,559 for the previaus 12-month period. These figures serve to illus- trate the extent of the opera- tions of the federal government. They ?lso serve ta stress the necessity for the utmost econ- omy and prudence concomitant with efficiency in the national administration. For it must not be forgotten that eithcr directly or indirect- ly every. single dollar that is expendcd by the federal. gov- ernment-or by any gaverfi- ment for that matter, must in the final analysis come out of the pockets of the bard pressed taxpayer. There is no other source from whih it can be ob- tained. And the position is fast be- ing reached in this country wben taxation is approaching a con- fiscatory level. That is a trend in which there is an inherent danger. and it is one which al governments must watch. For it is axiomatic and ¶5 very true that it is possible ta tax prosperity out of existence. And while this favoured nation is in the midst of what might be termed a boom period at the present time, and therefore this is a time for expansion, it is equalhy important ta remember that there arc cycles in the economic climate and that now is the time ta build up a finan- cial cushion against pbssible fu- ture recession, if flot depression. In fact there are abservers who foresce at least a considerable recession in the comparhtively immediate future and certain- ly there are signs that would appear ta give that indication. Thus, the definite need for prudence and financial caution stiil exists and 'we are sure thatl this fact will be borne in mind by the members of parliamenti as they deal with national fi- nances.- Memorial Hospital Weekly Report (Week o!

Tests at the Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, over the >past twa summers, showed that an sandy loam sal, annual flowers respondcd best ta 2-1 lb. per 100 square feet of a 5-10 -13 fertilizer (5 per cent nitro- gen, 10 per cent phosphorus, 13 >per cent potash). Too much fer- tilizer, or fertilizer that sup- plies toa much of anc element, is of course wasteful. This fertihizer combination praved bcst. on the local sandy soil which is naturally how in available phospharus ànd po- tash whihe on dlay sals, a ferti- lizer with less of these two ele- ments would probably prove as satisfactary.

By Lewis Miligan Byron, in bis satirical poem Don Juan, bas a couplet wbicb runs: "In virtue nothing earthly could surpass ber, Save thine incomparable oul, Masassar!" For the information o! the younger generation it shouhd be explained that Macassar 011 was popularly used bs, yaung sparks in Byron's day as a bair-oi. It flot only gave an attractive glass ta the bushy bahr worn by the mashers in those days, it also bad a subtle aroma wbich was aluring at close quarters ta the fair sex. But later, ta that same sex, as housewives, it became a nuisance and they made anti- miacassars ta protect their fur- niture from the grcasy smudge. Even in these days the teen- agcd and later beaux are phas- tening their sbaggy bair and sideburns with same sort o! thick pomade, a la Elvis Prres- ley. One o! the virtues attribut- ed ta macassar ail was that it promoted growth o! the bair. But that Is very doubtful, for it resuhted in crop o! bald heads among our grand!athers, wbile their whiskers, on which thcy used nothhng but soap and wa- ter, grew protusely ta the end o! their days. My theory, as an oid fellow who bas kept bis top bain on, is that hair us a veget- able and needs frequent water- ing at the maots. But ahl that is a digression from what I had intcnded ta write about. My onhy excuse us that I was led astnay by Byron in bis reference ta the ladies or ta a certain lady with wbom he compared "thine incomparable oul, Macassar." If the poet were writing today hc would bave an exçeI1ent subJect for satire la the present situation in the Mid- dle East, where the rulers of the various Arab countries are con- sidering the question of form- ing a united Arabian Empire under the incomparable dicta- tor Nasser. And, appropriately enough, oil is the principal com- modity at stake in the creation of an Arabian Empire in the Middle East. It isn't bair-ol this time, but a far more valuable and widely-used lubricant and fuel combined, which is largelv applied ta airplanes, so that there is at least a phonetie sim- ilarity between air and hair, Nasser and Macassar. There is an abundance of nil In the Middle East, and while it bas been freely flowing into the western world markets, the Arab states have been pence- fully prasperous. To preserve that condition, ahl they need now is an effective anti-Me- Nasser. Nothing is Impossible to the man wbo can will; and then do. October is the best month for beating September records. The Task ahead is neyer as great as the Power behind us. Each day is the only one of its kind.
