If you suggest a cardboard box, chances are you'll be sor­ ry. A lot of things go on a camping, trip and some of them don't mix well. It's wise to put a little thought and money into con­ tainers. They'll prevent that garbage dump look so many camps acquire. For years I packed a gaso­ line lantern in a cardboard box and hoped for the best. Then I finally bought a fiber case made for thg lantern. It fits perfectly and there is a spring inside to hold the lan­ tern rigid. It was a little ex­ pensive, but if I'd had it for the past 30 years it would long since have paid for itself. Av,Big Triumph When camping, my?wife and I used to spend a lo\ of time figuring what to do with can­ ned goods and cooking uten­ sils. We found construction plans for a movable cupboard that, Ouldoorsmen get ideas from luscious picnic spreads such as this. The watertight, transparent food containers used by their wives may be adapted for orderly arrangement of the variety of gear and supplies they take with them on camping and fishing trips. Con­ tainers shown above, by Tupperware. would accommodate all of that stuff and some more too. One of our big triumphs is the use of plastic food con­ tainers with sealing lids. There are probably other kinds, but the ones we've gone for are those made by Tupperware. My wife had been using some of them in camp before I even noticed. I'd seen all of those lidded plastic containers, but I didn't know you could tip them over without starting a leak. "They won't leak if you put the lid on right," my wife said, tossing a container filled with water at me. I caught it in panic, but not a drop came out. No one is recommending playing touch football with one of these bowls, but they will suffer surprising abuse. Primarily they are food con­ tainers and, as such, they will do a fine job when they must be transported over rough country, avoiding all sorts of travel mess. They Are Waterproof The fact they are water­ proof from the outside in, as wel^as from the inside out, makes them useful for a lot of things the manufacturers never intended. Now our first aid and medi­ cine cabinet is simply one of the larger plastic "buckets" with everything from aspirin to snake bite kit carefully packed inside. The plastic containers are fine for temporary camera cases when you and your equipment are apt to get a soaking, and for transporting exposed or unexposed film they are hard to beat. Other uses include storage of matches, flashbulbs, ammu­ nition, binoculars, soap and even dry clothing. POUND FOUND FOUND: Part Irish Setter, female. Close to McHenry Shores. Has choker chain.

Adding to the fun here is a Johnson Air-Buoy in the foreground, and. in the background a Royal Infra-red gas grill. y : ; -- Pre-Vacation Time "Check Is a Must for Your Car We have found soft zipper bags better than suitcases for our hunting and fishing cloth­ ing. We use big cloth bags that open the long way, making it easy to get to something at the bottom without digging out the whole works. Hard, fiber foot-locker type luggage is handy in smaller size. They offer added protec­ tion to breakables. Leather re­ quires extra care on camping trips. Tackle Boxes The most satisfactory tackle Jraxes me.have found are made.., of plastics, aluminum and wood, and two small ones seem to work better than one large one. Here's a checklist of serv­ ices for your car before leav­ ing on a vacation trip. Con­ sult your owner's manual for proper time. \ ENGINE: completel igni­ tion check, including/ spark plugs, distributer, coil, points, condenser, timing and advance wiring and connections. FUEL SYSTEM check, in­ cluding: idle speed, fuel leaks, clean PCY valve ar.d f uti Re­ condition. Clean PCV device in engine. SUSPENSION AND STEER­ ING: check shock absorbers, springs, steering linkage. If needed, balance and align wheels, rotate tires. WIPER BLADES. (Replace if needed). eh an-^br- replace air filter. tPerl ortft with tune-up). COOLING SYSTEM: check coolant, hoses, fan belt, radi­ ator cap; inspect for radia­ tor leaks, flusft and install rust-inhibitor. BATTERY: check water level and cables; clean con­ nectors and terminals. Also check voltage regulator and drive belt' for condition. LUBRICATION: change engine oil, oil filter, check transmission, power steering and differential oil level. Lu- ,, bricate chassis if needed. BRAKES: check brake fluid, inspect drums and lin­ ings for wear, master and wheel cylinders for leakage. TIRES: check for adequate tread, uneven wear, cuts, sldewall wear, correct pres­ sure, good valves. EXHAUST: check for holes in muffler, tail pipe. Inspect clamps and fasteners for TRIP-TIP Plan it so that you and your fairly/ may- slop- frequently. Thais the way to* make sure they enjoy every minute you make it possible for them to spend in the great outdoors. If the bedding gets wet or lost, the whole trip goes sour. Most modern campers like to use sleeping bags. Some of the best bags are made of down and can be worked into sur­ prisingly small packages. I use an outer bag of waterproof cloth, often packing it with the drawstring end down just in case some rain hits it. EARLY COFFEE \ Sleepyheads who want a cup, or coffee the minute they open tneir eyes will welcome this timesaver. Make extra coffee at dinnertime and pour it into a vacuum bottle for early morning enjoyment. Vtf si Summer ) the Fun Way! 16 FT.
