DON PEASLEY PHOTO W ol & food news & cues Millions Call Camping Tops Millions of Americans rate camping tops as a form of outdoor recreation, says Katharine Neumann, McHenry county Extension adviser. And it's no wonder. Camping is economical and offers a wide variety of associated activities including hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, hunting, bird watching, rock and mineral exploring, photographing nature or simply relaxing. Facilities range from primitive, backwoods areas to sites that provide electrical hookups and central laundry and bathing units to luxurious resort campgrounds. It's generally wise to check in advance on available facilities at the campsite you choose so you'll know what gear to pack. Such information usually isn't difficult to obtain. Visit your local camping equipment stores for information about local campgrounds and their facilities as well as books covering national and in­ ternational camping. Other sources of camping in­ formation include libraries, gas stations, state tqurist bureaus and city chambers of com­ merce. They can also inform you of historical sites and other points of interest in the area. One special advantage of camping is that novice cam­ pers can give outdoor living a try before they invest large sumy of money into equipment. You can rent most gear in­ cluding tents, travel trailers, pickup campers, motor homes and other' small pieces of equipment, such as cookstoves and fuel containers. Mrs. Neumann advises novices to keep the first trip short or to go with another family ^that has had some camping experience. Besides reading camping books and magazines, first-tim^ camperj will algp benefit frqm talki with experienced campe regarding routine matte such as cooking, disfi laundry and persona LOUISA'S LETTER Dear Louisa, Do you think it is fair for an employer not to hire a boy because he wears his hair long a n d a b e a r d ' ' F o r e x a m p l e another boy and I applied for the same job and the man hired the other one. Now if this boy could work better than me or was smarter, I wouldn't care but I have always made better grades in school and been a better worker. In fact, the man who hired him said he wouldn't have me because he didn't want a boy working for him who had long hair. Don't you think this is unfair' aj B ,.D.--Va. Answer: If I wanted a job I shoul4n't be looking for an employer who pleased me but I would try to get myself in condition to please him and if he disliked long hair I'd cut it off--if I wanted the job. . Unfortunately some" of the young people of today think they are very courageous to go around with hair and clothes looking like hippies. Well, .the Counfry Kitchen Cooking i w , f' > only impression they give, is not that of courage but of very immature young people who are posing as something they are not. And if they are looking fqr jobs, the ones who are neat and clean will stand a much better chance of beingsuccess- ful if their hair is not covering their eyes and shoulders. . . I admit that it is the privi­ lege of every individual to groom himself as he desires but it is also the privilege of every employer to hire those he feels will fill the position he has to offer, best-in looks as well as in service. % Louisa.
