POT HOOKS FOR CAMP

Pots and pans in camp should not be littered about on the ground, where they are liable to become dirty or damaged. A much better way of disposing of them when they are not in use is shown in the sketch. A piece of rope is tied round a tree about four feet from the ground and the articles are suspended from it by pieces of stout wire bent into S shape to form pot-hooks. WASHING A DOG Some dogs dislike having a bath, and they will struggle a great deal. At such times it is a good plan to hold up one of the dog’s front paws. He will then be so occupied in balancing himself that he will not try to get out of the bath. After doing this a few times the dog will get into the habit of keeping still in the bath. TONGUE TWISTERS Can you say these six times quickly? The swan swam shyly in the shiny silver lake. Shona sang a solo, a solo Shona sang. The scarecrow scared several scared sparrows, several scared sparrows the scarecrow scared. (Sent by Ellen Hodgson, Timaru ) RIDDLES Q: Why is a train ticket like a hard riddle? A: Because you always have to give it up. Q: What is the difference between a soldier and a clock? A: One marks time with his feet and the other marks time with its hands.
