Norma Says "Hello Parents" In 'Teen Time

| Last Friday's "Teen Timo," Rediffusion's wookly contribution to the Colony's teen agors, heard our friend Norma Stevens as emcee calling "hello parents!” in a programme dedicated to all parents in the Colony on behalf of its teen agers,

Norma had a choice selection, with tunes that had humour mixed with the sentiments of the days when dad and mum were wooing. What made the programme oven more delightful was the charming, confident mannor in which Norma handled her half hour and her announcing led many to request her taking to the air again,

Teen agera have also written in offering help out with talking part in the show. Thanks again musi bo given to Lwo Krand oldester-friends of the teens, Mr. Frank Harris of Rediffusion and The Wren, who being sympathetic to the requests of local teen agers, have worked together to make this hour of Toen Time possible, and successful.

The Wren, who has an almost inexhaustible collection of modern dises, is helping out with the teen ager wide and varled tasto in Juzz and swing.

Among the requests received Were some asking for light class- ical plexes to be included in Teen Timo. But as most are for the popular kind, these will be given fur the moment and as Teen Time progresses, other ideas will most certainly be incorporated.

Scouting Notes

If you plan a patrol week-end camp, pack your trek-eart on Friday night, Stow cooking gear carefully so that dixies won't rub against tent material or personal kit. _Pack personal kits and food on Saturday.

Cover the complete kit with side your ground-sheets, rubber

outwards; lash everything down Grmly.

Here are more tips:

Don't go too far away; keep off main roads,

Corry a hurricane lamp as man after-dark headlight. Also a red hurrlene lamp for rear light.

Dust your feet and stoeldings with powder (or soap) before you vet off on the trek.
