+The following are extracts from a Ladies' Journal produced by Molly Gallard:
-"The camp fire is the real clue to your gypsiness, and should be the finishing joy to every hike. It need not be, and hardly ever is, a roaring true gypsy fire; but a small practical cooking fire is a possibility for even the'lone girl hiker ... If two neighbouring rocks present themselves, build your fire between them so that they support the frying pan or broiling rack; No rocks being accommodating that day, gather an armful of sound, dry twigs about the thickness of a lead pencil or a little larger, and select three of the best ones for the starter. Stand them in a tripod ... Find two heavier 'sticks, quite log-ish ones,, and place them at either side as a support for a frying pan. Make sure of your supply of sticks and in fifteen or twenty minutes after your wigwam is started the meal is cooked. Dontt leave a spark of the fire behind_you."
-"First see that your feet are camfortable in well-fitting, low- heeled shoes, snug fitting under the arches ... If you wear a skirt have it short, and full enough to "make" a fence or ditch, but if you would be as free as the butterflies dancing on the road ahead, wear breeches or knickers, wool golf hose for protection from the brambles, a comfortable and practical sweater, a blouse with a loose collar turned back ... You will probably want a pair of old gloves also."
+"No matter what excuse you make to the civilised world for this getting out into the country - 'need the exercise', 'want to get out more in the air', 'walking is good for my figure' - the real truth of the matter is that you are gypsies at heart..."

-ALL THE ANSWERS
-Do you work in a store/office/factory (strike out words which do not app ly) surrounded by non-walkers?
 If so, how do you fare when you intend to set out on a trip straight from work, and take your gear to the store/office/factory (delete unnecessary words)?
 Are you bombarded with silly questions, and do you answer them over and over again, ad nauseam?
 If you are a fellow sufferer, you will be interested in this project. I propose to have a number of "pro forma" duplicated (on the Club duplicator). These papers will be available to members (also prospective members) proposing to join a Friday night trip, straight after work. They should be properly filled in and posted in a prominent position near one's bench/table/counter (cross out words not required) and all enquirers referred thereto.
 Before going to press, however, I should be glad of any comment or criticism, any suggestions as to additional data which should be incorporated. Any such correspondence should be enclosed in an envelope and addressed to the Editor and will be treated confidentially.
 Appended hereunder is draft of the proposed form:
 . NO, I am not going HIKING. I am going BUSHWALKING.
 . YES, we leave on a train/car/bus/ferry tonight (delete words which do not apply).
 . We expect to return next SUNDAY/MONDAY night (strike out day  which does not apply).
-. We will travel to (insert name of destination)
