The respected Comrade
"The Songdowon International Children's Camp is a palace for children, associated with the warm affection of the great Comrades
President
On this day, he took in his arms the school campers who were greeting him with hearty cheers and tenderly enquired after their camping. He asked such questions as if anybody hadn't had any accidents or fallen ill, how many days had they spent there, what kind of food they would like to have more, if they were not at all afraid of the sea, what games had been the most interesting and the like.
Pointing to the fact that Songdowon had once been a resort for exclusive use by only the rich in the old days, he told the officials that we should have our children run about to their hearts' content in such a good place as this.
Having dropped in at a dining hall, he expressed his satisfaction over its cleanness, brightness and coziness. However, he advised them it would be better to have the tables covered in plastic rather than in white cloth considering the fact that the diners were children. After having learnt in more detail about menus for three-course meals, their nutritional value and daily rations, he told them to increase their daily rations lest the children should feel hungry, and instead of cutting down on daily bean curd ration which seemed to be a little too much, they should increase the daily portion of eggs, fruits and sweets.
He stopped at an amusement hall, and praising the good design and the quality of its construction, he enquired after how films were shown there. Upon hearing that agents from film distributing agency in the province used to bring and install a film projector whenever they had film shows, he told the officials that a film projector, the best of its kind, should be equipped at the hall.
While looking around bedrooms, he took the trouble to learn about bedclothes which seemed to be too heavy as they were made of cotton wool, which made him tell the officials that blankets had better be supplied since it was the summertime, and if the supply of cotton wool bedclothes was unavoidable, then they should make sure the bedclothes were by no means quilted.
Later, at the sight of portraits featuring landscapes hung in every room and corridor of the building, he reminded them that children would prefer more energetic, brighter and livelier pictures and said that the portraits had better be labelled with subsequent explanations of the landscapes or they should give prospective views such as the red sun rising from the east sea. Having spotted rather small mirrors hanging in the corridor, he said they were too small and that they should be replaced with bigger ones so that the children may have a full look of themselves in the mirror as they go up and down the stairs and check whether their caps were rightly placed on their heads, their neckerchiefs were not crooked and they were attired properly.
He went so far as to look around skills training rooms on the fourth floor and learning in detail about the equipment and their operation, he told the officials that children should be well-instructed in swimming and climbing apparatuses should be well-equipped as well. While looking at the blueprint for children's camp, he emphasized over and over again that there is nothing to spare for our children and that they should be provided the best.
In this way, President
