IN WH, the D's start their fire at the observatory using paper- both newspaper, and the dust jacket of Dick's astronomy book. The Swallows and Amazons are shocked that paper would be used, using dried leaves instead. I can see the importance of learning to start a fire using one match (and why didn't Nancy have people rubbing sticks or striking a spark off flint, I don't know), but what is the problem with using paper?
