Children's Corner
AT MY TYPEWRITER...
Dear children,
-
For several weeks I have read with interest your letters with regard to the proposed pets' section in the Children's Corner. Some readers thought it might be a “good idea". Others the animal lovers — said they would like to see such a section started so that they could contribute articles, stories and in- formation about animals in general.
But just as many readers voiced their objections arguing that space in the Corner is so very limited already. Besides, there wouldn't be enough interesting articles to warrant a speciol section on pets.
All this put me into something of a dilemma. Then when I opened the mail last Monday there was the solution in the form of a letter from P.H.C.C. member Linda Wu.

With her usual common sense, Linda spoko her mind saying that a "Pets' Corner” would not prove very successful—a regular corner with articles on pets (mostly cats and dogs) week after weck, would become a bit monotonous.
"But," she added, “an occasional account of a pet would be refreshing to read about.”
I think this is a happy solution. Thank you Linda, for writ
ing in.
I look forward to articles and stories about pets and animals (and a photo or drawing included would be lovely), from those of you who have and love pets.
Happy days to all, from
Auntie Lue

To bear my burdens gaily, unafraid,
To lend a hand to those who ask my aid,
To measure what I am by what I give-
God give me strength that I may rightly lival For the eight beat entries (with age taken into con- sideration) thero will be two first prizes of $10 each and six consolation prizes of $5 each.

Pat in getting on very wall to learn quickly and easily without, let me tell you, being a swot or a smuggine. I don't want you to dislike her. Pat knows that it isn't only at school that you learn things. All the time, as you grow up, your parents are teaching you what you need to know. It begins with eating instead of just drinking milk, then eating with knives and forka, instead of with a spoon, then how to keep away from open area or stoves with hot pana on them, not to cross the road without looking, how to get dressed and how to look after your belongings. I know all these things can be very tiresome. Unless you do learn them, you
