'NO TRAINING'
Professional artists who scen Howard's work consider it brilliant for a child.
His great sunt. Mis. Violel [Sparrow, who lakes Howard to the Gallery every week, said: He has had no training. Ho started when he was three yents oid,
“He doesn't eat sweets. He spends hearty at his time when he isn't actually at school, on drawing."
TT was no hot at London Zoo for the ten-day-old baby sea-lion. Bo when mother and father
left him for a few seconds to have a swim ha eyed the cool water longingly and edged closer and closer, ... Tiên his filpper ellpped on the wet rock and-plop, he sank ilko a stone. For baby aca-lions can't swim and don't usually go into the water until they are five weeks old, Beconds ticked by and there was no sign of the baby, Keeper Jack Sheloy was about to vault over the railings when a sleek black head broke the surface gripping the baby by the scruff of the neck. But he fell in again before his mother managed to drag him aloer. Which accounts for mother's watchful eye and father's lifeguard patrol as baby relaxes after
the rescue.
