Girls and Boys' Corner
Dear Kiddles,
I thought you would like last week's Competition-and, judging by the number of entries sent in, you certainly did. You always do well in painting, and again this time the standard was really excellent. It's not boen an easy task judging the many entries, but after taking age into ac count, as well as correct colouring, I find that the best Senior effort was that of
Maureen Chester-Woods (aged 11), of Shamshuipa Police Station. ---In the Junior Section, the prize goes.to
Grace Lau (aged 7), 516 Nathan Road.
The winners are asked to call at the Telegraph" aßice for their prizes. Specially commended for excellent work are the following:-Elsa Laurel, Margaret Choa, Cyril Kotewall. Maisie Law, Pamela Ho, Eileen Smyth and Celeste Marques, amongst the Seniors; and Therese Guitlerrez and Joan Gulmgam amongst the Juniora.
Now, children, I'm giving you another Crossword Competition this week. as you did so well in the last one. And I've got a surprise for you, because Instead of games or toys the prizes this week will consist of Cadbury's Milk
ceolate, generously offered by Messrs. John D. Hutchison and Co., Ltd.
There will be three six-ounce blocks of this famous chocolate for the Senior winner; and a further three six-ounce blocks for the winner in the Junior Section. At first, I thought of giving a smaller amount for the Juniors, but, feeling that the youngsters have quite as good an appetite for chocolatos as the older children, I've decided that they shall have the same quantity Now, kiddies, do your best to solve the puzzle and win these toothsome prizes.
All entries must reach Uncle Eddle, c/o "Hongkong Telegraph", not later than 4 p.. on Wednesday. Don't forget to state your age.
