As I expected, you found it not at niì diffleult la påle of the bird and Insecta with the wings. In fact, everybody Fot correct answers. Therefore, I have had to Judge the awards on a basis of neat work and nge. After careful checking up, I find the best senior effort was that of Winnie Ingram (aged 12), 32, Kimberley Road, Kowloon; while the Junior award goes to Silloo Bejonjec, (nged 9), 51, Rua Central, Macao.

Will Winne call at the "Hongkong prize, Telegraph offices for her Silloo, have you a friend in Hong- kong who will collect your prize for you or shall I send it on to your in Macao by post? Drop me a line and Jet me know,

It has not been easy to decide the Merit Certificate awards, but T think the awards should go to the following:

Senior; Jean Grady, Peter Parker, Evelyn da Silva, Karima Khan and Sunny Gensburger.

Junior: David Asche, Edith Ma, Pamela Meyer, and James Haynes.

Commended for excellent work are the folowing:

Senior: Reg Pengelly, Yeung KH- wa, Maggie Alves, Wong Chiu-yung,

that is why you see this delicious drink everywhere now wherever healthy, open-air people "get together", Health-giving and refresh- ing, its delicious flavour makes 'Ovalline" tirat favourite among drinks.

Remember that nourishment, is needed just as much in summer na In winter. Longer days. sirenuous games make big dercands on your energy which can only be made good by proper and adequate nourishment and the dainty meals you enjoy do not provide you with it completely

That is why, 'Ovaltine' is such a necessary addition to the diet in summer. It is rich in selehßcally balanced nutriment that builds up body, brats and nerves. A glass of 'Ovaltine' Cold when you are feeling "played-out"; quickly makes you fresh and vigorous again.

It's all because she has sud- denly become house-proud. Tidi- ness has got to be such an obses- sion with her that she suffers untold agony whenever my cigar- ette ash goes on the floor, or when I forget to hang my coat up in the hall.

I admit I'm a pretty untidy sort of person to have about the house. I regularly do all those things calculated to annoy a con- scientious housewife.

But lately Janet has become almost fanatical in her cleaning- up campaign. When she is not busy tidying up in anticipation of a visit from an imaginary caller, she is actively engaged in clearing-up after a late departed guest. Most of her waking hours are spent in "putting things straight."

I am indebted again to the reader, who also provided me with a recent interesting problem, for the one last week, which “Emjay" says "I con- sider this one of the mast interesting problems given". I am sure those who attempted the problem, whether successfully or otherwise, will agree -with this opinion: -
