FROM AFRICA

I am 13 years and my birthday is on October 23. I collect stamps. I am very fond of sport and music. I have two pen friends who collect stamps and we spend our time sending stamps to each, other. I think it is very interesting collecting stamps.

I am very pets. I have two cats and a dog: I am getting

another dog. I had 21 pigeons but a wild cat came and ate them. We live on a farm but I wish that we lived in a town. I should like a pen friend about my age.

—SYLVIA COLTMAN, Wycombe Vale, C'ougos Kraal, Alexandria District, Cape Province, South Africa.
