A Very Important Date
SATURDA Y, JUNE 29. Print it in capitals, please, Mr Printer. It is a Very Important date. SATURDAY, JUNE 29, is the day all blue cards should reach “The Pgess ship .” “That’s a week to-day,” said Aunt Amelia. “Seven more days,” added Ernest “A hundred and sixty-eight hours,” Put in Peter. “Ten thousand and eighty minutes,” murmured Midge the Fairy. “Six hundred and four thousand, eight hundred seconds,” Mother Bunch gasped. Mother Bundh is not very good at multiplication, so would, you work it out and see if she has the right answer? Thank you. Don't forget that there are only six hundred and four thousand, eight hundred seconds till this time on June 29. So if you haven’t yet sent your blue card to Mother Bunch, you’ll do so soon, won’t you? ~
