MRS MOON ,

I saw Mrs Moon At noon, But it wasn’t a very good time To see Mrs Moon, And soon She disappeared, oh, lovely Mrs Moon. —NOLA LYNN (aged 9), Geraldine. What can a black hen do that a white hen can’t do? A black hen can lay a white egg, but a white hen can’t lay a black egg.

SPRING SONG Where fleecy lambs are gaily prancing, Where sunny daffodils are dancing, Where blossoms frail deck mossy trees, Where softly hum dark velvet bees, Where willows deep in pools are dipping.

Where rabbits shy are nimbly skipping, Where skies are clear and blue above, Where downy birds sing songs of love, Where happy laughing children play, Wherever hearts are young and gay, Spring is there. —KATHERINE BRADLEY, Eden street, Oamaru. JIMMY’S MICE Little Jimmy Brice

He feeds them on cheese Which makes them sneeze. —LORELEI TRELEAVEN, Marshland. SEVEN LITTLE FROGS There were once seven frogs of Lee. Who were as happy as happy could be,

Till a duck close by just winked his eye, And thought of his afternoon tea. —HAZEL HENDERSON (aged 10), Halkett.

READING I like reading on a cool summer day, Out in the fields or near some hay;

I also like reading when the fire is lit, With a book in my hand all night I would sit, Reading, reading, reading. —COLLEEN RAMSDEN (aged 12), Ellesmere.

WHO LIKES A LUCKY DIP? The Bran Tubs at the Fair are being filled with things from the country clubs. Already there is a big pile of presents waiting to be packed up into exciting looking parcels. There will be 3d lucky dips for girls and boys

and 6d ones for grown-ups. Every parcel is worth at least that price—some are worth a great deal more.

To Country Clubs

There is still room in the Bran Tubs for gifts from your club. These should be sent to Mother Bunch next week, the earlier the better.

TO STALLHOLDERS

A meeting of stallholders will be held at “The Press Ship” next Thursday at 4 p.m. All stallholders should be present at this meeting or send a representative.

Why was the sweep surprised? Because the chimney flue (flew). , What is the smallest bridge in the world? The bridge of your nose. —LUCY KENYON, Dromore.
