J. Coughlan). Mr Coughlan said 175 entries had been received and the judges had selected six, three from each division, to be sent to Wellington for national judging. One especially imaginative entry had been written in the form of a short storyThe national winners, who will receive £2O for first prize, £lO for second and £5 for third, will be announced on August 12.
