TRIBUTE Sarah Jane is seven years old. and, much given to the composition of letters, which she prints in large wobbly characters and which she entrusts to her grandfather to address and deliver to the Post Office to dispatch to the worthy recipients. To date she has entrusted to him messages to the S.P.C.A., to Dr Barnado, to the burglar who burgled her home, to a TV personality and an open letter to “ail the people” with advice as to how they can train their cats not to catch birds. Naturally he finds much joy in I reading these gems of literature before I be tucks them away in a secret place! to reread as a pick-me-up when the! sad old world gets on top of him. Recently he was entrusted with yeti another of Sarah Jane’s masterpieces.! This one, he felt, should be shared! with all other doting and loving grand- i
parents. It should give all grandmothers a real lift this Christmas season, and make all grand-fathers feel that life has been really something. Sarah Jane’s latest letter reads:— “Dear Mary and Joseph, I hope you have somewhere to go to this Christmas. I hope it is not like that other Christmas a long time ago. If no one will have you dear Mary and Joseph go to Grand-mas. Grandma will have you. Her house is full of room. It is full of room even I when it is full of us kids and : everybody gets full of smiles and I kumfit-a-blindness all the time there. Go to Grand-ma s. She will love vou land spechly will he love the baby ! Jesus. I love you all too. Love from < Sarah Jane.
