The contest will close on May 25 and no entries will be opened until after that date. They will then be marked at random, the first six' correct entrants to receive the A.A.’s “Book of the New Zealand Countryside.”

"The Press” will also award a special $lO cash prize for the neatest cor-

rect entry submitted by a school class. The words are hidden in the touragram in a random manner and may appear horizontally, vertically or diagonally. They can be read from left to right, or from right

to left, and up or down. Some letters :may be common to two or more words. Each word has a corres- ■ ponding clue.
