Kiwi’s Mailbag
Smiler, Carterton: Just what I ain always doing wit'h bits and pieces ot Junior Bagel Victory V, WeHington: Welcome to the League, Phj-lis. Mother Hubbard, Wellington: I hope you did not get splashed too much that day, when the rain came tumbling! Garthowen, Hastings: It was disqualified, Shirley. Rules are important. You may retain the points, though! Tibby, Hastings: Shirley; told me what the budgie called things, but there was -not a word of what you and she call the budgie! I quite agree. But Ylddie had a different reaction. He became' very green In the eye. Specially when I made admiring remarks about your portrait. Snowflre, Carterton: It did not quite gain the desired effect, Betty. Possibly because , of careless metre. Hallowe’en Is really a corruption of "All Hallow’s Eve.” This was the name used by the Celts of early Britain.
The Watcher, Levin: He WAS an early bird. And he made a most interesting piece of news, Mytyl, Wellington: Not a very novel plot, Pam. Try to avoid well-worn themes like “it-was-all-a-dream" ones unless you can give them an interesting turn to lift them out of tiie rut. Your descriptive style is good. Now for some stronger plots! Pipl, Woodville: Greedy Bruin made us smile. Your entries are gradually attaining more and more merit, Kath. Scatterbrain, Eketahuna: There was a nursery rhyme blackbird in the pie, but a starHng*'fetrikes a new note. I wonder how he managed to arrive in the oven. Was there a nest-in-the-chimney ’ Buddy’s Pal, Carterton: So that was why it was underlined. A new Senior member. Congratulations, Pat! William seems to be slipping and sliding all over the countryside and 'he must have set his rain barrels a’tumble, too!
