Goodbye to Holidays

RING PEOPLE: '^ Our holiday gipsies are trooping home *'. . some have dven called at the Ring already . . . but there are others who, this weekend, will be saying good-bye to places where they have spent happy days, taking a last early-morning swim, a last scramble over the rocks, a last tramp along a country road, before the whole holiday slips into the Place of Happy Memories, and school-life begins \again with new classes, new friends, and new adventures. 1 dont. think you are really sorry about school's beginning, as much as you enjoy holidays. Next Saturday we. are going to have our Holiday Page, so, if you have just returned to town and have not heard about it, there is still time for you to send in a* story, a poem, or a drawing. : ■■_..' . ;. ■.■■ '..'.'■ . m ■..'.. . As most of you spent part of the holidays at the beach, I think you'll all like the competition Letterbox Elf and 1 have planned for, you. I'm sure you must have learned a great deal about the shells and sea-creatures that lie in those lovely little clear-water pools among the rocks ... star-fish, sea-anemones, gleaming water-weeds, tiny scuttling crabs, and all the other wonderful things that live in the world of moving water. You may make them into real story-characters if you wish. We hope we'll have hundreds of interesting entries to judge. Will you try? FAIRIEL
