JUNIOR BOYS
Dear Chief Kiwi,—You asked me how I should like to spend Christmas. This is the way I would spend it if I had the money. I would go to a country where it snows at Christmas time. What fun I should have tobogganing, snowballing and playing many other games in the snow. At night I would like to engage a large hall in which was a large, open fireplace. I would invite all the poor people along. How delighted they would be to see the glowing yule log and the welllighted room. I would have the table laden with nice things. After they had enjoyed a good meal they would go to the curtained-off end of the room. The curtains would be drawn back and 10l there would be a wonderful Christmas tree on which hung toys for the children and small gifts for the grown-ups. As I have not enough money to do these things I have to be contented to give small presents to my friends and put extra money in the Banardo box. Love to you and the Kiwi Band. —Prize of 5/- to Erie Clark, age 10 years, Kaiapo road, Hastings.
Dear Chief Kiwi,—l have not written to you for quite a long time. Nqw I’m writing about how I should like to spend Christmas if I had a great deal of money. Instead of thinking of myself first as some children do, I would visit the poor in the homes. Taking as many as I could afford I would show then round the Auckland Zoo, and buy them many presents before taking them back to their homes. Thinking of myself I would go and have sport on the Southern Alps for a few weeks. —Orange certificate to Richard de Lisle, aged 10 years, 800 Tomoana road, Hastings.
