Children’s Column

f! Children’s'\ ll “ Kiwi ” )| Circle Jj OUR COLOUR COMPETITION Dear Boys and Girls, — Just a reminder to you all about our competition for the colouring of the picture of the little girl. Kiwi was delighted with the coloured pictures sent in a few weeks ago. This month’s competition closes at the end of the month. How did you al enjoy the holiday on Tuesday? Kiwi is looking forward to hearing all about it in the letters you write during the next few days. What about sitting, down at once and writing a letter commencing: “On the King's Birthday I- .” I am sure you will all have a lot to teil me. How are your gardens getting on during this cold wintry weather? Love to all from KIWI. JOKES (Sent by Princess May) Victim : Hi ! That isn’t the tooth I wanted pulled out. Dentist: Calm yourself. I am coming to it. Exasperated Teacher (to dull class): Now, children, if a donkey’s head points to the north -where does his tail point? Small Boy: To the ground, Miss. Johnny is always late, and the teacher said: “ Late again, Johnny. What would you say if I came late?” Johnny: Please, Sir, goodmorning, sir. (Sent by Knarf) Manager (to office boy, who is half an hour late): You should have been here at nine o’clock. Office Boy : Why, what happened? Boxer: Look here, for two pins and half the purse, win or lose, and me naming the referee, I’d knock your head off.

Out of My Post Bag. Te Poi R.D. Dear Kiwi, —iHas not the weather man been playing naughty pranks lately ? The gardens do not look so well just lately, do they? We got a few violets the other day, but except for that the garden is bare. I will suggest Floss and Squeak for Willow Sprite’s little kittens, and I hope the names are all right. Well, this is all this week, with a few riddles and jokes. Love from Princess May. Yes, the weather has been too colld or too wet to suit most of us, Princess May. I hope that Willow Sprite likes the names. Thank you for the riddles and stories. Love from Kiwi. Matamata Dear Kiwi, —I did not see the children’s column this week, so I can’t do the story, but I’ll send some jokes. Love from Knarf. Thank you for the jokes, Knarf. When you write again please write on only one side of the paper, as the printer does not like having to turn over the pages. Love from Kiwi.
