ERRORS IN THE PICTURE

ilsH STANDARD OF WORK MAINTAINED “THE SPIRIT OF THE CONTEST” . Dear Northlanders,—“l think.the,artist had a very had sunburn tb. shake him draw that picture”—such was the opinion of one young ; Nbfthlander who set about the task of discovering all the errors in J [ < pobr fellow must have been feeling bad, for scarcely an object was t( drawn Cbrffectly. If Biibiha DaWsbn, a.Towai reader, pointed out correctly 52 mistakes •5* madefy theiartist, whilst Sheila Stewart and Enid Claris both discov--11 ered 51. Joseph E. BTelloy ppheld the honour of the boys by capturing the -last of the ha.lf-crownVprizes with a list of 45 mistakes, t % The. standard of work maintained was high, for in competitions K : of, thia nature it is usual to find many who give full rein to their I \ ima^inatiohs,. jotting down anything find everything that , might pos- \ [ sibly be with Northlanders, however, it was different. My v * warriors and maidens entered into the true spirit of the contest, and only a small percentage of errors found could not be allowed by the ; i judieh^-^ r ThC.originai ff&ts of Jjhe fifst prize Winner,was 65, and of the j > second prize winner 64, in each case only 13 mistakes being disallowed. ■ \ exercised considerable care in working out this puzzle, hhd all .are to be congratulated on the good work contributed. , School-bells have already rung for the first time in 1934, and the majority of Northlanders will spend this week settling down to the i old routine bf reading, ’ritifig and 'rithmetic. Homework, however, • will-not-be so very heavy .as to make it impossible for you to spend a ‘ mbmefit or bo in working put the interesting puzzle arranged today. ~ a dozen NeW Zealand place-names have been jumbled in an unusual I way, and it is the task of competitors to rearrange the letters in order that they will spell out the original names. further particulars are-given An . ,-the announcement page. ** CaislT prizes are’ again' of- jmJjJtJL* _ fered for good work received, so set to work at once and see if you can be one <of •■■the lucky Eangatira, ones.
