Nancy Beatty says she has become very interested in the Kupe Club since Princess and Kupe visited Tangiteroria.—Glad to hear from you, Nancy. Yes, we have seen a few spring lambs. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Kaitaia —but my word it was wet. Florence Adams —We haven’t yet fixed a day, Florence. Perhaps we’d better wait now, until after the school holidays, Jean Drever—Betty’s on the sick list again, Jean. However, it’s only a minor complaint this time. Edith Parata— Bad luck that you can’t have a calf club this year, Edith. I’ll pass bn the news to Mr Dennehy.' Gertie Murray (hon. secretary of of Whangape Native School Calf Club) writes to say that her school has started a club for this year. There are ten members, and others intend linking up—So you found “All v about Calf Clubs” interesting, Gertie. I know it will be very useful to calf club members. Ron Langridge— Thanks for the good wishes, Ron. Thanks for returning the half-crown prize and placing it in the orphanage subscription list. Lilian Drake—Twenty-two points already, Lilian. Won’t be long now before you have another book, Bettye L. Walsh, Pretoria Street, Zillmere, Brisbane, Queensland, Aus-, tralia, is very anxious to hear from penfriends in Northland. She is particularly interested in stamp collection. Any one who cares to correspond may write direct. Shirley Dahl—We’ve quite recovered, Shirley. Nevertheless, the Far Northern trip was the wettest either the Princess or I have ever, undertaken.

Glory Thorbum —You’ll find a competition in every Tuesday’s page. You liked the C and E picture particularly, I suppose. Best wishes. Norma Mason—How wretched to have measles.
