Olive Allan.—We’re very sad about your loss, Olive. We hadn’t heard. Hope the brothers are. all well in their various camps. Best Christmas wishes to you. Violet. Hill.—We didn’t wonder Who the

"intruder” was, Violet, but we did wonder who the very nice writer was. What a host of pets. Did the rabbits live? Let's hear from you again, please. Doreen Jones.—The weather is mixed, Doreen, though lately it has been nice and summery. Good luck with your exam.

Phyllis Harvey.—We like Kaitaia, thanks, Phyllis. Calf club judgings are on the go in the Far North, too. Glad yon were so successful with Gem.

Olwen Morphett.—lt’s good to hear from you again, Olwen. Princess and I were talking of you recently and wondering if you wore still at. Kaingaroa. Our regards- to mother and father. Thanks for _ the painting and the riddles. Bill Dwyer.—Are you a “helping bov” like the S.P., Bill? He liked your drawing very much. Sheep, lambs and shearing have been added to his list of interests now. Congratulation to “Victory”— perhaps the name did help. Zee MacTavish.—Swimming isn’t getting a good innings anywhere so far, Zoe, but maybe the weather will settle soon. What thrills a new hall and school will be. Something to look forward to next year.

Laura Johnson. —You keep the postman busy, Laura. I didn’t notice you that day. Next time stop me and let me know wlio you are. The S.P. and S.S.P. are still enjoying the animals and lately have become acquainted with sheep and lambs of all shapes and sizes. Milly Pavlovich.—Yes, uncommon riddles are hard to find. I've picked out some of yours for the page, Milly. Next time write on one side of the paper only, or the iinotypists get cross. Beverley Rowlands—Nice feeling when exams are over, isn’t it. The S.S.P. is ihe mischievous one—she teases everybody. Yes, we have some badges and they cost 9d. Nellie McGee. —Good to hear from you again. Nellie. Hope your family are 'all well. Remember us to all our Whangaruru friends. The Princess is well and so are the two little ones, and all enjoying country life. Brian Hodren.—Too bad about the camp, Brian, but I guess there'll be more chances. Good luck in the exams and don’t forget to write again. Dawn Price The points are mounting up, Dawn, keep going. We like being up here.
