PAINTING COMPETITION.

BZ ELSHB K. MORTON. Our second " Bib and Bub " painting competition has proved a great success, as I was sura it would, and once again I had a hard job deciding which were the best entries from all those sent in. The prizes of five shillings each have been awarded to: Dulcie JJisarn, Taneatua (age 11). Mollie Atkinson, Portland School (age 10). Highly commended: over 10; Beryl Whybrow, Galbraith "St., Waihi; Frank Hall, Mangapehi, King Country; Dorothy Armstrong, Park Road, Te Awamutu. Under 10: Patricia Hazard, Hamilton (age 9); Norma Tregoweth, Thames (ago 7); Gona Turner, Matamata (age 5). Special mention: (over 10); Beryl Taylor, Warkworth; Mary Cruickshank, St. Heliers; Nancy Bamford, Epsom; Jessie Bland, Portland School; Joan Parsons, Devonport; Elsie Waring, Manurewa. Under 10: Betty Sim, Tauranga; Keith Parker, Christchurch; Gweh Kelly, Morrinsville; Nora Fulton, Fi'ankton Jnc.; Robert Woolfield, Waimana; Anthony Budd, Morrinsville. Congratulations to the prize-winners on their good work, and a word of sympathy with all those who just missed. Most of the entries were very good, even better than those sent in for the Christmas Competition, which shows you the value of keeping on trying. I was particularly pleased with the work of the tiny folk, for there were quite a lot of entries from little five-year-Ids. Some very good

work was also sent in by pupils who,had been allowed to do their paintings in school, and I must thank teachers and parents alike for their supervision. , I hope you will all keep on practising your Bib and Bub painting, for later on there will be another competition, and at the end of tht» year, I will have all the pictures made up into scrap books for the little sick and orphan children. But don't send me any more paintings till tho next competition, please! i "" ~ H - ~~ . nmiiiiitlnltm TPOTI llrtH I A I
