Bride of placo is given to-dav to two of the winning letters in the bovs' contest, " What interests mo most in the Herald. ' Rogers •Navjor and Hugh Fleming have each written most excellent letters, and I ant only sorry we have not more boy members of their calibre on our membership list. That does not mean that I am not proud of our boy members as a class, for they are supporting our page right loyally, but I would like more of our boy readers to become members and take an active '' interest in tho boys' contests. Other letters in this interesting - contest, also carrying half-crown prizes, will be published later on. I am not going to set you any more competitions yet awhile, for I am sure all/your spare time will be taken up with" the Christmas contests and with preparation for your coming examinations. A large number of entries have been received in the Nature Scrap Book competition, and an announcement will be made -next week. Love to you all from ') CHEERS FOR THE "HERALD!" • .Dear Miss Morton,—.'tTurrnh! thrice hurfcafa!! when I see tho Herald, for I know there if a, good evening's reading ahead of ma Afteir my home-work is finished. 1 turn tirst pf all to "Boys and Girls, and alter r hasty ({lance over this page. 1 read "JCdtura Notes," on pago one of tho blipplement. This column is my favourite in the whole paper, and I read it with a relish, for it. "is educational, as well as interesting, although many other columns ou this page I eiijoy very much. Then I turn back to <?ur owu rage, . Bo.tb ntld Girls." and read it from beginning to i *nd. I often wish I could meet some of the .members of our Circle, for always it. is iso full of splendid items, that I feel like OJivtrr Twist, and would like to ' ask for more." -I enjoy the " News in Pictures, and usually attempt the Crossword Puzzle S and Eome of the Intellect Sharpeners, and although I am not successful, I find both these of interest, and the following week T * usually look up the solutions and work them again, this time, more correctly. Next. " The Motor Vt'oTld" claims my attention, and I enjoy the picture and illustrations that are printed around. , After this, I pick out any item of interest in the rest of the Hekai.d that? takes my fanpy. and as the clock tells me the hour is getting late. I put the paper with regret, happy in the thought that I belong to tho " Herald Circle," and a wish that I may be able to help mako our page th« best i of its kind in the Dominion. _ , . ! —Yours lovingly, Rogers Naylor, Cambria Street, (aged 10). NEWS OF THE WORLD. 1 Dear Miss Morton,—To me. the most interesting part of the Herald is the cable ! page. Every morning, when I get tjie paper, • ! I turn to it immediately. Here I find all ! the news of tho world. I am able know ■j what'.'is happening in other countries; I I read what is happening in Europe, England. | America, and other places. By reading this j page I can—as everyone wishes to do — ! broaden my mind and sharpen my intellect. / I I can discuss with others, everyday matters { of the world, and any person who cannot ! do bo is looked upon as narrow-mind, or f « " muff," although they need not neceai Barily be so. In this page are printed accounts ; of political battles, new inventions, and : other matters. Here also are recorded the i achievements of motor speed-fiends or the i results of an air-race, and alas, too often, an • i ■ nccoiint- of an aeroplane crash, or motor ! crash, in which one or more lives have | been lo3t. Thus by reading this page of news ! from other lands I help to educate myself, j O£ course on Saturday? I always turn first to the " Boy 3 and Girls" page, which I read avidly. —Your sincere pen-friend. Hugh Fleming, Grand Yue Road, (age 11 years). TONGARIRO CHATEAU. Dear Miss Morton, —I would like to tell J-ou about my visit to the Tongariro National Park and the Chateau. It was a ■wonderful morning when we left home, a ! lovely blue »ky and a bright blazing euu ; with the mountains in tho background I wa'de a beautiful picture. When we arrived i it was dinner time. si"> we had a lovely 1 dinner, and ?tar*ecl out for a •walk up the j mountain. We did not get far, however, i when we were pelted with snowballs, so that started a, snow-fight which lasted quite i a while. After we had finished we found it was time to go back, a? we had not yet seen the chateau. On entering the kitchen i the first thing that caught our eyes was tho ctove. It stood in tho middle of tne room i 'and had four ovens and two fireplaces. Tho ! next room wo entered .was the ballroom, j -with a huge window which took up all the 1 Bide of one wall. Old Ngaruahoe, throwing . j up smoke like a big chimney, fitted the "•V 1 Window like a huge picture. It was a won- • i darful picture too. covered as. it was with ' snow from crown to base. We just had tinio - to take some snaps of the chateau, then a.I ' were ready to start on the -50-mile motor trip home. After we had gone some distance we looked back and the mountain wj\s b, gorgeous rink with the setting From your loving pen-friend, Peggy Smith, Hikuruutu, Taumarunui.
