The Junior Stratford Evening Post

A Game For Your Party

Children’s Section

iDear Nieces and Nephews,— ■; I must thank all those boys and girls who have sent in letters and essays. It was indeed a treat to see that so many young folk are keen on the starting of the “page.” Coming to the task of selecting the winner of the competition, I would C indeed very much like to give everyone a prize, because the numbers received were large, and the writing, setting out, and general appearance of your essays were far above average. As the prize can only be won by one person I award it to P. Butchart (“Bluebell”). Really, “Bluebell, this is a fine little story, well written, and it does contain a very nice little moral. You children will find “Bluebell’s” essay printed on this page, and I’m sure you will agree with me that it is a fine attempt. Will “Bluebell” call at the Evening Post to-morrow and receive her prize? So close were the other letters and essays that a further prize of two picture tickets to the winner, and one ticket to the person coming second, will be given for the best letter received telling me all about your holidays or any other subject. This will close on Wednesday, at noon, October 14. Ido hope you will enjoy our own page and tell your pals. When writing will you say how old you are, also birthday and name, because these facts are to be taken into determining the prize-winners in our competition, should it not be possible to pick out anyone at first attempt. This page will grow if your correspondence, questions, etc. come in. Make this your own page. Ask questions, send in riddles, jokes, etc. From time to time interesting subjects will be dealt with and will, I feel certain, be welcomed by you. Good-bye till next week. Affectionately yours, UNCLE JACK.

i Here is a great game; for your ne£t party, but if mother of father have nerves they had better go out. Get a pound of i unshelled peanuts. Ask everyone to leave the room. While they are out of the room hide the peanuts in every nook and corner, behind pictures, under carpets, under the chairs, under tables, behind doors and even in the corners of the room. Do not. make them too hard to find, because if the furniture is upset mother won’t give you another party. When the peanuts are hidden briug the guests in and divide them into three teams, each having a captain. Then you name the teams—one team beingcalled cats, another dogs, aud the other sheep. The teams are then told to find the nuts, and Immediately anyone finds one they “meow,” “bark” or “bah” (whichever animal they represent) at the nut, until their captain comes and collects it. The team getting the most nuts wins. ! PUZZLE I wonder if any reader can put this jumble of letters in its correct order. It is a noun, large, white, and you see it nearly every day: ' TONGOTMONEM , : . (Answer next week.) This week’s advice to readers is; “Always keep your face to the sun and the dark shadows will fall behind.” —UNCLE JACK.
