MY MAIL BOX

Dear Old Peter, I do not (always) agree with yon for always giving the prizes to the neatest children, because there are a few children who could not be neat if they tried. Sometimes you should give them to the three first correct answers in. I hope you do not mind my suggesting this. Yours truly, Nolcen Loonies. No II don't mind at all friend Nolcen for your suggestion, but you see I must give prizes the fairest way possible and. if there arc a lot correct I have to find those of the greatest merit. Some can't be as tidy as others, but they must try, or they will never be. I know aliso the ones that, do try and therefore I often slip them a ticket, because of that. Of course you know Fd far rather give you all tickets when .you're correct, but sometimes this just can't be d/me. Cheerio and Avrito again. P.T.W. Dear Peter the Whaler, As it is not possible that I am not sending mj r letter because my certificate hasn't arrived, yet I would like you to send my certificate down to Awakeri. P.S. And I'm a boy please. Pure Diddle. Well, Avell, Avcll. I am surprised. Pure, my boy. I definitely thought you Avere a girl, by the nice name you had, but I apologise. It's funny you didn't get your certificate as I sent it especially. Well I'll send another, lad, and if you don't get tin's one we'll both take a tr'ip to j Wellington to see the PostmastcvGeneral. That's the proper thing to do isn't it? Your old friend P.T.W. Stoker Hylas Stewart. Now lad. you sent in the correct answers, but you typed, them. Please write in your own handwriting and then 1 can-judge your entry wilh ll); , -others. P.T.W.
