LAST WEEK'S COMPETITION

ESSAY ON HOLIDAYS "Well, I'm really disgusted, with the response, to this week's competition. Only one entry, and that you will read below. Its very good too and for a little lad I think it has definite promise. Congra)ts to you Rex! To you other landlubber's, I certainly hope 3'ou will give a better response next week. Here is Rex's effort which earns him a free picture ticket with my best compliments:— Dear Peter the. Whaler, Back to school we go after six weeks most enjoyable holiday. On Xmas morning all of our family packed up and headed for Ohope to spend a fortnight at. a rented house from which we. had a lovely view of 'the sea. The Aveatlier was perfect. a the water was very warm so my brother and I spent most of our time swimming.. We also spent a good deal 'of our time at the. swimming baths, and oh New Year's day I won two races for which I received five shillings. The last fortnight of the holidays I spent on a farm at Waimana where I had the 'time of my life riding horses and helping to milk cows. Ever 3- morning I went to the factory in the truck and it was very interesting. I can ride a horse as good as Hopalong. Cassidy now. REX MAJOR.
