The Children's Corner

-and I’m not going to breathe a word till it is. Dear Radio Children,-The result of aur last Painting Competition will be announced next week, and it is going to be terribly hard to decide which is really and truly the best. The work sent in so far is much hetter than any we have had before, so I really think you have been making use of. the hints on painting I tried to give you in one of' my letters. Anyway, the result does you all credit; my one regret is that the painted pictures*cannot be reproduced in our corner. Never mind, we have the satisfaction of seeing our Zoo grow in beauty(!7) and splendour, one by one, like the animals walking into the Ark. I rather think Mr. Noah would have been a wee bit staggered if some of our specimens had strolled into his menagerie instead of coming to our zoo! . Are you all very interested in the Carillon that is soon coming to Wellington?. Won’t it be wonderful to hear it broadcast all over New Zealand? ‘The boys and girls of Canada had a wonderful time on July 1, which, as you may know, was the Diamond Jubilee day ‘of Canadian Federation. A new Carillon has been installed in the Victory. Memorial Tower of the House of Parliament at Ottawa, and the very first peal was rung by the King, by means of an electrical signal from London. Isn’t that wonderful to think of? The peal was broadcast all over Canada, so that’ millions had the opportunity of hearing it. So many of my boys and girls write and ask if they may "join" our corner, so I have decided to give all of you something very definite to "join." I have been thinking about something you would all love te belong to, for some time now, but it isn’t quite ready yet d However, soon now I will tell you about it. Aren’. you curious to know what it is? It’s a lovely surprise for you, and if you all keep your ears and eyes wide open (do ears open?) you'll know very, very soon. I hope you will read the notice in our Corner about the 3YA Uncles, so that you will know when to listen for them. Thank you all for your letters, My love to you,
