ink. Some write that they cannot
write neatly on newspaper and ask
that they be allowed to paste other
paper over the coupon on which to
write. That must not be done. but
If any difficulty is experienced in
writing with ink. a pencil may be
used-a soft one that makes a clear,
legible mark-or, If the contestant
has a typewriter or access to one.
typewriter answers could be made.
The main thing is that the answers
be easily legible so that the judges
may read them without difficulty.
Neatness and Eligibility will count a
