day this week. drawn by the pens or

them have stood on their heads. others
while standing in this difficult position

some iugcled with balls and tables,
some skated. some twirled other
clowns IN the air while they themselves
lay fiat on their backs: some danced
some balanced objects on their heads
and hands. some danced on barrels;
one did q trick on a bicycle. a few
stood on their heads and balanced
Eddie on their feet. In fact, we could

It is good 10 know that so many of
our readers like to draw and can draw
So well We feel sure that Edie and
Eddie will ask for more drawings, so
Jet us keep our pencils sharp and our
pens ready, and don't let us forget TO
