CONTESTANT.
No, only do not cut off the serial
number of the coupon at the top.
Pictures need not accompany the

Dear Proverb Editor;
Can I write the answers to the
proverbs on large sheet OF paper
without the pictures and coupons2 In
answering some proverbs / find the
answers too long and will not fit on
the two lines. IL ! crush the words
together the paper will not look neat.
What would you advise me to dot
F. GOODMAN.
The rules say that the coupons
published with each picture must be
used Pictures need not be sent with
the coupons, as coupons are numbered
and thus identify the picture to which

You can correct an error in any
way YOU see fit before sending ir
your answers. 1t would seem to me
to be~a safe, easy and neat way Il
secure a duplicate coupon and rewrits
your answer very carefully.
