NOTICE TO CONTEST
ANTS IN PICTURE
PUZZLE CONTEST

The time limit for sending in
answers sets to the Picture Puz-
zle Pastime expires at II o'clock
noon today. No answer sets will
be received after that hour. This
rule will be strictly adhered to.
Shortly after the closing hour
the Contest Editor in the pres
ence of the proprietor and judges
will break the seal ON the official
list of answers and give into the
possession of each a copy of
same.
The checking process will be
under the direction of the Con-
test Editor and the judges will
have access at any time during
the checking process and will de-
eide any questions that may
arise.
Many have written inquiring
if it was allowable to send in ad-
ditional solutions after they
have sent in their answer sets.
The editor would very much like
to do so but as it would surely
lead to complications and in a
way be unfair to other contest
ants, all such requests cannot be
considered or complied with. A

few have expressed the wish to
have their sets returned after
the contest is over and this too
must be refused and the reason
for this should be obvious to all.
Many, many letters have been
received during the contest ex-
pressing the pleasure and in
structiOn that has been derived
from the Pastime. Such letters
have been a source of satisfac-
ton to the Journal and it feels
that the contest has proved its
worth. The Journal takes espe-
cial pride in the fact that, unlike
contests of a similar nature, it is
strictly a homemade" contest,
originating wholly within the Of
flee of the Journal and with fea-
lures that have not only made it
an amusing contest but an in
structive one as well.
The Journal would now ask
the contestants to be patient and
await the completion of the
checking process and announce
ment of the winners. Meanwhile
the publication of the pictures
and correct solutions in sets of
four will begin in Monday MORN
