TO win prize. If il had not been for
something else that The Herald gave
me TO do, I might have tried to win
other prizes-but I am very grateful
for one.
BY my smallest clock, it took one
minute TO write that jingle. At the
same rate. one could make three hun

beautiful playhouse the little folks at
