SUSAN COLLINS
20l2 Lyndale Avenue South

But Lincoln day had more than it's
usual memorial significance for the
youngsters this year, because of the
fact that Mrs. Ann Connolly of No. 517
Forest Ave. had offered prize of ten
dollars for the best essay by pupil
of the seventh or eighth grades deal
ing with the great Emancipator. Mrs.
Connolly has always been a great ad-
mirer of the martyred president, and
took this method of cultivating a SIM
liar generation and love for him in the
minds and hearts of the children. The
pupils of these grades range from -
to IA years of age, and when the an
nouncement was made by the Princi-
pal, Sister Frebonia, all appetites were
whetted for the feast of knowledge.
The announcement was made four
test, which took place on Feb. s. The
pupils were told to read up and gather
wherever they could all the knowledge
and data they could concerning the
subject in the four intervening days.
In the four rooms of these grades
there are over $50 girls and boys and
all bent their energies to the work
with a will. The school and public
libraries as we'll as family libraries
were ransacked and every work per-
tanning to Lincoln was studied as thor
oughly as might be possible in the
limited time available.
The contest was conducted under
the direction of the Principal, who
took care that there were no books of
reference within reach of the COM
petitors. Blank sheets of paper were
placed on the desks and the order
given to proceed. The Sisters in
charge then carefully sifted the best
four compositions from all turned in,
and these were submitted to the pas
tor, Rev. T. E. Cullen, for final adjudi-
cation. Father Cullen selected that
of Susan Collins, 2012 Lyndale Ave-
N, as the most meritorious, and to her
was handed the ten-dollar check of
Mrs. Connolly. Honorable mention,
too, was made of the essay of Irene
Hoy of No. SIG Western Ave. The
winner had the further honor of read
ing her paper in each of the four
rooms of the grades in the contest.
We present herewith picture of
Miss Collins, who is 10 years of age.
Her winning essay is, also given.

HOW MANY WILL COME BACK.

How much does each one of us want
the young men who have gone or will
go to France to come back? That may
!be measured by the sacrifices we are
willing to make. we who stay at home.
The number of men who come back
from France will be governed by the
number of men at home who make
sacrifices.
That is the striking way in which
Mr.. Frank A. Vanderlip, who is at
the head of the War Savings cam
2aink, puts it. Had you ever thought
OF. it in that way before? Had it ever
occurred to you that by denying your
self things you can do without, by
saving money and buying War Say
ings stamps, you will help to bring
back some man who has gone to fight
for your liberty and safety while
you remain at home?
Every dollar each of US invests in
War Savings stamp is a dollar ded-
icated to the high and sacred purpose
IF standing by the men who GO to the
front. For purpose like that each
of US should be willing to buy War
Savings stamps till it hurts, till it
represents real sacrifice.
To raise the amount allotted to
,ssObesO6 County is going to take the
united effort of every person in the
county. But it can be done and will
be done. It is challenge to the peo-
pie Of Robson to go "over the top"
