MARGARET s. KOVEL
 GETS THE S5 SPOT
Special Prize for Virginia Dalbey
 Of East Berlin

The Herald Want Ad Judge sings hls swan song today and Wil. pre- vail upon you 10 hark back with him for tho past few weeks and let him opinr q hit, One young lady not so long ago, wrote in that her poetry should f win the prize, would surprise her mother. If she won, if would have been the judge who was surprised, others tried 10 vamp the judge by writing honeyed words about his ability. Many poems were received adNcr- Using the ability of the pulling power Of tho Herald Classified Ads, These poems did not get the prize because if wouldn't be fair 10 tho Herald's vast army of Classified Ad. ver,isers. Many poems were re- cqived anent other topics Glcancd from the columns of the Herald. These automatically got the gate and ended up in the oyerstullcd waste basket
 The most fun was of course, de rived from the children, Away hack in Greek mythology, those sturdy old story tellers were wont 10 tell of an especially talented gen. tleman who traveled extensively in the Greek Antilles. even extending to the gateway of the Archipclagocs. On one old island, this ancient Greek saved the lives of numerous reptiles, isps and whatnots. One night when "his nibs" was asleep the snakes cleaned his ears out with their long tongues, When he .4woke in day or so (they sleep q couple Of days at time in the iropics) he could understand the language Of the eerpents and bir1ies, The above story is given to you for it's worth. but secondly only to illustrate point the Judge had to settle
 One "kiddie" had been writing in poetry, he was getting no results, As final attempt, the boy told the Judge in q P S Of confidence that his ears were washed The poem that time was good one. so if this roungster knows the name of the poet who washed his ears, he better keep it to himself for he can have hts ears washed again the next Herald contest. You sec, children, there may be something to that Greek stuff after all, and it behooyes all of you to study the classics
 Now that you have all laborcd through the above lines, the Judge will make his final award of S5 to Margaret S. kovel of l27 Greenwood street.
 As a special compensation, the Judge awards s 10 little Virginia Dalbey. who is only eleven years old. The Judge IS afraid that little Virginia has a greater respect for he truth than the Judge himself. ''n the paper is q note from the tile miss from East Berlin, saving mat the poems were typewriter Tor her. which Is honesty which pleases the Judge The special $2 prize is 10 encourage her in paths of truth and encourage all children 10 volunteer truthful information. There are many little children, Eir- ginia, who arc learning fair ideas every day, and will be delighted with your display Of fairness The first piece of poetry is Miss Koyfls md last four little offerings are NirEinia's, Before this contest is over I just want 10 try my luck Tor the sake of my artietic tenn
