Hats off, amateurs, to q clever
young miss who takes the $40

She is Miss Sarah Anne Rapp,
Of TAT Quebec Pl. N. W., whose
piece on the history Of May Day
led all the rest Of the stories in
the past four weeks, for timeli-
ness, information and style.
Veteran Writer
In addition to the May Day
winning story, Miss Rapp has
contributed numerous other sto-

them well done and cleverly writ
ten. In every weeks mail, there is
bound to be story from Miss
Rapp, and the chances are each
time that her contribution will be
worth while.
We say again, hats off to q
clever young miss.
This weeks section is again q
triumph for our amateurs. We
can say with justifiable pride that
the section takes on new value
every week that it appears, and
It isn't with any flattery that we
say to our amateurs that they are
doing q grand job.

One thing. however, might be
apropos at this point. and that
is that some Of you take great
delight in telling stories in the

that the "deadline" is Wednesday
