About = week before last Christmas,
my girl friend and I were rummag-
ing through her grandmother's attic
when we came upon q huge box of
post cards. Together, We lifted it
downstairs, since the light in the
attic was dim and we wanted to look
at the cards.
Her grandmother told US she had
saved post cards as q hobby when
she was young, but they were of no
use to her now, and we could have
them.
At first. we decided we would soak
the stamps of and use them in our
collection, but after looking at the
cards We agreed that would not do
very we'll, since the stamps were nearly
all alike. suggested we make post
card collections as her grandmother
had done, and my friend agreed.
The rest Of the week seemed to fly
by, and Christmas arrived before we
knew 1t. 50 engrossed were we in
sorting and dividing our post cards.
On Christmas I received q photo
graph album. which was dandy to
keep my cards in. I have arranged
them alphabetically, and it is very
easy to put new cards in any time
want to, since all I have to do is
put In an extra page.
Although it may not sound very
loyal to my friends, the farther away
they 60 on their vacations the better
1t is for my collection.

My most interesting pet was a squir-
rel that I raised early this summer.
He apparently had fallen from his
nest, and he was utterly exhausted
when one of our neighbors found him
and gave him to me.
He was SO young he did not know how
to eat, SO fed him warm milk from
a nursing bottle which came with one
of my sisters dolls. 1t was fun to
watch him drink When he was
thirsty he would drink so fast that he
would choke, and the milk would cover
most of his face
In a few weeks he could eat nuts,
grain and other food
Shortly after found him I made a
cage in which he could sleep and
would be safe from dogs. In the day.
time I kept Buster-which 1 named
him for no good reason at all-in a
pen. in the back yard. One of his

when walked around the yard.
When Buster was old enough to take
care of himself let him go.

PRIZE CONTRIBUTION.

By PORTIA kAHLER, II. of 627 In
graham street NV, Roosevelt High
School.
Four years ago, on the way to my
grandmother's home in Nebraska, my
mother and father and stopped at the
Chicago Worlds Fair. AS we had a
very limited time to spend there, we
| wanted to see the high spots
Having decided that the Sky Ride
was one of these, we purchased our
tickets and boarded the elevator. The
Sky Ride" was small car that ran
500 feet above Lake Michigan.
After we were in the car and had
started to go across, we noticed a
slight lurching. 1t soon stopped
however, and we decided it was
natural.
The view was excellent and we could
see the whole city Of Chicago, as well
as the beautiful fair grounds.
AS we neared the middle of the ride
the car began to lurch again, the jerky
movement becoming more and more
noticeable all the time. Suddenly we
stopped!
Some one asked the driver what
was wrong, and he replied that he
was as puzzled as we were. There we
were, 500 feet above deep lake in a
car hardly bigger than a canoe.
One woman became hysterical and
somehow that had quieting effect on
the rest of the passengers. We could
see how useless and childish 1t was
to become panicky. So We sang and
told jokes for the two hours we were
stranded.
The mechanics worked furiously and
efdciently, and we crossed the rest of
the way safely-with only memories
that can never be erased of a thrill
ing and exciting two hours.

ing down gravel road one afternoon
. large automobile passed us. 1t went
down the road about half a mile,
then turned and came back. One of
its occupants, a woman, said we had
thrown stone at it.
We knew we had not thrown any
stones. so we felt safe. However, the
woman said she was going to get the
sheriff and take us to jail. I don't
think she could have said anything
that would have scared us more.
We were so scared that we ran all
the way home and told our story to
daddy. He assured us that we were
safe-and he was right, for the sheriff
never came.
