5 Tells of Adopting Baby Grow Pet and Teaching Him
Just
Between
Yourselves
. BY PHILIP III. LOVE,
Junior Star Editor,

Junior Star Editor.
If vacationing relatives and
friends have deluged you with post
cards that you don't know what to
do with, you ought to get acquainted
with Catherine Broderick.
For Catherine will take those
cards off your hands-and with
thanks. The 16-year-old Immacu-
late Conception Academy student
said as much in a letter listing some
OF the many places from which she
has cards.
If there is any one who throws
post cards away she wrote, Il would
appreciate it very much If they
would send them to me-"

Catherine used nearly five closely
written sheets of paper leach 8 by
lO1z inches) to jot down the names
OF the places represented in her COL
lection, and then ended the list with
the statement: These are just
few OF my post cards" I can't re-
peat the list here, because it would
make Just Between Ourselves"
sound more like geography lesson
than column in The Junior Star,
but counted the places represented
and there were IS of them.
Every time my neighbors receive
post cards, ask them right away to
save them for me when they get fin
ished with them" Catherine said.
They do 1t, too-because, if l didn't
ask for them they would just tear
them up and throw them away"
Catherine keeps her cards in "a
big brown-covered scrapbook." She
lives at 1913 v street Sc.
From Alma Belt. 14-year-old Sur
rattsville Md High School pupil,
comes this suggestion:
why not use little corner of
The Junior Star for the purpose Of
helping boys and girls start ac-
quaintanceships with other chill
dren?"
To show exactly what she had in
mind Alma wrote the following
typical letter.:
Calling all girls! Calling all
girls! How about writing to home
loving girl of IA? love to cook and
sew and do most any kind of do
mestic work Come to my rescue, all
you girls. Write me a letter and
III oe your pen pal for life"
An interesting proposal-but what
do you other readers think of it.?
Setting aside portion of this page
even just "a little corner" as Alma
uggests-would mean at least one
less story, or perhaps three or four
fewer poems, on this page each
week. Would it be worth it? Mean
while, for the benefit of any girls
who may wish to respond to Alma s
call" her address is: Route 4,
Anacostia, D. c.
Another proposal worth passing
on was made by Mary Katherine
Colean, II. who wrote:
There is just one thing I want
to call your attention to. You
haven't any paper dolls in your
paper. Couldn't you have paper
dolls every Sunday or every other
Sunday?"
Well, I don't know about the
every Sunday" part, Mary Kath-
erine, but If enough other readers
will write in to second your sugges-
ton, III see what can be done.
Adrienne Barry, author of this
weeks spending money" article, has
tried her hand at more than g
| dozen different kinds of business
at one time or another. Most in
teresting of all, she said was the
secondhand" business that she
and another girl once conducted
And we made little money out
OF it, too," she declared.

Hugh Duncan, author of the article
on building an ant castle, lives ir
New York, but his contribution wa:
too interesting to pass up on that
account. Hugh will be IS on Sep.

for publication. He is studying the
violin, has sung solos in church ane
hopes to be both a musician and 6
