The boys and girls of the sixth
grade at Cranch School have COM
posed . patriotic song. entitled "vic-
tory"
A copy Of the composition was
sent to me last week by Charles
Waterstraat, IL. Of 1011 L street
Sc, who is class secretary. The
words follow:
Three dots and q dash;
Let's all sape our trash.
For trash De get cash;
The Aris tce'H smash!
The class had hoped to make its
new song like Beethovens Fifth
Symphony" Charles explained in
an accompanying note. S'When we
finished" he added, we found it
was quite different" He continued:
I'VE are all out for defense. The
boys and girls in my room are max
ing many things to SELL With the
money we earn, we buy Defense
stamps.
II myself am making maps of the
war zones to sell. So far, I have
earned 50 in this way. For the 81 I
lent to Uncle Sam, he will be able
to buy 100 cartridges Of As caliber.
We're helping our country by
taking Red Cross first aid in our
room, too."
Charles, for one, likes the class
song very much" he wrote. add
ing: II know that. after you hear it.
you'll like 1t, too. I hope you will
like it well enough to publish 1t in
The Junior Star"
Which, of course, I did.
stiles Buddy Gardner, 6. has
opened a defense store" in the
basement Of his home at 1918 Dale
drive, Silver Spring, Md.
'I made my store out Of orange
crates" says Buddy, who is in the
second grade at Woodside School. II
have lots of cans and boxes on the
shelves. I have a cash register and
a desk.
"I had a grand opening" he con-
tinues. 1--WE made handbills on my
printing press and distributed them
around the neighborhood. I sold
homemade cookies and candy, and
the receipts totaleG s137. The
sugar and other things cost 81 cents,
so I have 81 profit to contribute to
the Red Cross"
Buddy Is real businessman,
all right. And 7 congratulate him.

Corner" of recent Junior Star of
the Air" writes: II just want to tell
you how much I appreciated being
allowed to take part in The Junior

all aspiring young writer's" i
Pierre Han. II, of Alice Deal Junior
High School, another j. S. prize WIN
ner who made" the radio, COM
ments: Thank you very much for
the check. 1t is the first have ever
received. and 1t is too bad that
cannot keep it. Broadcasting with
The Junior Star was thrilling ex-
perience. Everybody was so jolly
and helpful that I was not a bit
bashful. I enjoyed every minute OF
It." Similar sentiments are ex-
pressed by Constance Webb, Is, OF
Coolidge High School, who says: I
received the check and am thrilled
to pieces over it. Honestly, it's the
first check I've ever received in my
whole life. so you can imagine how
proud I am. Right now, I don't
know what I'm going to do with 1t,
but I'm seriously considering CASH
ing it and framing the dollar. The
experience of writing for the paper
and being on the radio is some
thing I prize even more than the
money. III never forget all the fun
had going to The Junior Star to
have my picture taken. and then
going to WMAL. 1t was wonder
ful."
