Leland Girl Has Dolls
From Foreign Lands
Prise Contribution
By Trieio Bloom, Il
leIond Junior High School

Ever since I was about 5 I have
been collecting foreign dolls. Now
I have II dolls from eight different
countries.
Two of my first dolls were from
Hawaii and Germany. They both
have long hair, and at that time
were nearly as large as myself.
One Of my fondest dolls is Jackie,
a German boy with a cute China
head and brilliant auburn hair. MY
grandfather got Jackie and a doll
from India on a trip around the
world. The Indian doll. garbed in
native clothes, has jewelry typical
of her country.
A. Chinese fisherman is one of my
favored dolls because of his humble
beauty. Also in my collection is a
weird example of two dolls from
Bali. A Russian doll, a set OF
Chinese dolls and an Australian
doll are others represented in my
collection.

think New Year one of the gay
est and best holidays of the year.
1t is not only the time for noise
making and the ringing out OF the
old year, but it is also like turning
over a new leaf.
It is brand new year, and per-
son can make 1t either good or bad.
He can make resolutions and break
them or stick by them. This Is
really the best time Of the year to
improve yourself and be better
person throughout the next year.
1t is easy to make resolutions, but
the test is whether they will be
carried out or broken within the
next few weeks. Although it is hard.
with a strong will you can carry
them out!
