2Win $500 Spelling Bee Firsts
As Judges Run Out of Words

One sure way to win q spelling
bee-rattle of every word you get
until the judges run out of words,
That's the way yesterdays an
nual National Spelling Bee at the
National Press Club was won.
After the judges had tipped
through three supplementary lists
not one. but two, youngsters were
still in the spelling.
So. for the first time in the bee S
23-year history. both got first
prizes: $500 and a trip to New York
for each. They were 12-year -old

called her wrong. put her out

down for the count.
Young Colquitt almost trippeo

put in only one "r."

Hiya Neighbor-Did you know
that the name January is derived
from the two-faced god, Janus?
In mythology he was originally
the god of light and day but as
the time went on he became re.
garded as the god of the Begin
ming of things. Therefor the be-
ginning of the year was sacred
to Janus and a festival in his hon
or was celebrated. At the be-
ginning of any important under
taking his advice and assistance
was sought 1t would seem
that Janus is still being two-fac-
ed, at least where the weather is
concerned, because one day it's
spring and the next it's winter
and one never knows which face
Janus will be showing tomorrow.
