Halloween Poems:
About two months ago, we made
some Halloween poems. T h e
teacher picked some of them for
us to read at our party. | can re-
member my poem.
Witches and goblins,
And things of great height,
They all come out
On Halloween night.
There are witches on broom
sticks,
And bats in the air,
And all kinds of faces
To give you scare.
Katherine Griffith
Clay Animals
Making clay animals is fun. You
take the clay and shape it the way
you want it. If something falls off,
you rub a little water on the parts
and hold them together for a min
ute We painted our animals with
glaze and Mr. Bassols baked them
They came out shiny, like glass.

Red Squirrels
In reading we made reports on
the animals we read about | made
a report on red squirrels. Red
squirrels are tame. So you can al
most pet them. Also, they eat weed
seeds, bites OF orange skin, nuts
and acOrnS.

We have been learning many
new things this year and all have
been interesting to us. But the
subject that seems the favorite of
most is the study of the earth and
the different ways people live.
We are learning new words.
Some of these words are axis,
rotate, revolution, equator, hemis-
phere, continent, and many others.
We have learned that the United
States is a country on the Conti-
nent of North America. We took
an imaginary trip from New York
to San Francisco. We discovered
that people raise different things
in the states where they live be-
cause of the location and the eli
mate.
We travelled southeast to the
Continent of South America. On
the way we learned about the
Panama Canal and how it shorten
ed the trips for ships going from
the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific
Ocean. We saw filmstrips which
showed Illustrations of how the
locks work. We thought this was
very interesting.
We studied about the Amazon
River, where it rises, and in what
direction it flows. We added some
new words to our vocabulary,
namely, basin, source, and mouth
when used with the word, river.
We know the Andes Mountains
are in the western part of South

therefore. simulated, or grainy and
consequently cultured. they say
Simulated pearls are usually
made of glass bead or plastic CEN
terS covered with layers of lus-
trous substance of fish scales.
Cultured pearls are developed by
inserting a tiny irritant into the
fleshy interior of an oyster. The
oyster builds a coat around it.
Natural pearls are built by the
oyster around a speck of sand or
some other natural intruder.
The naked eye cannot tell the
difference between the two kinds
of culturd pearls. Experts rely on
X-ray reports.

America just like the Rocky Noun
tains are in the western part OF
the United States.
We saw filmstrips of several
countries of South America and
they showed us some of their
they do.
We read that most of the people
speak Spanish, and we are learn
ing a few words and expressions.
We are now studying about
Brazil and their new capital city,
pictures of that city on television
and in magazines. This city is go
ing to be to Brazil what Washing

Of the many products from Bra
Zl, coffee is one of the most i'm
portant. We learned it comes from
berries of the coffee tree We read
about how they are picked and
dried. Then they are sent to the
factories where they are roasted.
The next country we shall study
is one named for the equator We
know it is Ecuador because that
means equator in Spanish.
We hope you have enjoyed this
short trip with us.

MRS. LlNCOLN'S NEW CARRIAGE
The N. Y. Express gives an account of Mrs
Lincolns purchase of q new carriage in New

purchase was at last made at the price Of

the carriage should be forwarded to Wash

mention-that 1t should be in the Capital for

How does South know that
the opponents can take only
three club tricks? The opening
lead Of the deuce Of clubs is his
evidence.
Most bridge players lead the
fourth-best card of q broken
suit against no-trump contracts.
This means that there are three
higher cards Of the suit In the
leaders hand. When the deuce
is led, there are three higher
cards. but cannot be any lower.
For this reason, the lead of a
deuce usually indicates a four
card holding. The lead of q
three means the same thing If
the deuce Is in sight or is played
by the leaders partner.
The lead Of q higher card,
such as a four or five, often
indicates a longer suit since the
leader may have the three or
the deuce under the card he has
led. If all the lower cards are
in sight, however, the lead in
dicates only four-card suit.
You can't stake your life on
these indications, since some
opponents craftily lead the
deuce from a five-card suit in
the hope of deceiving a trustful
declarer. Still. it's usually safer
to trust a deuce to mean q four
card suit than to risk a switch
to q more dangerous suit.
Daily Question
Partner opens with one dia-
mond. and the next player
passes. You hold:
AK72 0ss54 o62 @QJ72
What do you say?
Answer: Bid / Mt. The hand
is worth q response. but the
heart suit Is not worth mention
ing with the average partner.
Respond one heart. however,
with an expert partner who is
used to responses IN very weak
four-card suits.

Answer-I sympathize with
you in your pet peeve-but I
cannot agree thatethe speakers
you cite are wrong in their
positioning Of "only." Your
turmoil -the-century school
teacher held that the adverb
only" must be placed as
closely as possible to the word
1t modifies. So, such a sentence
as Miss Sothern's should
properly be This will take only
a minute"
But language practice S
change. even in the space Of a
mere half-century, and a lot of
ideas your teacher would have
championed in 1900 would fall
on unreceptive ears today. Just
as no one today frets overmuch
about split infinitives and
propositions at the ends of

about only" is not shared by
leading language authorities
today.

GUIDE by Prof. Porter Perrin,
the most widely used college
textbook on writing in America: /:
'The Importance of the posi-
ton Of only has been greatly
exaggerated. Logically per-
haps. it should stand i'm
mediately before the element
modified. But usage is cor
spicuously in favor of placing
only before the verb of the
statement. placing only
with the verb is a character
istic and reputable English
idiom."
I could give many other
instances of this use of "only"
by reputable writer's and
speakers. but this is enough to
indicate that Benny. Nixon

can idiom in the remarks
