GIRLS OF CANBY LAKE Last summer in June, four girls and I went to Canby lake to spend our vacation. The girls name's were Hazel, Louise, Mary and Florence. We lived in a large house, where there were very many boats. One day we took a boat to go fishing. We got in and went out on the lake. While we were busily engaged in fishing we did not notice a large black cloud which bung threateningly above us. A swift gust of wind made us realise our danger. Florence and Hazel took their places at the oars and pulled with all their might. Although they were considered good in handling a boat we could make bo progress against the wind. We were being driven farther away from our house every instant. Although we were all scared, we said nothing. The wind howled and the big waves looked as they would swamp us every minute. We were so frightened that we did not see a large motor boat that had come up behind us. It was the owner of the house, Mr. Moore, where we boarded, who had come to search for us. We were trans ferred, not to our sorrow, to the motor boat and we were soon at home. After this, we never left shore far without having, Mr. Moore with us.

The Kittens and the Mouse Once upon a time there was a cat that had two kittens. One was black and the other was white. The mother was black with a white ring around her neck. There was a pile of books on the floor. Next to the books was a bottle of ink and a roll of paper. They saw a mouse under the roll of paper. Its tail was sticking out. The kittens saw it and kept waiting for it to come out. Their names were Blackie, Whitie and Spotie. They ran after it and knocked the books down and spilt the ink on the roll of paper. They tracked it all over the house. They caught it and took it over in the backyard and had a nice feast and that was the end of the mouse. By Florine. Mitchell, Chester School. MIKE AND CARRIE Mike and Carrie are dead: Out in the Glen was their home; No more will they roam, Or nod their heads. As the children look The monkeys would try to read a book. No more peanuts wll they eat Or try to stand on their heads Instead of their feet. Or wash their faces And get out of places. I dont know if they were married But this is the end of Mike and Carry.

Query Corner

The editor will try to answer questions readers of the Junior submit to her. She will not promise to answer till of them. The questions will bo auswered in rotation, so do not expect the answer to bo printed in the same week in which you send It in. Dear Aunt Molly: Why are blackberries red when they are green? A High school student. Dear High school student: I think .that a high school student -would know enough not to ask such a foolish question. The only answer that I know is that they are not ripe. Ed. Dear Aunt Molly: Why do girls wear veils? Howard Hosbrook. Dear Howard: Some veils are used as a protection from the wind but most of the veils worn now are for purely ornamental purposes. Ed. Dear Aunt Molly: What does "Atta boy" mean? John Henry. Dear John Henry: The only place that I have heard the expression "Atta boy" was at a base ball game, and the words were emphasized by the clicking together of pop bottles. It was used after a specially good play had been made and means "That's the boy," Ed. Dear Aunt Molly: I think that George Washington could tell a lie but did not want to, don't you? Catherine Frye. Dear Catherine: Yes, I believe that that was the real reason Washington did not lie. Ed. Dear Aunt Molly: Do you know any thing that will change the color of my hair? It is red Roy A. Dear Roy: I am not a beauty doctor. You should leave your hair the color it is but then if you really and truly want your hair a different color, bleach it. Aunt Molly.
