JQYS OF SPRING I always like to go walking in the spring, because there are so many things to see. That is the time of the year all the blossoms on the fruit trees are in bloom. It is a treat to go walking in the country or parks, ’ hen you are in the parks you hear the birds sing and you smell the flowers all a- round you. In the country it is so quiet, and if you wish you can pick poppies or sit down under a big tree and rest, ’ hen you are walking in the ' spring everybody around you seems happy and full of joy. They are glad to see the sun again. --Lorraine Trainer II9z ' EARNING MONEY MAKES IT VALUABLE ’ rr hen you earn your own money that means more to you than just getting it from your parents, ’ hen you get it from your parents you are careless and just spend it anyway. But when you ea n it, it’s different. You just hold that money as long as you have any of it. When you work and then receive your money, you do not think of spending it on candy or some other foolish thing. If every boy and girl did a back-breaking job for his money, the condy companies would be out of luck, be- cause boys and girls wouldn ' t want to work and then spend it on candy. They would save their money and be more careful in their work. — Charles Mercuric H9z ' LEARNING TO SAVE I think you should learn to save when you are young, so when you are older you know how to save. VThen you have your salary you haven ' t anything to worry about. But suppose you should lose your position then you won ' t be able to meet your bills or any other payments that you must meet. --Grace Schulz H9z ' EARNING MONEY IS A PLEASURE Every boy should try to earn his own money. There are many boys that do not work, because they afe too lazy. B °j s SyWfg »8? wo

A LONG HUNT I was standing near a school one day, when I saw a group of small children coming from one of the rooms. The teacher instructed them as to what they were to do. It was Easter and the children were going to have an Easter egg hunt, and were all excited. After a few minutes she told them that they could start to search for the eggs. The teacher said that there was only one blue Easter egg and the one who found that egg would be given a large chocolate cream egg. This hunt went on for almost an hour when one of the small children jumped from one of the small trees in the yard. Th e child was so excited that she could hardly wait to show it to the teacher. She was given the egg and was told to be care ful when she ate it because there was something in it. When the child had divided it with some other children she came a- cross a piece of paper which had a half a dollar in it. This was a very long hunt for one Easter egg. but she was rewarded after all. --Ethel Ha 0 an II9y BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE If you have a g ray-ha ir$d mother In the old home far away, Sit down and write the letter, You put off day by day. Don ' t wait until the tired steps Reach heaven ' s pearly gate But show her what you think of her Before it is too day. If you have a tender massage, Or a loving word to say Don ' t wait until you forget it But whisper it today. Who knows what bitter memories Hay haunt you if you wait, So make your loved ones happy Before it is too late. --Philip Antons H9y

boys that would like to earn money for themselves and for their mothers and fathers. I have worked selling papers, and have worked for people cutting grass and cleaning yards. Now I work in a butcher shop. I like to work when I am earning money, because then you can say that you worked for the money and not begged for it. --Peter Giovannoni H9z ' LEARNING TO SAVE Some people who were wealthy a few years are now hav- ing to save :their money, that they formerly had spent for fool- ish things, to buy food with it. The wealthy people have spend their money as if there was no value to it, but when stocks began going down and banks be- ing closed while men lost their jobs the wealthy folks began to sell their automobiles and houses so that they could live in a little apartment and have enough to live on. When times like this have come, it should show people who have spent their money foolishly that they should learn how to save . --Dorothy Wurnitsch H9z ' SPRING The pleasures of spring are in the air, The flowers and birds are every where. The squirrels in trees will always chatter. The children ' s feet on sidewalks clatter. The hills in the background are ever so green, From my front window it is a lovely scene. The air is clear and from dust free, And prospect of fruit on every tree. The people are gay and full of cheer, Tis the way they get year by year. The children too are happy and gay, As they travel merrily on their way, --Stewart Horton H9y '
