M g THE SHIPIBUILDER 15 XVHAT BECAME OE MY DIME? XVhile I was walking along Main street I happened to see something shining in the gutter. I picked it up and examined it and found it was a dime. Seeing a candy store on one side and an ice cream parlor on the other side I did not know what to buy. I thought I was lucky. I tossed it up. If it came down on heads I would buy candy, if on tails buy ice cream. To my surprise it went in the sewer so I didn't have either. Louisa R. Prince, Grade 6 MY ADVENTURE DN THE ICE Une day Alexander and I went skat- ing. NVe were playing Fox and Hounds. I was a fox and Alexander was a hound. just as he was chasing me I went in the weakest part of the ice and I was going so- fast that I could not stop. just as soon as I fell in I hollered 'tDanger! Keep away! but Alexander did not hear me so he went also. The ice sounded like breaking glass when it broke. It was very cold, so when I got my skate wet it froze to ice and when I wanted to go home I could not untie my shoe-string because it had frozen to ice. I had to melt it with my fingers. I had a very exciting time. The next time I go skating I will be sure the ice is good and hard so I won't fall in again. This has taught me a lesson to keep off weak ice. Yllalter G. Haslett, Grade 6 ,lili-li.i.t-. GATHERING AND PACKING ORANGES About six years after the seeds have been planted, the orange trees begin to bear what we call commercial crops. The United States Department of Agriculture, after several years of ex- perimentation, has discovered that the reason fruit decayed in transportation was because of careless handling in picking and packing. The skin of an or- ange is easily bruised. That makes it easy for the decay to attack it any time. Nowadays the laws are very strict. They have inspectors going to the trees and packing houses to see that the laws are obeyed. Now they have trained 'men to do the picking and packing. Priscilla josselyn, Grade 5 THE STONE The stone had many wishes, And one of them came true, Because an elf and Fairy Queen Knew exactly what to do. The stone wished to talk with hu- mans, .Iust to have a little chat About their troubles and their wor- ries, To tell them how to act. Thelma Peterson, Grade 6 STDPPING A QUARREL A short time ago I decided to feed some blue jays whose nest was in my aunt's pear tree. Soon I had thought of an idea. Reaching out of the win' dow, I tied a small pasteboard box on a limb of the tree, and in it I put some crumbs. Two jays later came Hutter- ing to their nest and saw the little box. This idea of mine soon started a quar- rel. I made up my mind to stop it be- cause I started it. I tied another box about the same size to a limb of the tree. One jay stopped chattering and Hew to the box I had put on the tree. Later, after the crumbs were gone, the birds were satisfied and flew away. Helen Osborn, Grade 6
