them but soon Iound opposition Irom Iino, my dog. .Ks soon as I had gathered a sizable pile, he would leap into it and play so hard that when he Iinished the leaves were sctats tered Iarther than belore. I soon retnecliecl the situation by Iirst raking a pile in which , I Iino could play and then a pile to burn. I met no other dillicultyf. so the day passed rapidly and belore I knew it the leaves which had been in such abundance were trans- Iormed into nothing. Hut my unbearable sadness because the leaves were gone was lilted by the thought ol the many more autumns to come. tlI1'c'lmc'l .IIc'111n'cI. 7 tJI'lzR.XlI ION SNUXVIftJlslil XVhile I would not want to be an Iiskimo and live in an igloo. building a snowlort was lots ol lun. 'I'he six-inch snow which ruined tnany a New Year's celebration was made to order. Last Sunday morning I convinced my sisters that I needed their help to build a snowtnan. Alter we had the bottom and the middle sections in place, the middle one toppled oll. .-X brilliant idea came to me. Hlhy not make the two snowballs even and use them as a base lor a snowlortl It was sooner said than done. All that day we worked, Iilling buckets with snow. dumping the buckets. and packing the snow until we had a rough room with Iour walls, but no rool. 'I'his was neatly secured by appro' priating a neighbors bunk house rool. Now our lort was complete. XVe promptly challenged the neighbor- hood boys to bombarcl tts with snowballs. 'Ilhe light that lollowed was the Iirst ol many. Il' the weather cooperates and we have the proper amottnt ol thawing in thc day and ol' lreefing every night, our Iort may last all winter. II'zn'cl filzory, o .X CIUNII ICN I ICD IDUIL One day last December my mother took our meat lor dinner out ol' the Ireefer to thaw. NVe were going down town to do some Clhristmas shopping and to see the crib in Lytle Park. XVe spent an active alternoon and started home, .X steady snowliall slowed tralliic' and it was late when we got home. XX'e were all looking Iorwarcl to that nice, iuicy steak, but all we Iound were a Iew bones, sotne wrappers. and a sleeping, cone tented dog.

XX'e decided to climb it and realized it lnacle a good hide-out. XX'e then Iollowed the creek bed lor quite a while. XVL' next thought it would be lun to cross it. XX'e had to jump Irom stone to stone. XVe were carelul, and I watched Kevin because he needed help. On the other side we tossed stones and explored while we walked. Bobby Leighton and Alerry were the Iirst to see an unusual pipe bridge which we planned to cross to get back to the other side. It was about twenty Ieet above the creek. Ierry and Hobby crossed the top ol it, but I decided to be sale rather than sorry. and so did Islevin. XtVe went through the bars that held the pipes up and slid on the pipe to the other side. NVe decided to go home lor lunch. I am glad we did because Mother was looking Ior us. XVe told her how mitch lun we had exploring Duck Creek.

It took at least an hour to make it and at least six big snowballs. I asked my lather il I could stay in it overnight. but he wouIdn't let me, I had lun in my igloo and I hope that it will never melt. ilIfr'flrlr'l l,'1t.t.xclcly.

But a ship was coming and someone steered it wrong. and it bumped into the dock. It almost sank. .X man said, It must have had a woman driver.

Some look like dogs and cats. others look like the lace ol a man. On some days the clouds are very white, On other days the clouds are black and gray. XX'hen the clouds are black and gray, they bring rain. titegory llfxozl, 4 NIY I'liI.
