Each winner received three silver dollars and these were presented by Secretary Mrs. Pat McClennan, of the IDard. The contest, which attracted fimost forty entries. was judged by Miss Ronwen Stock of To- ronto. retired librarian and a superb and well-known teller of children's stories. Miss Stock \ias extremely impressed with the standard of the entries and her task of choosing the win- ners was quite difficult. The contest was divided into four age groups and a prize was offered for the best poem and the best story in each group. In the 7 to 8 year old group Elisel Rpscente. aged 7. of 67 Royal Qrchard Boulevard took first“ prize for the best poem and for the best story. Elise's poem was called “The Snow" and her story was entitled “The Teddy Bear's Wish".

Dear Sir: I “For the third time this week [have scraped and washed wet tar from my children's feet and clothes. What. for goodness sake. are we Vaughan Township rgsidents paying taxes for?

They certainly wouldn‘t have the Lprize for the best poem went to Heather McKenzie, aged 9. of 57 Clarkehaven Street for her poem entitled “Blackbeard's Treasure Chest" and Janet Belch aged 10 of 18 Thornbank Road. was awarded first prize for her excellent story “The Hidden Stowaway".

In the group for 11 to 12 year aids the prize for the best poem went to Carol Shorey aged 12 of 75 Royal Orchard Boule- vard for “The Icy Winter Place”, and Cathy Matyas aged 12 of 68 Roosevelt Drive won for her story “St. Michael's Bridge".

And covers things for miles around. The children all come out to play They‘ll have lots of fun today! Snowmen. snowballs and 'snowforts they make, Maybe even a snowflake cake! Soon they are covered from head to toe. With the white and fluffy snow. Mother calls them in from play, But they’ll come out another day! ak * a: BLACKBEARD TREASURE By Heather McKenzie aged 9 Blackbeard was a pirate He sailed the ocean blue. He was a very greedy man And did not like his crew. Blackbeard was a pirate He found a buried treasure. Thorniea People Request School “Another winter in portable classrooms is the maximum our residents could live with. Your attention to our concern is warranted." writes the Thornlea Community Associa- And when his good crew saw it He shot them all for pleasure. The treasure chest was beautiful. And so were the jewels inside. And when he. saw them shining there His eyes did open wide. Blackbeard buried the treasure On an island far away. He did it very well For it is still a secret today. - * a< .. THE ICY WINTER By Carol Shorey aged 12 Hear the thundering of the horses hooves, The tinkling of the bells, And the tintinnabulation.

Feel] the redâ€"hot. wrapped-up brick. ‘Just beneath our tingling feet, And the warm and bundled blankets Pillowing the wooden seat. See the silv’ry glow upon the snow The moon’s enchanting face, As the snowflakes fall and touch the ground The icy. winter place. a: s * A BOOK By Lynn Gollop aged 14 A book can be read page by page Or by paragraphs one and two.
