Round Out Bu Foremost claimant to the title of Oakyille's busiest youngster is probably 10- old Carol Broad- bent who, in addition to being the type of student most teachers dream about, finds time to de- vote to music, dancing, and a list includes doll, of hobbies which stamp, china animal and pressed flower collections, and the mak- ing of shell ornaments, scrap books and doll clothing. For two years junior champion of the Oakville Hobby Show, 'the talented daughter of Mr, and Mus. Colborne George B. Broadbent, St, attends Central Public school, where her studies do not seem to suffer as @ result of her hobbies. Her final papers this year in- cluded three 100's, while all were over 90 marks, Carol known in. town for her her most recent appearances being in the Arts and Crafts production, "Aladdin," and at St. Jude's Sunday school party. She hopes to compete in the follc dance frolic at the C.N. E. this year. "Ill do a Scotch dance," said Carol, who likes her musie and dancing best of all her activities. The Broadbents are worried about Carol's collections, and feel that séon there won't be any room Music, Dancing, Studies, Hobbies, sy Days For Carol in their flat, However, Carol sends her- serap-hooks of danc- ers, Christmas cards and animals to the Sick Children's hospital as soon as they are completed. But there are stil the dolls kept in The P ond's Swimming Teacher BEETLES AND CRICKETS E-- TO PADDLE y Max Trell Chirpie Sparrow came to the ind ill for his bread crumbs. a large suit dolls, old- fashioned dolls, dolls dressed by Carol herself, and a beautiful wool gollywog, and a beautiful place at the hobby show. In spring and summer Carol concentrates on her wild flower collection and spends hours in the woods searching for rare speci- mens. Rainy days and winter evenings pass quickly for the lit- tle girl, who knits or sews her dolls' clothes. Miss classes in ballet dancing, and music lessons with Miss Lawr- ence take up a lot of her time, but Carol manages fit in meetings of the Explorers' club and Brownies. Asked if she also liked sports, Carol replied: "Oh, yes. I'm go- ing to pass my senior swimming and lifeguard tests, then I'm go- ing to be a swimming instruc- tress." In addition to this laud- able ambition, she also hopes to develop her skating. She was in the Skating club carnival last year, and hopes Oakville will have an artificial ice rink soon.

Christianson, Jr. FLOWERS SHOWN ON POSTAGE STAMPS More than one local collector saves stamps which picture flow- ers. Some of these are really beautiful works of art as most are in their natural colours. Most popular, possibly, are the orchids from Columbia. The writer has a series of Alpine flowers on the Swiss Por-Juventute issues for the last five or six years, including lilies, ladies' slippers, narcissus, crocus, cacti, wild roses, cycla- men, and primulis. A Nether- lands set for child welfare shows iris, cornflowers and Christmas roses. In addition to the chrysan- themums on nearly all Japanese stamps you will also find blos- soms of plum, cherry and May sunflower for an issue. Cotton has appeared on Egyptian stamps along with hydnocarpus, the ber- ries of which are used in the cure of leprosy.

This last month Austria has is- sued a set of 10 stamps showing native flowers, all in three colors. The basic designs-are engraved and recess-printed in one colour while the flowers are typographed in two other natural colours. The designs show the violet, wind- flower, crocus, primrose (auricu- la), anemone, rhododendron, do- grose, cyclamen, gentian and Edel- weise. First arrivals of this set have just about sold out in the city at about a half a dollar. If more arrive later there may be a rise in that price. It may be that you will find many other flowers on your stamps which have not been men-. tioned. If so,-drop a lina to this paper telling What ones you've found and on what countries.

Ad- dress them c-o The Hobby Col- umn, The Oakville-Trafalgar Journal, rushing about doing one thing another, and all of a sudden, p,. fore they even noticed it, they, they were, falling off the pay, into the pond. "Most of them can't gin, Chirpie went on; 'so tumbling into the pond wasn't exactly pleasantest thing that could ha, pen to them. In fact, now any then they'd even drown, ang that is about as unpleasant a thing 4 anyone can think of, So a lof of fhe mothers and fathers of fp, young crickets and beetles ang grasshoppers looked around fo, someone to give them swimming and diving lessons. That wasnt as easy as it sounds." "Didn't they think of Mr, Sy right away?" Knarf ag. © 9 "No, they didnt. First tne, spoke to the duck. But she sai she couldnt swim. She couyg only paddle. Then they spoke to a sunfish. But the sunfish said he could only swim under water, and it wasn't much good teaching anyone but a fish how to swim Then they spoke to under water. The. beetle begged Mr, Grump to give swimming lessons a seagull. But the seagull said he could dive fine, but he wasn't 'any good at swimming, Then finally they thought of Mr. Grump because they knew he could swim and he could dive. He seemed like the perfect one. Quick-Tempered "Well," said Chirpie, "Mr Grump is rather quick-tempered and not too good-natured. When they finished asking him if he would teach the youngsters how to swim and dive, he shook his head and answered no." "Why did he do that?" Hanid wanted to know. "He said he was too busy." "Doing what?" "Catching flies. And naturally, they were all very disappointed until suddenly one of the mama- beetles thought of a. wonderful idea. 'Mr. Grump,' she said, 'if youll teach our childdren how to swim and dive, we'd also like you to teach them something else-- something else that you can teach them better than a canary, better than a lark, better than a thrush, We'd like you to teach them sing- ing! Because, Mr. Grump, you've got the most beautiful singing voice of anyone we've ever heard . at night." "And of course," Chirpie said, as he finished his last crumb, "Mr. Grump was as pleased a can be. He said to send the children around at once! So now he's a teacher of swimming, div- ing and singing, He's a good teacher, too--especially of swim- ming and diving." And Chirpie chirped a laugh and flew off.
