Before 1 begin to write, 1 try to tormulate some ideas mm my head, but one thought crowds upon another. Before I can get one wea on paper, 1 have forgotten not Just one ot the origingl ideas but all of them. Suddenly a new subject thrusts itself upon my mind; 1 hastily Jot it down so that it will not escapé as easily and as quickly as former in- spirations. . 1 take my pen in hand, Slowly but surely the story begins to take form. Although one impression must be made and kept until the end, 1 find it hard to adhere to one main idea. My mind continually strays to a new topic. At last I complete the rough draught of my story, After the story is written, the task of revising and rewriting follows, This is by no means an casy task as most writers have probably found out. When 1 finish revising and rewrit- ing the story in final form, I send it to a publisher's office. 1 wait in hourly anticipation. Then one day I receive a letter announcing that my story has been accepted and "that it will appear in one of the week- ly editions of my favorite magazine. At last I am in print!

The meeting was then handed over to Grade 1X, who presented a one .act play entitled, "Buddy Answers an Ad." The pro- logue was read by Beatrice Pilkey who also expressed the thanks of Grade IX for the efforts of Miss Shaw who directed the play. The story is about a boy of fifteen who enjoys "showing off" before his friends, He does this by answering the ads for all kinds of. sample products. This practice is very expensive for Buddy's father, ; U Mr. and Mrs. Ray decide that some- how they should cure Buddy of his habit of answering advertisements, This cure is simple but effective.

FRESH BAKING DAILY Pies, Tarts, Buns, Rolls, Cakes, Cookies, and Delicious Brown and White Bread | Saturday Special --Jellied Doughnuts Gerrow Bros., Port Perry reflected glofy, "is their ind It strikes mg that editors of town pa- pers are often more independent than editorial writers on our big city dai- lies." "That may very well be", I agreed. "The editor of a town paper. is usual- ly also its owner and publisher, and so is pretty free to say what he likes. But an editorial writer on a big city daily is bound by the opinions and po- licy of its owner and publisher, Co- umnists of established reputation have more freedom, of course, to ex- press their personal views, but even they have to watch their step some- times. Perhaps you have heard of one or two who "lost their jobs through be- ing too independent and running coun- ter-to-the views of- the proprietor. of a newspaper." "I think I have", was the reply. Well, the upshot' of our conveisa- tion was an arrangement by which I have been putting back the Port Per- ry Star into my mail-box after I have read it; and, when "Postie" sees it there , he knows it is for him, And it will be agreed, 1 think, that he has paid our local paper and its editor a real tribute, -- M., E. 8.
