When Thursday arrived I piayed ali morning wih my playmates, but kept my eye on the time. Accord- ingly at about 11.45 all the children on the street, grown folks, too, congregated near the box, and it seemed as though we could barely wait till 12 o'clock. So at five minutes to 12 a red car appeared at the brow of Division street hill. Then we ali quickly recognzed Deputy Chief Taft's car and we all shouted.

Dear Uncle Jed: The most interesting experience of my vacation was spending the night on White Face. We’all got up early to see the sun rise and it was such a wonderful experience that I, for one, shall never forget it. Fortunately, we had a fine day for our trip, and with our, knapsacks containinz food and a blanket aplece strappd on our backs, we started out. When we reached the top of the mountain we found a sheitered place, bullt- a great fire, and- cooked our suv- per. It was a long hard ciimb, especially the lost stretch, for the top of the moun- tain -ie bare rock and is very steep and slippery. .1 woke many times during the night. It was so cold and there were such strange sounds in the dark forest all_about us. We sat around the crackling fire and told stories for a long time before we rolled ourselves In our blankets to go to sleep. LTIANNA GAUDREAU, Age 12. - Danlelsan.
