eyes,

a large plantation. Near Augustine's home was one of the best schools in the colony which George attended. George was above every boy in jumping and swimming but above all he spent most of his time in his brother's library where he read much about ships.

Some years later Governor Din­widdle made him a district adjutant

The children cleaned the sidewalk off, And made a pile of snow;

Then Tuckie thought he'd fix a house, And be an Eskimo.

For he was taught never to teU lies;

And all the people respected him. With reverence in their eyes.

Inough books were scarce, he loved to read.

By the firelight, though scanty a light, he could see;

And never did he dream that some memorable day.

The President of the United States he would be.

Though men have risen to glory and fame.

Well always remember the name Of Abraham Lincoln, so staunch and

tall. Who bravely fought for our liberty

all!

Thank you, Louise. For this splen­did bit of originality you will receive the special Lincoln contest prize this week. Send more of your verses for the verse writers' column.

Honorable Mention Only one prize was promised in

the Lincoln contest, but I received so many contest contributions and all of them were so interesting. I decided to award an honorable men­tion gift. too. This will go to Helen Dmitrzak of Buffalo who sent this brief biography of the life of Lin­coln:

"Abraham Lincoln, our great war President, and one of the noblest figures in United States history, was born in Hardin County, Kentucky, on February 12, 1809. His family Shoved to Illinois and there Lincoln began the practice of law. after a b: -rer struggle with poverty and lack of school education.

"One time when he was a clerk in a •tore a woman gave him six cents more than she should have paid for an article that she purchased. He discovered the mistake after she had gone. After he closed the store tha t evening he walked five or six miles to her home to correct the error. For this and other similar deeds, he re­ceived the title. Honest Abe. He was elected President in 1860 by the Re­publican party, the party tha t was opposed to slavery, so. eleven slave

•holding states withdrew from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America. The severe Civil War followed, lasting four years. During this most trying period of our history, Lincoln guided the na­tion with marvelous skill and wis­dom. He freed the slaves and at the close of the war had taken steps to­ward bringing the seceded states back into the Union.

"The pistol of an assassin cut short Abraham Lincoln's life—a life •ery valuable to his country and his time. He was shot in Ford's Thea­ter. Washington, in April, 1885 by John Wilkes 3ooth. He was cornered tn a barn and shot.'*

I want to thank you, too. Helen, lor y o u r splendid contribution. Watch youi* mailbox for the honor­able mention gift this week.

Lovinglv. AUNT BETSY.

gerous mountains. He was success- | g ^ y F l e s ful in delivering the message and | isidor Ftutak brought with him a fuU report of the French activities. I t lasted for ten weeks. A couple of times he nearly lost his life and on one occa­sion he was shot and was thrown off the raft.

A few months later Washington was ordered to proceed immediately with 150 men to a fort. Before Washington's small force reached the fort the French had taken it and named it Fort Duquesne.

On January 15. 1775, when George was 23 years old was elected com­mander-in-chief of all the Virginia forces.

On Christmas night Washington crossed the Delaware and captured 1,000 Hessens at Trenton.

Washington's quarters were at Valley Forge. Washington's army was in distress, with the men. half-naked and starved. If it hadn' t been for the patriotic Washington they would have left the army.

In 1781 with a French army and a French fleet to co-operate Wash­ington invested Cornwallis in the peninsula at Yorktown and forced him to surrender and so this ended the Revolutionary War.

The inauguration of Washington was planned for the first Wednes­day in March, 1791, but because of the slow means of travel lt wasn't held 'till April 30th. Washington had a long way to come to the capital. When he got there he took the oath of office in New York.

Washington died a natural death December 14, 1799.

Tropical Fish FamUy

TROPICAL fish are interesting pets, for they have very odd

habits, such as eating their babies. Bernadine Peet of Buffalo tells how she protects the babies in her fam­ily of 140.

"I own 140 tropical fish. They are the size of minnows. They are the only live-bearing fish that eat their babies as soon as they are born. I keep lots of seaweed in the aquarium so the babies can hide until they are two weeks old. The large fish think the babies are bugs. They are loads of fun to care for and watch. Next time I'll tell you about my dog, Buster."

Pair of Pigeons Jollies! Meet Jack and Jill, two

poucher pigeons. Their proud owner is nine-year-old Beryl Ehlers of Williamsville, N. Y. She has unother pigeon, too. That makes a whole pigeon family, doesn't it? And that isn't all. There's a turtle in Beryl's pet family as well. Reaflr about ail of them:

"I have a pair of pigeons. One is all white and the other one is blue and white. These pigeons are pouchers. The name of the female is Jill and the name of the male is Jack. I also have a pigeon whose name is Calou. I have a turtle, too. His name is Peter."

GEORGE WASHINGTON Boys and girls the nation over

will honor the memory of George Washington this week for it was 206 years ago the 22d of this month that he was born. The father of our country died many years ago, but his memory still lives and to that memory Marjorie Ostrander of South Wales, N. Y., pays tribute in this original rhyme: George Washington was born at Mt.

Vernon, In the year 1732;

Washington was very wealthy, And yet brave and true.

When Washington cut down the cherry tree,

He could not tell a He; So when his father asked who did it,

He said, "father it was I."

In the year 1789, To Philadelphia he was sent;

And then with much studying. He became our first President.

EXTRA! EXTRA! The J o l l y Junior-Sunbeam boosters are

keeping their promise to do bigger and better boosting during 1938. This week's membership bulletin brings us big news! We passed another milestone in ops? race to reach the 215,000 mark^last week. The 320 new members, wmftwere en­rolled with the help of the fourteen boosters, sent our membership past the 211.000 mark with 271 members over.

Congratulations go to all who did their bit to enroll friends and playmates last week. Now we have only 3,729 more to go. Can we make It? That's the big question with only three weeks left until our six­teenth birthday anniversary. We sure do hope someone has a surprise stored up to put us over the top. But we wouldn't need a surprise if every Jolly Junior-Sunbeam sent just one new member. Just think what that would *mean! Why. in­stead of enrolling 3.729 more, we'd double our membership. The Hall of Fame Jollies doubled their record, why can't we do the same on the membership?

Prizes for enrolling 25 or more new members go to Glenda Latten, Betty Miller and Mary Ellen Mc-Guire this week. They are named together with the others who did their bit to send our membership higher last week: Glenda Latten, Belmont 52 Marv Ellen McGulre. Buffalo 25 Betty Miller. Buffalo 25 Rita Michels.

WASHINGTON Another young admirer of our first

President is Marie Kitch of Flush­ing, Mich. Here's her birthday anni­versary to the memory of George Washington:

Washington was the first President. He was one of the first early resi­

dents. Washington was strong and true, And he loved the old red, white and

blue.

Washington crossed the Delaware, But of his danger he was aware; Washington's men were few, But they were strong and true.

FEBRUARY Nancy Scanzano of Cheektowaga,

N. y„ likes February. Why? She answers that question in rhyme:

Blustry north wind whistles shrill, Over the field and up the hill; A flurry of snowflakes wet and soft, A challenge from storm gods hurled

from aloft.

Ho! to the north wind's blustery bluff;

Put your nose in your collar, hands in your muff.

Good coasting weather; ice, too, is glory!

Come what may, I like February!

SNOW Snow provides many things. First

a covering for spring flowers, but most important to Jollibeams right now, it has provided a lot of fun in the form of tobogganning and ski­ing. Margaret Ellett of Midlothian, Va., tells briefly how she enjoys one of these $ports:

The ground is covered with snow, But what made it so? The snow fell night after night. And the ground became very white.

Little flakes and big flakes, Has covered the lakes; Like pieces of ice, Which is not very nice.

I get out my sled, Which is painted red; I roll down the hill, With my brother, Bill.

You should have heard the children laugh, And fill the air with squealing;

As Tuckie stood there, helpless, with His head out through the ceiling.

My birthday was February 5th and I was disappointed not to see my name in the birthday column in the Sunday paper.

Uncle Bill, would you put my name in the pen pal list for me? I would like to have a lot qf pen pals. I will answer all letters and will try to send in a sketch the next time I write.

Well, I will send all my love to both Aunt Betsy and yourself.

Your nephey, JAMIE ROBERTS,

Thanks ever so much for printing my recipe. I hope the Jollies en­joyed it. To my great joy, today I received a check from a New Or­leans, La., paper as prize for a book review. It Is very encouraging and comes in handy.

I am going to visit Bobby Suther­land soon. I enjoy my visits be­cause Bobby and his mother are so nice and because I see so many in­teresting things. Don't you agree with me? Bye now.

aahington Pie Aunt Bftsy wishes all her Jolly-

Sunbeam cooks a happy celebration on George Washington's birthday anniversary. Are you planning to have a party? Make it a success with Washington Pie, suggests Loren Sehieber of Bufaflo. If you're not having a party, you can cele­brate at dinner on Tuesday with Washington Pie for dessert. Here's the recipe:

Bake part of a three-egg sponge cake in a deep layer tin. Split cake when warm with a hot knife. and fill with a cooked cream made as follows:

One tablespoon of cornstarch, one tablespoon of butter, one-fourth cup of sugar, VA cups of milk, one egg, one teaspoon of vanilla.

Rub corastarch smooth in butter. Add both to milk and stir until well thickened. Cook in double boiler or over small fire. Add beaten egg or better still, two yolks, salt and vanilla. Cook a bit after egg has been added. Strain while hot if it is lumpy. Partly cool and fill cake which is best after it has stood for half a day. You may sift powdered sugar on top.

Jolly should do. I hope more of my nieces and nephews follow your ex­ample in sending five or more new members. Looking at the calendar I find that February 5th was a Saturday, so your name would not appear on Sunday. A birthday list appears in The Courier-Express every morning. I'll add your name to the twin pen pal list next week, so be watching your mailbox.

UNCLE BILL.

Greetings again! Gosh, how time flies! Here we are nearing another club birthday again. I'm enclosing the names <of a few new members this week. Next week I shall send

'The Cherry Tree Prize Story

By SHIRLEE LINDELL Fifteen years old, Jamestown, N. Y.

THE father of our country started out early in life by telling the

truth. Here is one experience he had.

I t seems that George had repeiv-ed a bright, new hatchet from his father. He was wandering around the garden until he stopped urtder-neath his father's favorite cherry tree. A thought came into his head. "Oh, what a nice place to try my new hatchet!"

Soon the neat little hatchet had the fine cherry tree down. George spied another tree and went to bus­iness.

Later George's father beheld, to his horror, that his fine cherry tree was no longer. Immediately he -sent for« George. With determination, he asked of the boy, as he stood] be­fore him, "Did you cut my chjerry tree down?"

so. Good for you! I'm glad your work is winning prizes in other clubs, too. Even though we have never had the pleasure, we are sure that visiting Bobby is most interesting after what he has written about his collections and gifts.

UNCLE BILL.

In Orchestra Dear Uncle Bill:

Just a few lines to let you know I'm thinking of you both. I have been taking drum lessons at school and have just been put in the or­chestra. I t sure is fun. It 's kind of hard at first, but I guess I'll get used to it.

Before I forget I want to tell you I have moved. I expect to send some new members in my next letter A loval member,

Dear Alfred—Good for you! Play­ing in your school orchestra is a good start. If you work hard, you'll

doubled la,*t year's January roster. During the first month of 1»37

only 31 boys and girls earned a place on the Hall of Fame roster, but for last month 80 names appear on our 1938 list. That 's more than doubling loyalty over last year, isn't it. To say Aunt Betsy and I are pleased would be putting it mildly. We're delighted and we're hoping this splendid effort to make the J. J. S. C. bigger and better will con­tinue all through 1938.

Remember, Jollibeams, there's a prize at the end of the year for everyone who makes the Hall of Tame every month in the year. And just to insure your getting credit for every contribution, mark each let­ter, contribution or list of new members you send, Hall of Fame, With the hundreds and thousands of letters I receive, this method of marking your letters and contribu­tions will make it a lot easier to pick out my star writers, and also avoid leaving anyone's name off the list.

And now, before I tell you lust who makes up that long roster of 80 names, let me explain for the ben­efit of those who do not understand how to work for Hall of Fame hon­ors, that to gain a place in the Hall of Fame a Jolllbeam must send a letter, a contribution or some new members every week for four con­secutive weeks during the month. Here are the names of those who did just that during the first month of 1938:
