HU 2-9644 Res, HU 29787 Ruth Cutler, Grade 8 student of Clinton Public School, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Cutler, 150 James Street, won the silver dollar essay contest conducted annual- ly by Mrs, J. Douglas Thorndike. Following is the winning story. A LESSON WELL LEARNED Have you ever planned to start out on a new expedition at four in the morning? I can assure you that it takes a bit of courage, especially if you are my age, and it is the first time you have decided to run away. All was quiet in the house. Not a ray of light pierced the eerie blackness of the night sky. It seemed hours since I had been waiting to carry out my fool-proof plans. Outside my window, stood a ladder. At the bottom of the orchard I had carefully concealed my bike, attached to which was a . lunch-box that contained a-- mong other things, a generous wedge cut from a pie'that had been destined for the Women's Institute meeting. Even Rover who had faithfully shadowed me for nearly five years was shut in the henhouse. It was the meanest trick I had ever played on him, but I could not risk him announcing my de- parture or worse still, follow- ing me. I had explained to my folks that I thought there was a weasel in the neighbourhood, and that the dog should guard the poultry. As usual they laughed at me. That was one of the reasons why I was running away. No one, so I thought, gave me any credit for knowing anything. I Would show them I was not "just a kid." Wasn't I six- teen? - - - well at least I was two months and four days past fifteen, and I thought I might pass for eighteen. Finally the hall clock struck four. It was Zero Hour! I must noiselessly descend the ladder, carry it back to the cherry tree where I got it, get my bike, and ride over to Ridge Road before daylight. There I would carefully let the air out of a tire and prepare to wait a couple of hours until the trucks would begin to move in the direction of Sellendale. Surely some kind-hearted truck would give me a lift when I told a plausible story about having •to be in the city by nine o'clock to write a chemistry examina- tion. He would see the text- book that I was carrying. I might even shed a few tears as I would show him the flat tire. I was going to wear the detested hat that I usually hid in the Maison orchard on my way to Sunday School, Anyone would know that I was not just an ordinary hitch-hiker, It was time to push off and I descended the ladder on my way to unexpected complica- tions. When I reached the bottom of the ladder a mighty flash of lightning warned me of an approaching storm. Heavy, black clouds blanketed the sky. Soon the rain began to fall on the earth, pitter pattering like a thousand small running feet. As I stood listening to the rain a light flashed on in my parents' room. I stood by the ladder petrified with fright. Had my parents discovered my disappearance? I sighed with relief as unseen hands closed window against the etoran. Still trembling from fright, I gently picked up the ladder and made my way along the familiar •path to the cherry tree. Despite my great care, the twips snapped and rustled under my feet. Finally the lad- der was placed against the cherry tree and I warily made my way to my bike. The rain fell faster bringing new life to parched plants. With the help of lightning, I made my way through the rain to my hike. I wheeled it down the muddy road I was to take. Finally I was leaving the place of my birth and going off on my own. As I rode along, lights in the distance warned me of an ap- proaching car. I pulled in be- hind a tree, planning to wait until it passed. The wet clothes I was wearing did not offer much protection from the cool night breezes and I began to shiver. I consoled myself with the thought that soon I would be in the' warm cabin of 'a truck heading for Sellendale. Fortune was against me and the car blew a tire just a few feet away. As it stopped ab- ruptly everyone got out. Peter's Modern Meat Market HU 2-9731 (opposite Clinton News-Record) Weekend Specials: For Roasting or Frying CHICKENS—avr. 3 1/2 lbs. 39c lb.

Engeistad stated that some out-lying districts have not yet made returns. A nominating committee of Mrs. W. L. Morlok and Mrs. C. Soon I realized that the trav- ellers were slightly inebriated. After much arguing the two men finally went at the task of changing the tire. It was very comical watching them as they tripped over objects and got in each other's way. With much difficulty they finally finished the job and drove away into the' distance. I often chuckle to myself when I remember the two couples and the flat tire. As I rode off the first rays of dawn streaked the sky. The rain ceased and the clouds be- gan to clear away. After a short ride I reached the Ridge Road and crossed over the smooth pavement to one side. I leaned my bike against a tree and looked around me. My clothes, though still wet, were watieed by the rising sun. The traffic had not yet started and all was silent. As' I bent over to let the air out of my tire the first trucks began to roll by. When I had finished with my tire I turned to the road. Getting a ride is easier said than done, After many unsuc- cessful tries to flag down a truck, the gnawing ache in my stomach reminded me, that it was breakfast time and I was hungry. I opened my lunchbox and took out the piece of pie which was wrapped in waxed paper. As I folded back the cover my heart ached. The pie was a soggy mess, unfit to eat. The rain had leaked into my lunchbox and soaked every- thing. Despondently, I threw the pie away. There was• still the empty space in my stomach and nothing with which to fill it. Thoughts of returning home filled my mind, I regretted ever starting on this ill-fated ex- pedition. I picked up my bike and headed for home. The road I had sped over earlier seemed long and dreary. I wished with all my might I hadn't let the air out of my tire. The bike slowed me down greatly but I didn't dare leave it along the roadside. My steps became slow and painful as I neared home tired, hungry, and the worse for wear. I began to wonder how I was going to get into the house. It was unthinkable to let my fam- ily see me like this. I heard movement in the kitchen and saw Dad working at the barn. I must get past each of them unseen and unheard. I could not use the ladder because my window faced the barn and certainly I would be seen. Sud- denly I thought of the porch. I 'had often climbed upon its roof and entered the house by the window. I stole around the side of the house and looked the porch over. Luckily, no one was a- round. I climbed up onto the roof as quietly as possible. The window was easily opened and I slowly entered the house. Carefully I closed the window and entered my room, I sigh- ed with relief when the clothes I wore were hidden, After changing into decent attire, I descended the stairs to find Mother in the kitchen. busily making my favourite breakfast, waffles. She announced that 'the meal would be ready in a minute. As I sat waiting, my father entered the room. I saw them wink at each other slyly as I 'hungrily ate my breakfast, A week passed and I wonder. ed why something watn't said about my clothes, my warped lunchbog, or the missing pie. Surely they must know about nay expedition on that rainy night, Someday I'll ask them, but not now. Needless to say, I leached my lesson well "It is not wind to ruin away." RUTH CUTLER.
