Her story, in the opinion of the judges, "expressed the children's exciten.ent for Christmas along with a fine yuletide spirit." Second prize goes to Karen Finkbeiner, S.S. S Stephen, who would like to take everyone back to the original nativity scene. Winner of the third prize is Penny Fallis, 3, A. D. McCurdy school, RCAF Station Centralia, who thinks people should realize it's thethought, not the price, that really counts in Christmas giving, There were many others, said the judges, who deserved prizes —children who wished for world peace, for the end of commu- nism, for the control of cancer, and many other unselfish de- sires, That the judges• found it diffi- cult to pick the winners was shown by the fact that none chose the same essays. Com- promises had to be made to se- lect the final choices. • • • Only about one-quarter of the essays appear below because of lack ,of space and thus. They de not appear in order of merit,' following the winners, nor are these necessarily better than others submitted. To avoid reps- titon, some essays which dupli- cated ideas _ were sacrificed for those with: different themes.' There are some wonderful wishes expressed here, by young children and some might make readers wonder if the world would be better off governed by. children, not by adults. It's food for thought. • She'd Entertain By HELEN COLE Age 11, Exeter PS. wish I ,were a winner of a contest Who could get anything I wanted. would buy pounds and pounds f candy, 'tike, soft drinks, and toys for boys and girls. I would get a big Christmas tree and put lights on it. I'd wrap every gift and put it under the tree. Then I • would invite all the children .from orphanages 'who haven't a Christmas like you or me. We'd have ice cream and cake, and then they would open their gifts. 0 what a happy sightsall the children just bubbling over with joy! Visit. Bethlehem BY KAREN F1NKBEINER Age 11, S.S. 5, Stephen MyChristmas wish is that We may, in spiat, go, like the Wise Men and shepherds following the large bright star, to Bethlehem to the stable where Christ was born. When we reach the baby in the manger we will kneel down and praise God for sending this Child and for letting us be the first to see this great King who yill be our spiritual leader.. After we give him Our gifts we will spread the glad news to everyme. We will then return home re- joicing and praising Godfor all we had seen .and ;done. It's, The Thought By PENNY FALL1S MeCurdy Scheel If my wish came true Christ. tuts would be a wonderful time. Parents wouldn't be wishing that Christmas was over and wonder - jug if the presents would eVer be paid for, Childec.1 ,Wouldn't Spend their time loOking for things to ask poor old Santa to buy for them, :Everyone would be buying gifts knowing that is the thought and not the price that really counts. Perhaps you have guessed that My wish IS for the true Christ - Mas spirit. If everyone had it, Chtietthas would then be a really happy time. Seeks Knowledge Ey .1611N kOOPMANS Age If, LLS Usberne Whatt wish for Christmas is hook shelf with many ihterest- lag books in it. One section of boas would be all the hooks in the teeyele= Pah! se I would have more knowledge, • I I would like science books, to •learn about planets, rockets; sputniks and nature. 'Another section would be or- dinary reading books such as mystery books, comical books, and pleasure reading: • ! My last section would he about hundreds of things a boy can make and do such as, toy cars, motors, bird houses, and sports. and naipf bypyC.hrist7as wish came true, it would make me clever In New York 'By ELAINE POWE Age 10, S.E. 1 Stephen As I sat beside the Christrnas tree, watching the' lights blink off and on, I began to feel drowsy. I thought of my Christ- mas wish. It would be going to New York, and 'seeing all its magnificent lights and wonders. The Christ - Mas parade would contain many wonderful things. Windows would hays gay decorations of merry Santa Claus with his reindeer. Also, I must not forget the color- ful stained glass manger and nativity scenes. • Suddenly, the whole family came rushing in. The dream was over, but still remained in my mind', as Wonderful'as it had been 'at' first sight. • . , . • Christ As Baby' By BILLY BEAVERS '• Age. 10, Exeter PS My Christmas' wish is that other people and myself could go 'back to the time of Christ and- see Him as a baby, when the wise men 'anti shepherds came 'to the stable. where He was born, and see the star which led the wise men to Him. I would _like to see Him in later years when He chose the disciples, when Jesus walked on the water to His disciples in the fishing boat, when Peter walked on • the water and lost faith in Jesus and began -• to sink, and many 'other feats which Jesus performed. ' A Free World By ELYSE LAMPORT Age '11, S.E. S Stephen If I were granted any Christ - rims wish I wanted it would be that all countries be free from Communism. Communism reigns over a third of 'the world but it is slowly diminishing. Commun- ism is fighting hard but it is winning. Many people share my wish for there is no singing or cele- brating Cheistmas' in the Com- munist countries,of Hungary, Poland, Czechslovkia and Aus- tria, Like me, many people of those countries would like to Lee the Communists' downfall. We hope never to see • it rise again in any country of the world. , glifitAtiNFACCMCOM ' • 'W.,;.0•Wc• s4444; Glad greetings and best wishes for a season tilled with all the t Joys of Christmas, JACK SMITH JEWELLER Phone S10 Oxeler filCOCCOONOWOM T -A Essay Contest isr. Defeat Disease BY SUZANNE RANNIE Age 11, Hensall I wish that someone would find a cure for cancer and many other deadly diseases. Many people have been cured from, of these diseases, such 'as diabetes, cured by in- sulin. Although many lives have been cured from these remedies, many more would be cured if a discovery for cancer was found. Scientists work clay and night for remedies. A doctor, like any one else, would cry with glee if one person was cured with some miracle that he had discovered, • Gifts For Others BY KAREN meywooD Age 10, Exeter P.S. My Christmas wish is that the poor people all over the world get gifts for Christmas. I would like a camera very much, but I would rather tell mother to take th money that it costs to get a camera, and buy gifts for as many of the poor people as she can with the money. I hope she will be able to buy quite a lot of gifts.
