Hello Margaret and ali the other

We had lots of snow last week but

My father cut Arvo Jr.'s hair. He

Onerva Tells of
Her Finland Trip
Dear sister Margaret.
Mom just reminded me that I had
better write to you. sister Margaret.
We went for a hoUday to Finland.
We left herne on the 21st cf August
and came back on the 14th of Nov-ember.
Arvo stayed home and looked
after our house and kept things m
order. I suppose we ifouldnt have
3one if he had not be=n here.
It sure was a long trip, over two
vesks. It took eight days*to go across
he Atlantic. We sailed from New
rork to Göteborg. Sweden. •We sail-d
on the M . S. Stockholm. It is
luite a small ship but a verj' nice
)ne.
I was Weil going but seasick cn the
:rip coming back. Mom and dad were
oth fine. I was surprised at dad
or he had such an appetite and I
•jould hardly eat a thing!
I was glad to see my relatives over
there. Now I will know who they are
when they write. Things are sure
different over there. I liked the
steambath. We had one every Satur-day
night. Everyone speaks Finnish
so I was lucky to be able to speak
and understand the language. It was
nice to see mom's and dad's home.
There was a nice new chiu-ch and
theatre tl;iere. I went to church twice
It was lovely inside. They say it is
very pretty at night. I also went to
the Ehow three times.
The Finnish money seemed very
strange ä t first, everything seemed so
ccstly but whsn I got to know it, it
wasn't SD complicated.
Nearly everj-one had a bicycle. Very
few people had cars or trucks. The
men use horses to go to work with.
I learned to ride a bike. I never rode
a bike before. It took me three days
to really learn.
I had fun separating milk. Some-times
I helped my aunt with the work.
She had four children, ali young
ones.
I taught one lady to speak English
I often went to her place and talked
with her. I .wasn't used to ali the
crying and noise that was made at
uncles. We stayed at my uncle's place.
I had fun over there though I
thought I wouldn't.
When we got home I started school
again and got caught up with my
work. I was glad to manage as
Weil as I did but now I shall see how
my exams turn Qut. It won't, be so
easy.
Weil, I ' l l end now for it is getting
late. Good-byel

Dear big sister Margaret.
It is time to write again.
How is everybody feeling these cold
Winter days? I'm not feeling so well
because I have a bad cold.
I went; to a show last Tuesday. It
was called "I Was a Male War Bride"
and it starred Gary Grant and Ann
Sheridan. It was the best show I've
ever seen. It was really funny!
It has been very cold out so I"ve
stayed i n the hcuse nearly ali day.
The Finnish people had a meeting
at our place today so I Ustened to
them since I had nothlng else to do.
My brother has bsen skating and
I have been skiing lately. I've really
enjoyed skiing because the weather
has been so nice.
I went to see my brother who is
skidding logs i n the bush. One hill
is nearly bare because there are no
tree left on it. We had to cut them
ali down because cf the power-line
that is being put through. I feel
sorry for ali those trees that have
to be chopped douTi.
Do j'ou root for any team in the
National Hockey League, sister Mar-giaret?
I root for Chicago Black
Hawks, my sister Violet for Toronto
Maple Leafs, sister May for Boston
Bruins and brother Reino for the
Montreal Canadiens.
I got ä new Winter coat, a new
drcss and a pair of stpcking's from
Simpsons. My coat was a bit long
but my mother shortened it.
I Ijust finished playing bingo with
my brothers and sisters. I wcn qulte
a few games. Good pastime.
I think 5'11 close now. I'm sorry
I didn't write in Finnish but my
Sisters are and they took ali my
good news away. Cheerio!

Dear .sister Margaret.
. I think it is about time for me to
write to your page.' Xmas wlll soon

•'Kaivostyömies". My mom and dad
were in it. I took part in the pro-gramme
with another girl. She play-ed
her guitar and I played my man-dolin
and we both sang. After the
'play there was a dance and we
danced the rest of the night and
had a ver>' good time.
I was at the show last night and
it showed the openlng of the Sicamous
bridge. I saw many people that I
know in the picture. I even saw
myself. It .sure v.'as fun to watch.
Thafs ali for now. Cheerio!

Hyvää päivää iso sisko Margaret ja
kaikki tämän osaston lukijat.
Ajattelin taas kirjoittaa jonkun
rivin t ä h ä n osastoon. Minä olen ollut
pois koulusta kaksi viikkoa kun mi­nussa
on ollut n i i n paha yskä. Tänä
syksynä onkin paljon ihmisiä yskäs­sä."
Täällä on jo n i i n paljon limta, että
pian saa mennä laskemaan mäkeä
kelkalla.
Joulu on nyt n i in lähellä, e t t ä muis­takaa
siskot ja veljet olla kilttiä, että
joulupukki toisi teille paljon lahjoja.
Kyllä kai minä menen vielä yhdek.

kansakoulun. '
Minun kovin aineeni koulussa on

Heipä hei siskot ja veljet!
Ajatelkaa, ei ole enää kuin 17 päi­vää
jouluun. Eikö ala jo olla j ä n n i t.
tävää miettiä mitä joulupukki tänä
vuonna tuo? Ei kannata olla totte­lematon
nyt ;se on liian suuri "riski",
.sillä .saatte olla varmoja, että joulu­pukki
pitää mustassa kirjassaan huo­lellista
kirjanpitoa kaikista lapsista,
ovatko he kilttiä tai el.
Joulusta puhuen voin mainita, että
Vapauden joulunumeroon on tänä
vuonna laadittu kokonainen sivu tei­tä
varten. Siinä on hauskoja joulu­kertomuksia,
runoja ja kuvia, joista
varmasti nautitte.
Lukekaa Onen-an kirje tarkkaan
sillä liän kertoo Suomimatkastaan.
Tervetuloa takaisin!

Syntymäpäiväni on tammikuun

mistä tiiesit että se on tammikuussa?
Meillä on kolme uutta jäsentäkin
tervehdittävänä tällä viikolla. He
ovat Eleanor Luoma ja Wilbert Ala­nen,

lasketelko kaduilla, jassa autot kul­kevat.
Siis hyvästi nyt!

How is everybody feeling today?
Coldi I hope. I'm just freezing. The
weather down here is really cold, put
out some. water and it doesn't take
very long to freeze.
The gasollne used for cars lsn't very
good these days. There must be water
in it because it freezes. The gaso­llne
In cur car froze In.the gas Iines.
It took us half a day to get the Ice
melted out of the tubes. The cup
on the fuel pump was a complete, so-lld
chunk of Ice. We poured hot water
into It to melt the ice.
We've had two tests already at
school, hlstcry and geography. In
hlstory I got 80 and In ge<«raphy 77.
On Frlday I went to the Hhpw and
saw "Hellfire' 'and "Rose of the Y u -

I guess I will send that pen to the
