that number on her strip gets the article. She cannot win on that number again but of course she can buy more than one strip. Another method is a Dutch auction. In this case there is one larger article. Tickets are sold at five or ten cents, whatever has been agreed on. Each person bids always in mul- tiples of five or ten. One person might bid‘ five cents, ten. fifteen. twenty and so on each time paying only a nickel or a dime and keep- ing track of the number. A ticket has been placed on the parcel and the one who happens to bid that particular number wins the article for his or her five or ten cents. It is noisy but fun. We like a silent auction where small do- nated articles are placed on a table. Paper and pencils are available. You write your name and your bid on a piece of paper and place it under the article, Then two people check the bids and declare the highest bidder who picks it up with her bid, takes it to the secretary and pays for it. It is quiet and you pay just what you think it is worth to you. Another Child Sponsoring Experience By Mrs. Floyd Gray UR FOSTER CHILD, Rachelle David, 0 who lives in Athens.

Also, the daughter of one of our members visited the David family while she was teaching in Europe so we feel we know her quite well.

Here is cold now and at home is very bad because there is no heating. That is why I stay in bed to study; is better there. “Thank you very much for your last letter and for the birthday money. I did not decide yet what I am going to buy because I need so many things. Maybe a pair of shoes or a warm dress. Thank you anyhow again. God bless you! “I am very interested in starting English lessons so that within some months I‘ll be able to write to you directly in English.
