Dear Editor, . Andrew Cozart entered a writing contest in which his poem was

chosen to be an entry In the Anthology of Poetry, Inc. The goal 01 this project Is to foster Ihe development of creative expression in young people. Andrew is definitely creative!

Hiccup, Hiccup, annoying you are, Hiccup, Hiccup, Irritating by far, Hiccup, Hiccup, I get a pass. To the iountain Is where I go, Dreading the faucet all covered in mold.

I hod my nose, I take a sip, I gag and cough, the floor I hit .. Soon a crowd gathers round, Laughing faces looking down, I gel to my feet, embarrassed complete, And It all started in a math class seat.

I had nothing to do with this poem except to present the opportunity to enterthe contest. Andrew accepted the challenge and did such a nice job I wanted the public to have the privilege to participate In the enjoyment of this unique passage.

White Space Does Increase Readership Of Ads

SEEDS FROM THE SOWER Michael A. Guido

A boy had trouble at the hands of a classmate. One day, coming home from school, he said to his mother, "Johnny isn't mean to me now. Every time I see him, I hit him to keep him kind."

But real kindness isn't a thing that's forced because of someone on the outSide. It flourishes because of Some Oneon the inside. The Christian has Christ.

His face reflects happiness, not harshness. His eyes radiate affection, not anger. Hi~ expression registers attractiveness, not

aggression. He's kind in though, word and deed. And if

y~'renot kind, you're the wrong kind.
