Jaffray (Age 10) (Epitor’s Note: No essay was re- quired for the Alibi Contest, but just try and stop this boy from writing one.)

But then what? Should I spend it on ies, or movie shows? A field- er’s mitt? A trip to Europe? A flying-machine? While I was still undecided, the next mail brought me an avalanche of letters. Some were appeals for money}; some were solicitations from various charitable organizations; some were letters of advice as to how I should spend the sum; and one letter was from—need I say it?— the dearest little girl in the world. After answering a few of the re- quests for autographed photos and testimonials praising various kinds of cigarettes and face-cream, I returned to my original speculation. Here 1 was, with the power to do good to some worthy charity, to make others share my happiness. It was indeed a momentous decision. At last, how- ever, I had made up my mind. With the $10 which my good for- tune has brought me, I intend to go to Hollywood and sce some of the real screen stars face to face, on a personally conducted tour of the big- gest studios, You, too, can win big money solv- ing Alibi Contests!
