Big Prizes For The Ba Junior Jet-Setters!

Uncle Peter asks British Airways Junior Jet-Setters to write stories about their holidays, real or imag ined, and is offering some wonderful prizes. Here is what he has to say: Do you sometimes have the feel ing that you could tell a good story (other than the ones you make up especially for Mum!)? Perhaps when you are older, you will write a book or ... on the other hand maybe you are more interested in reporting the way things really are.

Well, here’s a chance to try your self out. I’m not judging your spell ing or grammar (enough of that at school I guess), only how well you make up a story or how well you report an incident, picking out the principal things that interest more people.

Here is an idea to get you going: you could write a story of a family going on holiday in the year 2000 or 1974, or even 1674!

You could talk of the places, peo ple and animals that they meet and see and you should do all you can to read and learn about the different people and use the facts that you have gathered together to build up your story.

What I need to know about you is: your name and address; your age; your junior jet club mileage; and whether the basis of your story is true or imaginary.

Prizes are the same for those who enter for the true story competition as well as for the imaginary story competition. They are; Ist. A Li-lo airbed 72 in. x 29 in.

2nd. A black leather writing case complete with notepaper pad and envelopes 3rd. The Travellers Digest—an interesting guide book cover ing six continents 4th. There are 20 fourth places of a pack of playing cards.

Every entry will be acknowledged.

The closing date for this com petition is September 30, 1974. You should mail your entries either direct to me: Uncle Peter, British Airways, PO Box 1361 Suva, FIJI or to your travel agent who will send it to me.
