STUDENT NAMED FINALIST FOR NATIONAL BOOK

Sarah Meadows, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Meadows, formerly of Troutville, is one of five finalists in the 1993 National "Written and Illustrated By" awards contest for students.

The Bedford Middle School seventh grader was one of 250,000 students from the United States and Canada who wrote and illustrated their own books.

Hers was titled "The Tale of Tillie Tutwiler." It is about a pocket mouse who lives in a broken teapot in the garden of a decaying mansion, "Faded Glory." The mouse, Tillie Tutwiler, shares stories of the abandoned plantation house with her friends at tea parties.

The contest is sponsored by Landmark Editions Publishing Co.
