It could be all yours if yours is the only correct solution submitted. Mrs. Mary Clonts, of Rou te 2 Murphy, came within two letters o { a perfect solution, and laying claim to last weeks 960 prize. Mrs. Clonts chose "LADY" instead of "LAZY" and "WI ELD" Instead erf "YIELD" for her only two errors. A R N H JW N M U The explanation to last we eks puzzle appears belcw. ACROSS L. It's apt to alarm a young man when a girl makes it clear she intends to SHARE his future (Shape). -The restraint of apt is better with SHARE, which implies she intends to marry him. He might be flattered or pleased. Shape is less to the point; for one thing, it's not at all easy, despite a person's intentions, to Shape somebody's future. 5. It often makes a pupil LAG when he hasn't much interest in the subject (Lax). - LAG, to fall behind, makes a better answer. His lack of interest indicates that he is unlikely to ?absorb the subject. Often exaggerates with Lax, careless. 6. A good servant is seldom CHEAP (Cheat). - Cheat is open to question. There is no suggestion that it is the employer who is cheated; the servant might cheat someone else. That a good servant is seldom CHEAP is more likely. He can command top salary. 8. Naturally, you're more likely to come across a WELL in a rural area (Dell). - You might come across a Dell, a small wooded valley, in a place that is completely uninhabited. The WELL is an indication of an inhabited area. 10. A woman who seems to be LAZY is often much less so when she finds another woman after her man I (Lady) - Often much points to LAZY. She's more likely to become active In the matter than to lose her dignity as a Lady, as often much would imply. 13. People not used to living in a HOVEL are seldom at ease when they have to do so (Hotel). - Seldom goes rather far with Hotel; there's no implication that the hotel is a particularly good or expensive one. Seldom fits better with HOVEL, a miserable dwelling. 14. A strong desire to be a social success often makes a man SHORT (Sport). - SHORT, in the sense of short of cash fits well here. Such an ambition can be very expensive. Sport is open to question; his taking up games might not further his ambition, and he can scarcely aquireSportsmanliks qualities at wilL 16. It's usually very irritating when we have to yeild to a stupid FAD (Lad). - Usually and very exaggerate with Lad; he might be very dear to us. FAD, craze, is better; in this case, the personal element is not so pronounced. DOWN L. SLIM people are often surprisingly hardy (Slum) . Because of conditions in slums, it's not really surprising that Slum people are hardy; they have to be to survive. We're less likely to associate hardiness with people who are of SLIM build; that such people are often hardy is a matter of fact. 2. A man of a scholarly and studious turn of mind is seldom HANDY as well (Hardy). - Such a man uses his brain much more than his hands, so that HANDY is not unreasonable. His intellect doesn't necessarily make him less Hardy. 3. An applicant for a job who looks NEEDY is often at a disadvantage (Seedy) . - Seedy means shabby; such an applicant is more frequently than often at a disadvantage. His looking NEEDY isn't quite such a handicap. 4. You can sometimes tell from strange handwriting that the writer isn't MALE (Hale). - The clue does not say you can tell whether the writer is MALE or Hale; it says you can tell that the writer is not MALE or Hale. If the writer is not Hale you can tell more frequently than sometimes because of the shaky writing. It's more difficult tO decide that die writer is a woman. 7. People who are unduly MILD seldom make good parents (Wild). - People who are unduly Wild virtually never make good parents. Exceptions are more likely when they are unduly MILD, though undue mildness can be harmful to growing children. 9. To be reformed a criminal must be CAUGHT, as a rule (Taught). - It's always necessary for a criminal to be Taught if he is to be reformed. The fact that he's reformed shows he has learned his lesson. Since he need not always be CAUGHT to learn his lesson, as a rule is justified. 1L It takes more character to YIELD authority than most of ua realize (Wield). -Most of us do realize the character needed to Wield authority; the words more than most of us realize apply better with YIELD; probably most of us do not appreciate what the handing over of power can mean to a person si^erseded. 12. The more your boss ROWS you the less efficient yoi. probably are at your job (Cows).- ROWS, yes , because he finds fault with you. When he Cows, frightens you , it does not necessarily reflect on your work. Survey Shows Cherokee, Clay 87% Forestland Cherokee and Clay counties ?re 87 per cent forest, acc ording to ? TV A forest In ventory report just released. Surveyed as a unit In TVA's continuing inventory of Tenn essee Valley forests, the two counties have 381,900 acres of commercial forest and sawtlmber volumes In excess of one billion board feet. Thomas L. Pitts, TV A for estry representative at Ashe ville, said forest Industries are now harvesting and using only about half of the annual wood growth and can there fore expand. Present Indust ries, he said, employ about 400 people and have payrolls totaling $733/100 a year. If the available wood fully uti lised, forest Industries could provide at least 300 new Jobs. About Ml ,800 acres of the commercial forest Is In the Nantahala Nation Forest. The Cherokee Indiana reser vation accounts for 6,800 acres and TV A acknlnlstars 1,800 acres. The Andrews and Murphy municipal water sheds together total 1,800 acres. Private industrial holdings sdd up to 10,500 icres and the remaining 221,100 acres Is In smaller private ownerships, most of them un der a thousand acres. Pins said the 1,062,000,000 board feet of merchantable sawtlmber in the two count ies is over 73 per cent hard woods- 29 per cent red oaks, 24 per cent white oaks, 7 per cent hickory, 4 per cent yel low-popular, and 9 per cent other species. The principal softwood is shortleaf pine, with 18 per cent of the total volume. Other oines each with about 3 per cent cf the vol ume, are pitch, Virginia, and white. The survey shows about 12, 300 acres of planted pines, Pitts reported, but there is still that much or more idle or understocked pine land that needs planting. "Now is the time to put this land to work growing timber and Job* for the fut ure," he said. "Landowners who are Interested in plant ing trees can get the Inform ation they need from county agents or State Division of Forestry representatives." State Trooper Transferred MURPHY - Gary Church, newly assigned State Trooper to Cherokee County, has been transferred to Buncombe Co unty.

Captain Johnson, of the As heville District told the Scout today that the recent incident concerning a bullet fired thr outh the windshield of Church's cruiser had nothing to do with his transfer. "Due to his aggressiveness, and due to his being a new man, we thought it best to put him in a larger community where activities of the type carried on by him would be of more benefit to our accidentprone Asheville, " Captain Johnson said. Captain Johnson also stated that a replacement trooper for Cherokee County would be na med as soon as man power is available. Church began his new ass ignment in Buncombe County Monday, March 15.
