We still receive entries in side envelopes and they are not eligible to win. Simply clip and paste the puzzle on the outside of a postcard or envelope. Complete rules ivi uk wuru jjuiic are also on Page 3. We have been asked many times if you could enter more than once. The answer is YESl You may enter as many times as you wish, but no more than three hand drawn entries. Last week's explanation appears below. Acres* 1 . Encouraging youngsters to PLAY without hindrance often helps to develop their individuals talents (Plan). -Often points to PLAY. They could engage in non-constructive PLAY. With Plan, more serious Issues are at stake. Tactful guidance, at least, Is usually necessary. 3. We're usually tolerant of people when an obvious urgency makes them RUSH (Rash). -Usually exaggerates with Rash, which implies recklessness. RUSH doesn't have such a serious Implication. It's better with usually. 6. When we've problems of our own it often seems easy to DERIDE other people's (Decide). -The restraint in often seems fits better with the stronger term DERIDE, to ridicule or mock. Decide calls for a less qualified statement. It's natural for us to think our own problems are harder to solve than other people's. 7. As a rule, the longer a person has a bad habit, the more gratifying it is when he CURBS it (Cures). -When he Cures it, he's nd of it for good. That's always gratifying. CURBS doesn't go quite so far; it implies merely restraint. 12. The consequence of a defeat is often loss of PRIDE (Prize) -Often goes too far with Prize; in the vast majority of cases no Prize is involved. But in any kind of defeat a certain amount of prestige is involved, and it depends on the person defeated whether there is any loss of PRIDE. 13.. It often takes a lot to make a big taxpayer's heart SINK nowdaysi (Sing). - SINK is better. He has acquired a > fortitude that makes him almost shockproof! It at least usually takes a lot to make him so happy that his heart will Sing. 14. An excited person sometimes fails to realize he is CURT (Hurt). - The vast majority of Hurts are not serious, and It's often the case that in his excitement a person doesn't - realize he's Hurt. He's more likely to realize it if he's CURT : ?brief to the point of rudeness. 15. Posterity will be the richer for the LIVES of several illustrious nMB of our time (Lines). -Lima ia open to question; all to often the literary idols of one age become the abject | of ridicule In the next. LIVES is better with the unqualified wording of the clue. Down I I . A tyrannical boss usually makes it hard for an employe to hold his PEACE (Place). -Place is weak; even a very strict boss will not be so foolish as to sack an efficient employe without good reason. PEACE is more in accord with human nature. 2. Parents should be more watchful when their child is more of a LIMB than usual (Lamb). -When a child is a Limb he's mischievous; it makes a reasonable statement. But when he's more of a Lamb, more well-behaved than usual, it need not follow that he's up to something. 4. Solvers of this word game don't need HEAP of reference books (Help). -That you don't need a HEAP, a great many, reference books is true. To say no Help from any reference book is ever needed would be untrue. A dictionary might come in mighty handy at times. 6. How hard it is for the average man to ENSURE a life of leisure I (Endure) . - To whatever extent it's hard for the average man to Endure, put up with a life of leisure, It's obviously much harder for him to ENSURE, make certain, of such a life. 8. As a rule, the more excitable a person the less likely he is to SCARE people when he abuses them (Spare). -Those he abuses take into account his obvious excitability and refuse to SCARE. Even an excitable person usually has enough sense not to abuse others beyond their limits pi their endurance. Spare is less apt to use than SCARE in completing the statement. 9. Young women who are TRIM often tend to arouse young men' lively interest (Prim). - Often overstates with Prim, stiffy decorous. TRIM, neat and well-proportioned , is much the better word. 10. His putting his faith in ? MINX has caused many a trustful man to be disillusioned (Mine). -Many exaggerates 1 with Mine; some mines have proved worthless, but many have paid off. Many fits better with MINX, a pert or saucy girl. 1L Normally, a better's profit depends on the amount of ' money that he NETS (Bets). -NETS is reasonable. His > profit Is what he gains after deducting his outlay. Bets is a poor word to cboee. He might lose many Bets. A 1959 Ford, owned by D. JL. Hall, can be seen in the flames of a burning tool shed on the A. G. Quinn farm. The fire oc cured about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.
