Have fun and enter as many times as you wish. ACROSS: 1. Even the shrewdest speculator sometimes gets bad SHOCK (Stock).- Sometimes exaggerates with Stock; not* even the shrewdest. SHOCK is better; the SHOCK need not be related directly to his purchase. 5. We are usually most reluctant to depart from OATH we have taken defiantly (Path).- Though we have taken the action openly and boldly, in resistance to opposition, we're most reluctant to depart from the OATH, which U a solemn thing. To depart from a Path, a course of action, is of less consequence. 6. Who can deny that success and GAIN are Inseparable? (Pain).- Success of itself, is a GAIN of some kind. Success and GAIN are inseparable. It is by no means necessary for Pain to be linked to success. 7. A sensible boss seldom evades a frank discussion with employees when it's likely to PREVENT difficulties (Present). Seldom goes too far with Present, which has no implication of urgency; he might well wait for a better atmosphere. PREVENT gives a better reason why the discussion should not be evaded; seldom applies because the clue merely says likely. 10. A man who OWES a lot of money is often much sought after (Owns).- Often and much exaggerate with Owns; he might be a recluse, his wealth might not be pifcllc knowledge. OWES is more to the point; he probably has many creditors. 14. Good manners often preclude us from dealing with BONES as we'd like to (Bores).- When we refrain from dealing with Bores as we'd like to, it's virtually always our good manners that stop us. This isn't true to BONES; however satisfying it might be to take them in hand, we might not care to get our fingers greasy. 15. His falling deeply in love sometimes makes a young man SLOG at his work (Slow).- Because of his day dreaming it's much more likely to make him Slow at his work than to make him SLOG, toil, at it. Sometimes denotes lnfrequeocy, rather than frequency. 16. Self-conscious people are apt to be embarrassed when they are greeted WARMLY (Warily).- They're more than apt to be embarrassed when greeted Warily. WARMLY Is better. It's more likely to make them feel at ease. DOWN: 2. Often, the more a child CHEEKS his parents the more likely he is to be pampered (Cheers).- Often is too restrained with Cheers. This isn't necessarily so with CHEEKS; the saucy child might be very appealing, but if he goes too far he's asking for punishment rather than pampering. 3. When circumstances require it a diplomatic person la usually able to conceal anger beneath a BLANK expression (Bland).- A Bland, mild, expression is much harder to assume than a BLANK expression. The occasions on which he's not able to conceal his anger beneath a BLANK expression must, therefore, be rarer. 4. The older a worker, the less likely be often is to SUIT a reflective employer (Quit).- SUIT makes a matter-of-fact statement. Less likely with often understates with Quit. The older worker will hang on to his Job if at all possible. 8. The only thing welcomed by many ? seasick passenger Is COAST! (Toast).- Even Toast is too much for the vast majority of seasick people to consider eating. That they'll welcome COAST and a chance to get on dry land is absolutely true. 9. Excitable persons are apt to be HASTY when provoked (Nasty).- Not Nasty; die persons referred to are merely excitable, not ill-tempered or bad-natured. HASTY fits better with excitable. 11. His proposal of marriage being received with disdain tends to make a proud man WILD (Wilt).- That it leads to make him WILD, awry, is reasonable. Wilt suggests that his pride is deflated. Thia would be so seldom, that tends goes rather far with this answer. He's proud. IS. A clever woman is usually careful not to make a man she's after feel POOR (Boor).- She's a clever woman, and might want him to feel POOR ae that aha can tad htm Ida poverty doean't matter! Usually understates with Boor. 13. A joyous occasion la often marked by a hearty MEAL (Peal).- A coronation or the end of a war might be marked by ? hearty Peal, loud ringing of bells, but often exaggerates here. Often la better with kCAL, with hearty uaS to the sense of "extraordinary.'' Rtpsfclicia Womm Slat* Prt|raa finance Chairman, N.CF. It W.j Mrs. Baher MarrUon, Put Preatdant af tba Craan ville, S. C.
