Wouldn't you know - 1 plum forgot it. Now I hear by the vine that they not only plan to lower our ears next trip, but are goon* clip them clean off. -J Max Blakemore says that he Is mighty unhappy with die ZIP code system. Seems as though a letter was mailed to the Radio Station from Washington, D. C. and it took ten days to arrive. Everything was proper on the envelope right down to the ZIP except It was addressed to Murphy, Georgia. According to Max, that little ale ZIP code is supposed to bring the mall through, on time that Is. -J Y'all probably read ? few weeks ago where Yogi Bern of die N. Y. Mets Ml put on walw from the bell cM> for $1.00 and some "Honey" bought him. Well here la tout big chance. We understand that Willie "Coot" Craig of the Tomotla soft ball team and Robert Woody of the Jaycees Club arebothonwalver. Willie for 76# and Robert for 91.00. So It all depends which you want to pay the most for -- Pepsi or Coke. -J Wally Williams , ex pro baseball player, came up with this tidbit. A group of fellows were playing baseball in a cow pasture, a long fly ball was hit and a pig, laying in the outfield, caufps the ball In its mouth and swallowed It.

In contrast, fathers on the Mediterranean Isle of Levant even do the family laundry. In parts of Africa, South America and India, Pop apenda a week in bed every time a child is hern to him.

Turn to Page 3 and read the clues to this weeks puzzle. Kemem&er, your entry must be postmarked no later than 12 o'clock noon on Monday. Yours oould be the all correst winning entry. w H N N H W M M M ACROSS: 3. Women are often very uncharitable toward a rival who WHINES (Shines).- Often and very go rather far with Shines, which reflects unfairly on women's sportsmanship generally. WHINES is better. Women are less likely to have much sym pathy with someone, particularly a rival, who "can't take it." 5. A cynic might well say that people at the turn of the century were much HANDIER dun we are today (Hardier).- In light of medical progress, even a cynic would be hard put to say that folks used to be Hardier. He might well reflect on our push button living, and say that folks were HANDIER. Whether folks today are inherently less HANDY is debatable- to all but a cynic. 7. When a woman Is buying clothes, her husband's idea of HASTE is often vastly different from hers (Taste).- It's scarcely accurate to state that his Taste is often vastly different. HASTE Is more reasonable; men are often hardput to understand why women take so long to choose clothes. 10. It's seldom difficult for a man of character to escape from an unpleasant PAST (Pest).- A Pest is no respecter of character. Seldom difficult understates with Pest. PAST Is better, considering the nature of the man. 12. Students who FLOG their brains with excessive study before an exam are apt to fall (Clog).- FLOG, yes; it em phasises that the study is being very much overdone. Clog is weak. What matters is not so much the amount of learning he tries to store, but the time in which he tries to do it. 14. It's usually difficult to maintain a FORMAL manner when you're excited (Normal).- Usually points to FORMAL. You're not only excited, but you're trying to behave in an unusual way. With Normal, you'd have only the excitement to control. 15. Adults are seldom able to LOVE as happily and whole heartedly as children (Live).- LOVE Is better. As adults, we've outgrown the trust and Innocence Inherent in children. Live Is more open to question; we have greater knowledge and philosophy of life to sustain us. 16. Often, the more klndhearted a person is the more likely he Is to be MISLED (Missed).- MISLED is true to life. As for Missed, often doesn t go far enough. DOWN; I. Women often show a surprising weakness for a scandalous CHAP (Chat).- Neither sex has an edge on liking-- or disliking such conversation (depending on your view of the matter). Chat is weak. The rogue's very weaknesses might arouse the mat ernal instinct in the ladles. CHAP is the better word to com plete the clue. 2 It's often hard not to butt in when cynics RANT (Cant). Cant is insincere and hypocritical talk; when cynics of all people, talk thus it's at least usually hard not to butt in. RANT doesn't go quite so far; it means merely to talk noisily ex citedly. 4. After a long absence SUN is usually gladly welcomed (Son).- The personal relationship implied by Son is such that usually understates. Occasions on which the SUN might not be so gladly welcomed are more likely. 5. RESTIVE moods usually diminish as we get older (Festlve). RE STIVE means stubborn, unmanageable, refractory; it's no exaggeration to say that such moods usually diminish as we get older. Usually goes too far with Festive; gay joyous moods. 8. His having a succession of bad SPILLS is often apt to under mine a man s self-confidence (Spells).- Often apt is too re strained with Spells, in both the sense of ill-health and in the sense of bad periods in his personal life. The restraint Is better with SPILLS; there might well be no permanent dam ?ge. 9. A man describable as WORM usually reveals it in his appearance (Worn).- WORM is better; it describes an abject wretched of contemptible person. The man who is tired or exhausted may often put up a good front. II. Efficiency sometimes suffers when workers are TIMED on a job (Tired).- Sometimes fits well with TIMED. Having to finish a piece of work in a specified time sometimes causes workers to hurry and make mistakes. With Tires, sometimes under stares. 13. It usually takes much character to wage a LONG fight against adversity (Lone). -Virtually always is needed with Lone. Usually is better with LONG. Though the fight is LONG, there's no Indication that it's undertaken alone.
