The clues await you on Page
3, so put on your thinking caps
and go to work.
ACROSS
2. We're usually shocked to learn that a friend of ours has
been ROBBED on a grand scale (Robber). - Usually doesn't
go far enough with Robber. Exceptions are more likely with
ROBBED. He might be the careless type; we might even have
warned him.
4. There's usually something wrong with the man who
doesn't appreciate NEST (Jest). - NEST in this sense indicates
a comfortable home; usually doesn't exaggerate with this
answer. A Jest isn't necessarily either good or pleasant.
6. As a rule, women are more likely than men to be inspired
to sustained endeavor by a definite GOAD (Goal). - GOAD
is better; women are normally more sensitive than men. GOAL
is weak. Neither sex has a monopoly of ambition to reach a
Goal.
7. A PLAY that entirely lacks imagination is not likely to
be successful (Plan). -Not Plan; it might be merely a route
to be taken or the plan of a simple and unambitious building.
PLAY is better. Imagination is the very essence of the play
wright's art.
U. It's usually difficult to SEW in a dim light (See). - SEW
fits well with usually. Whether it's so difficult to See depends
on what is being viewed.
13. Even a cautious man is apt to take chances when the
opposition is MASSIVE (Passive). -Passive is weak. There
is no need for him to take chances. Recall, he's cautious.
MASSIVE is better; the opposition is of such proportions
that is seems he has nothing to lose by taking chances.
14. It's seldom very difficult for clever counsel to TRAP
a lying witness (Trip). - Seldom and very fit better with
TRAP. It implies much more than Trip. For him to Trip such
a witness is always easy for a clever lawyer, but to TRAP the
witness is to lead him to betray himself; a much harder
proposition.
15. Only a connoisseur can fully appreciate the merits of an
excellent WEED (Feed). - WEED , in the sense of a cigar,
makes a good answer here. The taste for a good one must be
acquired and cultivated. The statement completed by Feed, a
good meal, is too sweeping.
DOWN:
1. There's often much that's pitiable about a suitor who's
unduly ZEALOUS (Jealous). - Often understates with Jealous.
He's not only Jealous, but unduly Jealous. ZEALOUR doesn't
go quite so far. But, by being unduly ZEALOUS, he might
belittle himself.
3. Even men of exceptional BRAIN are often no match for a
seemingly weak womanl (Brawn). - Brawn takes in physical
strength only. It's not often that a woman, seemingly weak
or otherwise, can compete in that department. BRAIN takes
in all types of men, Brawny or otherwise. The girls charm
them all.
5. It's sometimes easy for a woman to SLAY a susceptible
man's ambitious (Sway). - Sometimes understates with Sway.
She needs only divert the ambitions a small degree. The
restraint of sometimes is better with SLAY, which implies
that he completely abandons his ambition.
8. Sometimes, his being NAGGED causes even a good
natured man to speak sharply (Fagged). - A man can scarcely
be called good-natured If his merely being Fagged, tired,
sometimes causes him to speak sharply. Being NAGGED
provides more grounds to speak sharply.
9. You're likely to regret it if you take on wild PETSi
(Bets). - PElo is much more realistic, and fits well with
the exclamation mark. Bets is open to question; there's no
indication of the size ? or the outcome ? of die Bets.
10. It calls for a certain amount of skill and experience to
handle a BOAT properly (Brat). - Not Brat; often the roost
effective way of coping with an unruly child is to give him or
her a good spanking, which requires common sense rather than
skill and experience. BOAT makes a matter-of-fact statement
of fact.
1L Intelligent parents seldom try to persuade a child by
means of SLAP (Soap). - Soap ? either in the sense of
flattery or the actual article is seldom employed by intelligent
parents. Sometimes, there's no alternative to a SLAP for
any parent.
12. Conditions today tend to make many a well-to-do person
GIVE sparingly (Live). - Tend and many dop't go far enough
with Live; most of us today have to keep a watchful eye on our
spending, even if we are well-to-do. The restraint in the clue
la better with GIVE.

Fourteen Local Boys Are
Attending Camp Ney-A-Ti
Fourteen Cherokee and Clay
County boys left Murphy Sun
day morning by Scout bus and
private car to spend wo weeks
at Camp Ney-A-Tl near Gun

Each year these boys are
guests of Southern News
papers Inc. The cost per boy
for the two weeks is approx
imately $25.00 and the News
papers pay all the cost plus
transportation to and from
the camp.
The youngsters are shown
by actual participation, what
the American way of life
means if our nation is to sur
vive in a world crowded by
ideologies and isms.
Conceived by newspaper
people as a place where you
ngsters might enjoy the never
to be forgotten experiences of
camp life in American, Camp

rtant job in working with our
youth.
The camp is situated on the
gentle slope of a mountain on

in North Alabama.
Since its construction in
1949, it has given over three
thousand youngsters a two
week camping experience at no
cost to themselves.
The camp is complete in
every way and can accomodate
about 125 boys in addition to
the camp leaders, counselors
and kitchen personnel. The

Letter To Editor
Dear Editor:
. Have you taken a close look
at the roads traveled by the
school buses in your commun
ity? If you have, you know
that at least a part of every
route covers some narrow,
crooked gravel roads.
That protion of the $300,
000,000 bond issue allotted to
secondary roads could and
should be used to improve the
school bus routes. This should
offer a challenge to the offi
cials of each county, to the
PTA of each school, to the
Community Development
Clubs and to each Individual.
It would be of some help to
the Highway Commissioners
if some group in each county
would take the responsibility
of compiling a list of unim
proved roads that are used by
the buses and the approximate
number of children living on
each road. This information
along with the Highway depart
ment's traffic count, could be
used to establish a priority
rating for each road.
"We have the opportunity
of our lifetime to Improve
Western North Carolina.H
The money is becoming avail
able to improve our roads but
we will have to ask for it
if we are to get our fair share.

Atlanta, the new highway will
open up isolated countryside in
Clay, Macon and Jackson co
unties.
The chief strategy of the
Appalachian program is to
build new roads in the moun
tain country and thus encour
age economic development of
the region.
The corridor approved
Wednesday runs from the vic
inity of Clyde, N. C., on Int
erstate 40, to Sylva, Hayes
ville and a point just south
of Blairsville, Ga., and then
on to Atlanta. It is to be
completed within five years.
Earlier it had appeared that
the Asheville-to-Atlanta high
way might bypass clay and
Macon counties, with the link
beginning at Blairsville tying
instead into a previously app
roved east-west highway near
Murphy.
The route finally approved
will be more direct and will
also open up more undeveloped
mountain territory.
