Show Junior TREASURE Chest : EDITED BY RUTH DIXON The -- Wild- Swan TH h-f- - -- By Helen Hudson i ip! pS' Find the Witch, -- Spud andfpoon Relay Race By George Martin This game is played with two teams. Before it starts, trace four circles on the ground; the first two about six feet from the starting point and the other two about six feet from the turning point In each of the first two circles place a potato. The two teams line up behhui their respective leaders, who each hold a spoon. At a signal, the leaders run to the first circle, pick up the potato with the spoon, carry it to the next circle, and drop it there. Then they run around the turning point, back to the circle with the potato, pick it up with the spoon again, carry it to the first circle, drop it there, and run to the starting point, where the next two players then take over. If the potato falls off the spoon, it must be picked up with the, spoon without using any part of the body to push it back on. The same is true if a potato rolls outside a circle. The team finishing first announces victory by yelling, "Spud!" Labor Dajr WordcQaitM By Bea Kites See how many words you can find in "Labor Day" in 20 minutes. Thirty words will be a good record.

We never get in a car without getting out 45 miles in the opposite direction from our goal. The first time we realised his peculiar affinity for nowhere was on a day we set out for an excursion to the slate park. Halfway, we encoun- tered a detour sign. -- Never mind thai," said Short-Cu-t "They juit off the road." put those signs up to keep people Short-Cplowed straight ahead. Within two miles we were stuck on what had been a highway until the construction crews decided otherwise. Backing up for two miles is hard on a car, not to mention the dispositions of the occupants. Short-Cu- t said he knew another way to get to the state park. We arrived in the same town four times from four different directions. We saw quite a lot of the town and nothing at all of the plans to take us on excursion. He says we can save y run on what the time by taking a map calls "unimproved roads. We know what this means. That's why we're not packing our customary traveling gear. I have replaced my compact with a compass, and Mother, who U also prone to dust allergies, has ordered a gas mask.
