Find an Indian, an old trapper, a fish, a bird, and a young elk.
By Albert Let
Provide each player with three flat
ticks, such as tongue sticks or ice
cream sticks. Players write their
names on the sticks. With chalk or a
string, mark a standing line and a
goal line five or more feet away, de
pending on the weight of the sticks.
Each player in turn skips his three
sticks as far as he can. After all have
played, the one whose stick has gone
farthest is the winner of the round.
Five rounds are played. The one with -the
best score wins the game.
WKh a Hick Heart
By Ida M. Pariut
Here is a game to play with an old
deck of playing cards. It doesn't mat
ter whether some cards are missing.
Stack the cards face down. Each
player in turn takes the top card and
starts a stack of his own. All cards
go face down except hearts, which go
face up.
A player may capture another's
whole stack by placing a higher heart
on top. The player with the most
cards after all have been turned is .
the winner.

Sometimes Mr. Mallard's side-kick tries to poke
Mrs. Mallard in the nose. Then Mr. Mallard kicks
her in the shins and bites Mrs.- Mallard all the
way back to the nursery.
The rest of us have seen unhappy marital situ
ations but never one to tie this. Last night an
other brawl at the Mallards' kept us awake, and
now we're afraid to look in the log windows for
fear the anticipated babies have fallen out. Even
if they have, Mr. Mallard is probably back at
some tavern this morning, sleeping it off.
Really, what can any of us expect from children
who will be raised in such an environment? We
face the appalling prospect of having 12 juvenile
delinquents about.
No wonder people have so much trouble when
even a duck can't manage his own affairs.
The mallards down the road are a
horrible example of a couple who
entered marriage with their eyes shut
and have since made a grand mess of it
Someone ought to call the Family Service
League, except that they've never undertaken to
straighten out domestic dilemmas for ducks.
It's apparent to all of us that the Mallards
haven't shown the slightest talent in proper se
lection of a home, the duties of approaching
parenthood, or choice of friends. Any one of these
can founder even a proper marriage. Observers
of the Mallards wonder if this one qualifies even
under that classification.
Rather than locate in an area with others of
their own. the Mallards selected a warm climate
devoid of other ducks and inhabited entirely by
people and dogs. Then, instead of building a home
in a suburban area, the Mallards chose a rotten
log in the center of a throughway.
Furthermore, they're expecting 12 children any
day now, but neither of them seems to care. Mrs.
Mallard rushes off to the beauty shop and sits be
fore the watery mirror preening her locks and
manicuring her nails while the blessed event back
home is left to fend for itself.
MB. mallard, an even more reprehensible type,
spends most of his time across town with
friends from his bachelor days.
Now and then when Mrs. Mallard comes home
and discovers a burglar, she calls her husband
and he lurches in, accompanied by a couple of
cronies. The Mallards have heated battles about
this right out on the road in front of everybody.
