Junior TREASURE Chest EDITED BY RUTH DIXON L5r:r The Wild Swan rlTj5i: BV Helen Hudson ' Spud and Spoon Relay Race By George Martin This s;ame ia 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 turn ing point In each of the first two circles place a potato. The two teams line up behind their re spective 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 finish ing first announces victory by yelling, "Spud!" Tongue Twister Jealous Zelda zealously jallopied to be first to see the zoo's zany zebra.

A Spider! Make a little ball of damp clay. Cut three rub ber bands in half and stick these on for the spider's legs. Put a knot in one end of a long single piece of rubber band and stick it into the spider's body. When the ball is dry, paint the spider black with bright yellow stripes. Now hold the end of the top piece and bounce your wig gling spider up and down! a 0 One MEMBER of my family is known as Short-Cut Sam. We never get in a car without getting out 45 miles in the opposite direction from our goal. The first time we realized his peculiar affinity for nowhere was on a day we set out for an ex cursion to the state park. Halfway, we encoun tered a detour sign. "Never mind that," said Short-Cut "They just put those signs up to keep people off the road." Short-Cut plowed straight ahead. Within two miles we were stuck on what had been a high way until the construction crews dscided other wise. Backing up for two miles is hard on a car, not to mention the dispositions of the occupants. Short-Cut 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 state park. Last year Short-Cut took us on a fishing trip. He said it was foolish to take the main highway the last 60 miles. He said he knew a short cut that would take 20 miles off the journey. It also took two hours. The road had been abandoned right after the Lewis and Clark Expedition. We forded creeks, drove through pastures, over de cayed tree trunks, and past a total population of two inebriated hermits. By the time we reached civilization again, even Short-Cut was pale with shock. Mother had lumbago, and the car had lost half its nuts and bolts. NEXT week Short-Cut plans to take us on an other excursion. He says we can save time by taking a cross-country run on what the 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 is also prone to dust allergies, has ordered a gas mask. We have a strong suspicion that when Short Cut Sam leaves this earthly vale, he will inquire if there is not a shorter way to the Pearly Gates. He may get there eventually, but I'm williasto bet it will be the long way around. IUUSTIATION IT JOHN AUEN Family Weekly, September 1, 1M1 II
