SMIL-El student at Ames, Iowa, were guests of Mrs. Joseph Bauer last Friday. your week ahead BY DR. A.W. DAMIS Forecast Period: May 13 to Nay 20, 1973 ARIES Mar. 21 • Apr. 19 TAURUS Apr. 20 • May 20 Take care! You'll be in a situation of saying, "I did not," while a member of the opposite sex will insist, "you did!" There's a difference between opportunity and temptation -- a big difference! During this par­ ticular cosmic cycle, subtle overtures are likely. Also, help you receive will have strings attached. As your spirits soar, so will the desire to spend. A chain of events will cause you to think about good grooming. Most members fo your sign must play the wait­ ing game; control impulsiveness. Remember, it's patience that makes the difference between the spider and the fly. This week finds you inclined to exaggerate. Keep fact and fancy straight. Bluntly, a lie won't function as the truth. A challenger waits in ambush. Secrets require greater protection in large groups. In other words, many members of your sign might betray a loyal friend's confidence, innocently! Many members of your sign might become mes­ merized by a powerful personality. See to it, that your present romance pattern is not broken. What you believe to be an insignificant de­ cision could, very well, parlay into a major responsibility. Take care with "minor" com­ mitments and promises. Emotionally, most members of your sign have become tinder boxes. This cosmic cycle could trip you into saying something that has incal­ culable consequences. Try to see beyond your own existance. It seems as though you have lost your sense Of values, by weighing everything on a scale of material gains. You know the story, "For the sake of a horse nail -- a kingdom was lost!" Tighten up on the insignificant things. Otherwise, a major reversal is probable. Avoid emotional stress and strain. Stellar pat­ terns might trigger you into putting a member of the opposite sex to test. Look for trouble and you'll find it!
