Figure It Out Four men, Adams, Bates, Clark, and Douglas were talking about their wives. They weren't good friends and the statements they made are not all accurate. The only sure thing is that each statement in which a man men­ tions his own wife's name is correct. Read the following statements and determine the given name of each man's wife: Adams: "Dorothy is Jean's mother. I have never met Patricia." Bates: "Clark's wife is either Dorothy or Patricia." Clark: "Patricia is Adams' wife. Dorothy is Jean's older sister." Douglas: "Margaret is my daughter. Dorothy is older than my wife." McHenry Junior high.

The POET'S CORNER TAKE TIME • Take time to love, Take time to cry. Take time to laugh And search the sky For dreamy clouds That go drifting by. If I should die Before I'm old You must not say -- "He was never told To face up to life And at times be bold." All men must face Their time to die. When all is done Let no man cry, "I never took The time to try, ® Or love or laugh Or search the sky"., Mary Watson ONLY ONCE If the sun set only once a year, How would it feel? Would you look up and sneer? I think we would stand and cheer. If it rained only once every six months How would you feel? Would you watch it only once? I think we would celebrate in a bunch If it snowed only once in a decade How would people feel? Would they curse it and shovel it away? I think they would have fun, go out and play. If you were to love me only once for a day How do you think I would feel? Would I run away? I think I would stay and enjoy all day. And if the sun set only once a year How would you feel?
