THE LEARNING CHALLENGER by Robert Barnett
DIRECTIONS: A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its letter one time, arrange the numbers with their letters for the "Order Grid" so each vertical column, horizontal row, and two diagonals each ADD to numbers inside thick lined cells. B. Some correct numbers with their letters have been put into the "Order Grid" to get you started. Also, above the "Order Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue. C. After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the let- ters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.

(AP) — An ice storm to compare with some of the Northeast’s worst made a mess of the region Friday, leaving 1.25 million homes and businesses in seven states with- out power as it forced schools to close and toppled ice-laden trees and power lines onto slippery roads. Most of the outages were in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine and New York, and it was expected to take several days to completely restore electricity. The storm wreaked havoc from Maine to Pennsylvania, leaving a sparkling, ice-covered land- scape that was too destructive for many to find beautiful. “This is pathetic,” said Bob Cott of Portland, Maine, who lost power for the first time in 10 years. “I’m already sick of winter and we have nine days to go before it officially begins.” At least one death was related to the storm: New Hampshire officials said a 49-year-old Danville man who lived in a camper ancient skull carrying a startling surprise — an unusually well- sunny personality, the red-haired Johnson starred opposite died of carbon monoxide poisoning after turning on his genera- preserved brain.
