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.

By MARK WOODS Universal Media Syndicate

(UMS) Everyone hates high heat bills. But we’re all sick and tired of turning down the ther- mostat and then being cold. Well now, brand new HEAT SURGETM mira- cle heaters are actually being given away free to the general public for the next two days starting at precisely 8:00 a.m. today. The only thing local readers have to do is call the National Distribution Hotline before the 48 hour deadline with their order for the handmade Amish Fireplace Mantles. Everyone who does is instantly being awarded the miracle heaters absolutely free. This is all happening to launch the new HEAT SURGE Roll-n-GlowTM Amish Fireplace that actually rolls from room to room so you can take the heat with you anywhere. That way, everyone who gets them fi rst can immediately start sav- ing on their heat bills. For the first time ever, portable Amish fire- places are being delivered directly to the doors of all those who beat the deadline. These miracle fi replaces have what’s being called the ‘Fireless Flame’ technology that gives you the peaceful fl icker of a real fi re but with- out any fl ames, fumes, smells, ashes or mess. Everyone is getting them because they require no chimney and no vent. You just plug them in. The Fireless Flame looks so real it fools everybody but it has no real fire. So what’s the catch? Well, the soft spoken Amish craftsmen who hand make the mantles are imposing a strict household limit of 2 during the strain of the winter rush. “We can barely keep up ever since we started giving heaters away free. Now that it’s really cold outside, everyone’s trying to get them. Amish craftsmen are working their fingers to the bone to be sure everyone gets their delivery in time to save a lot of money,” confirms Timothy Milton, National Shipping Director. “These portable Roll-n-Glow Fireplaces are the latest home decorating sensation. They actually give you a beautifully redecorated room while they quickly heat from wall to wall.
