CROSS WORD PUZZLES HE public must have something to rave about-- first it was Five Hundred, then Bridge and Mah Jongg, and now Cross Word Puzzles. And of all the crazes, the puzzles are the most worthy. What good did all these games do other than give us a few hours diVersion and a possible fuse with our friends and families, but have you consid- ered the actual good the much ridiculed puzzles are doing? They broaden us as no other fad could doe they freshen our minds to subjects long forgotten, they add new items that We possibly would never have known or cared about. Even little children are interested and it is indeed interesting to note the meanings they derive for the spaces, and thus unconsciously strengthen their vocabularies. On the other hand, I must admit there are ill results, such as carrying it too far. We see people bring papers and dictionaries to the dining table; we see them on the cars and in all public places. This, of course, is absurd, but those people are the extremistwthe ones who spoil all good things, who only partake for the sake of the publicity they may cause. We cannot be bothered with that minority, we should only notice the very many scholars who have come to realize the good of these puzzles. I am far from a scholar, but I just want to say that at first I thought it all tommyrot and a waste of time; and although I am still far from being a re- cruit, I cannot keep myself from seeing the attrac- tiveness of solving each puzzle. It gives us faith in ourselves to be able to solve these puzzles correctly and in the end it will broaden our scope and strengthen our ability along desired lines. So come on, and join the ranks! S. A. BRUMBERG. Page 100
