It's time to roll out the barrel. Here's a Zoom barrel idea sent in by Jimmy Stevens of Hillside, Illinois.

Dear Zoom, I have a Zoom barrel idea. You need a ball about the size of a baseball. Throw the ball up and clap one time before catching it. Throw the ball up again and clap two times before catching it, and so on. See who can do this the most times. Good luck. Okay, now you throw it up in the air and clap once, and you throw it up in the air and clap again. One, two, three. No, you didn't do it. Wait. One, two, three, four. No, that's just three. One, two, three. One, two, three, four. Okay. One, two, three, four. You keep on catching it. One, two, three, four. No. No, no. All right, let me try. One, one, two. One, two, three.

Okay, ready? 1, 2, 3, 4. No. Wait. 1, 2, 3, 4. No. 2. 1, 2, 3. Yes. 1, 2, 3, 4. Yes. No. No. No. You did 2. No. You tied it on 4. You did it. No. Let me try. Not all the way. Okay. 1, 2. 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 1, 2, 3, 4. Oh, yay! Z-4? Yeah, Z-7? Yeah. As a matter of fact, did you know that each of us has 206 bones in our body? Wow! That's 412 in the both of us! Mommy! Mommy! I just heard a terrible rumor.

They say peanuts are fattening. Is this true? I don't know. Ask Mrs. Harper, the schoolteacher. She'll surely know. Mrs. Harper, I just heard a terrible rumor. They say peanuts are fattening. Is this true? I'm not sure. Ask Professor Green. She'll surely know. Professor Green, I just heard a terrible rumor. Really? What was it? They say peanuts are fattening. Is this true? Of course. Have you ever seen a skinny elephant? Should have known. My name is Greg Sautier, and I run. My name is Kathy Sautier, and I run, too.

Before you run a race, you have to limbo up to stretch your legs so you can run faster. My brother Greg and I long distance run almost every day after school we usually try to run at least two miles a day most days we run even longer my father got us interested in running about two years ago he's been running a long time and every spring he runs in the 26 mile race before i went and i never did well in gym but since i've been running i always get a's because i'm not big i used to have trouble with some of the older boys in the school

me and wicky were walking down the street and they came up and they started pushing us around And nobody likes to fight with him because he's dirty-fetched. So I just took off, and Ricky chased after me. And he didn't catch me, and he always used to catch me, but since I'm running now, he couldn't catch me because I'm trained. Most people don't think that girls run long distance, but I think most girls can do it just as well as boys. There's a whole bunch of us that run in a group right after school. Hey, do you know Dick Turner? When we have the morning running in school, he doesn't even eat breakfast, so he runs on an empty stomach, and I bet you that's why he's so good at it. But I bet you he'd be much slower if he ate as much as I did before running. When we started running, we just ran for short distances, but the more you train, the further you can go. Each day, you go a little further than the day before.

My father always tells us if we really want to be good at running or something else, we always have to practice. Sometimes I really get lazy about things, but most of the time if I really like something, I don't mind working so I can do it much better. Kathy, do you want to go outside and play catch? Nope. One of my advice that goes down to the drugstore? Greg, I'm practicing. We usually try to find roads or streets that don't have many cars. on him. And when we're running on busy streets, we run on the sidewalk.

Kathy, you want a box? Nah. I don't want a box. No. Where do I get wrong on holiday? A chicken or a knot. Stop it Greg! Stop it! Stop it! Alright, you've asked for it. You okay? You sure you are? No. Fake out, uh-huh. When you're running, you should run at a medium speed. a speed that's good for you, and you can't run really fast or else you won't have any power at the end to pass anybody.

At the end, you really have to sprint because it's your last chance you get to try to pass anybody or catch up to anybody. Okay, Captain, let's sprint. Here's a recipe sent in by Alan Davidson of Upton Mass. What you need is some milk, some orange juice, some bananas, and some orange sherbet. What you do is peel and slice one ripe banana. Mine's already peeled and sliced.

Then mash it with a fork. Then add 1 1⁄2 cup orange juice. and beat it with an egg bead. Then add one half cup milk. and a couple of scoops of orange sherbet. Then beat it again until it's smooth.

Then pour it into a tall glass. And to top it off, add one scoop of orange sherbet. And there's your banana orange frost. Here's a riddle sent in by Ronald and Roger Salois of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. What do you get when you have two banana peels? A pair of slippers! And for your banana fans, here's another banana recipe. What you need is some bananas, some salt, some molasses and some milk.

Peel and slice one like banana and put it in a bowl. Then mash it with a fork. Then add one, two tablespoons of molasses. A dash of salt, a half cup of milk, then beat it with an egg beater. Then pour it into a glass and drink it.

they both taste real good max and the roller coaster sent in by james reed of bend oregon max roland billy william man or Max, as his friends called him, loved carnivals. He particularly liked roller coasters, but he never got to ride on them because he was an alligator. Max lived in the city zoo and had lots of pals. He played with them all the time, but all Max was really interested in was riding on a roller coaster. And now, head roller, wheel coaster. One day, Max had an idea. He disguised himself in a floppy hat with a flower in it an old shawl and a green umbrella and slipped out of

his pool he went directly to the roller coaster ticket office and bought himself a ticket pretty soon max was getting into a roller coaster car next to an old lady who likewise loved roller coasters hey come on and get this thing started she yelled at the ride operator who was dozing Soon they were underway. Max enjoyed his ride, all the way up, and all the way down, up again. Suddenly, the car stopped at the very top of the roller coaster. What do we do? asked the old lady. Max, in his usual fashion, had an idea. Hold on to my leg, and I'll jump out, said Max, opening his green umbrella. So the old lady did as she was told, and they floated to the ground. Hooray! Shouted to all the people. Max was the hero of the day.

But then, Max's hat fell off, and everyone stared. Get out here! Help! They screamed and all ran away, but the old lady didn't run. I'll buy you from the zoo And you can come to my home And be my pet She said to Max Max was overjoyed Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy These days, if you want to meet Max You'll find him in the old Ledge's apartment Thinking about Ferris wheels Is he three? Yeah, is he four? Yeah As a matter of fact Did you know that on the island They have flying flogs. Ribbit we go. Into the wild blue yard. Dear Zoom, here are four big wooden sticks and four half the size of the big sticks. Try to arrange them so that there are three equal squares.

Good luck. Oh. P.S. Don't look at the answer unless you have to. Okay, four, I don't really get that. Three equal squares. I think it's like this, and then you somehow put these in the middle. Why? But that makes four, you see, and that's not a square anyway, I'm not four, you have four. Alright, let's see. Hmm. Are they equal? No, I know. It must be equal squares. No, I know. I know, I'm making them equal. he doesn't mean equal in length these are oblongs or i mean i mean rectangles they're supposed to be squares like that you see it's supposed to be square see if that's too long hey wait a minute they might all have to be in a straight line

Here, from a place that was long on me. Look at all four squares. I'll wear it today. I knew it all the time. I really did. Ta-da! We did it! We did it! We did it! Our teacher, Mr. Smith, designed this kayak and help us make our first one. Right along this line.

The Sharpie School has almost all the tools we need. Some of the saw work is tricky. Mr. Smith helps us out with it. Come on, guys, let's get the frames on. Here's the screwdriver. Thank you. So, we'll get the other one. How's it going?

Good. Good. Hey, round this part off a little bit more so the canvas comes evenly. And then up in the front here, just bring it down closer to this surface here so it's flatter. While you're doing that, I'm going to soak your canvas and I'll meet you outside. All right, okay. You're going to get outside, yeah, I can just put it in. Okay. Pull back away. It's like a bag of war. Yep, real tight. It's as tight as we're going to get it. Okay, that's good. Somewhere. Right. Right here. Now. Okay. Thank you.

Let's go. This car has a wide open, feeding it in and out easily without it tipping over. It's not meant to take over the rapids or anything like that, because then you need

to take on too much water. Since the boat's really tippy, it's easy to roll over. You really have to be a good swimmer and know what you're doing in the water. Z-7? Yeah, Z-1? Yeah. As a matter of fact, did you know that the whale shark is the largest fish and measures 59 feet long? Hmm, something's fishy around here. This land is your land. This land is my land. From California to the New York Island. From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters. This land was made for you and me. As I went walking that river of highway

I saw above me that endless skyway I saw the lonely, that golden valley This land was made for you and me This land is your land This land is my land From California to the New York Islands From the redwood forest to the ghostly water This land was made for you and me I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond desert While all around me a voice was sounding Saying this land was made for you and me

This land is your land This land is my land From California New York Island The sun came shining, as I was strolling, and the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds This land was holy, as the fall was lifting, our voice was singing, this land was made for you and me. This land is your land, this land is my land, California, New York Island, On the red forest, the green forest, the green forest, this land was made for you and me,
