Notes

  • Main feature
    • Decoder clues: Meet or Today; Oar to form Meteor.
    • The Swamp creatures were able to infect Superman but it is never explained how.
  • Craft: how to make a yo-yo out of a spool, two container lids, some string, and tacks.
  • Safety: how to handle hot objects and what to do if you do get a burn.

Trivia

  • The call letters (WXKZ) used by the ham radio operator are used by a FM radio station licensed to serve Prestonsburg, Kentucky.
