@Barb Walker,
Looks like you have "Erasers" spelt as "Erasure"
I have "Erasers"and my answers work around this spelling.
64a combine MINI and DESERT, rearrange to form "Ministered"
68a combine NEEDS and SPUDS, rearrange to form "Suspended"
61d hint, DISTRESSED, to bandage a wound is to dress it, answer "Dressed"
66d rearrange SAME to make "Seam" in mining vein and seam are similar in meaning.
Could you help me with 67a please, I think it is Cairo. Dicky Bart.
