34a -- bag (??)

Hi Farkha

I have found the following answers:

53a: penance

50d: merely

62a: rotate

34a: bag

Dutchy

Merry Andrew- Dutchy, my thanks. I guess I will have to continue to seek help until I get my thinking right.

Hi Farkha and Dutchy,

For 53A. I had 'balance'
stability= balance
representative of justice= the 'blind lady of justice' holds a sword in one hand, and a 'balance' or 'scales' in the other.
(let me know what you think about this one)

For 50D. I had 'barely'
just= barely
graduate= BA
BA+ rely= barely (let me know what you think about this one)

For 62A. I also had 'rotate'
switch= rotate
decay= rot
eroded= ate

For 34A. I also had ' bag' for 'criticise'

Regards, Butterfly

Hi Butterfly

Your answers make more sense than mine, hence I will alter my effort. Sorry Farkha for leading you astray.
