[Bernie]

I thought Arctic at first but would Baltic be ok
14d the clue is resident of an israeli agricultural commune(10) i put in Kibbutzner. Hence that is where I got the R for 28a ?

[jno]

it should perhaps be kibbutznik

[jno]

no... it really needs to be arctic, the Baltic isn't that cold. Where did the A come from?

[poorclare]

Arctic does not fit
Baltic fits with 9d per-school pupil ~ kindergArtener
