RED CROSS TO GIVE
rs FAMILIES CHEER
Special Boxes Will Enable Them
to Know It Is Christmas,
Head Says

Seventy-five Burleigh county fami-
lies will receive Christmas cheer from
the Red Cross this year, Mrs. F.. L.
Conklin, county chairman, said Mon
day.
Boxes containing candy, nuts and
toys for children are being prepared
at Red Cross headquarters and will
be dispatched this week.
The idea, Mrs. Conklin said. is to
provide something of the Christmas
atmosphere for families which other
wise would not be able to distinguish
Christmas from any other day. Checks
and money have been received from
several individuals and clubs to fl
nance the work, she said, and men,
hers of the Kiwanis club have each
agreed to provide cheer for one family
on the same basis as was done a year
ago for families in the drouth area.
Packing of the boxes is being done
by the girl scouts under the direction
of Mrs. A. P. Lenhart and Mrs. Walter
Mcdonald.
Several contributions to assist in
buying shoes also have been received,
Mrs. Conklin said, but most of the ma
terial received for relief purposes has
been distributed. This includes 3d.
600 yards of outing flannel which has
either been given to women as piece
goods or sent out as made-up gar
ments. Underwear received from the
national Red Cross also has been dis
tributed. she said, although requests
for it still are frequent.

Secretary. American Bridge League
At least one conference was held in
New York recently where economic
depression lost its importance, but
where the tragedy of distribution be-
came the all-important factor.
This was the gathering Of bridge
experts Of the country, who recently
assembled to compete in the Sixth
Annual National Championship Tour
nament of the American Bridge
League.
I have selected the following as the
most interesting hand of the first ses-
sion Of the national open contract
team championship. It was played by
my teAmmate, Mr.. Lewis r. Ayres of
Philadelphia.
To triumph over an opponent usu-
ally brings only groans OF anguish
from that opponent, but after Mr..
Ayres played this hand, his opponent
shook his hand and congratulated him
for the fine manner in which he had
played it.
