FOLK, Va, Sept. 13
TN.So. - They're having high
jinks in the Hampton Roads area,
centering here, and the New Deal
has everything to do with it.
When Uncle Sam decided to
build up the navy he didn't rea-
lie just how much good cheer it
would contribute to this section,
which depends so much upon ship
building for prosperity.
One Of the principal benefici-
aries is the corn liquor industry,
which, up to this time, has not
adopted any code.
"JOe" Tells Inside Story
My informant is not the Cham
Der of Commerce, but a man who
for professional reasons and also
because of a natural reticence
prefers to be known only as Joe.
Joe is one of the more prosperous
Of the towns corn liquor dealers
the term "bootlegger" is most
obnoxious to him.
Quoting Joe:
"YOu see, all this section
Newport News, Portsmouth and
acknowledgements chiefly upon
Shipbuilding and shipping. Well,
when the Government shoots
the Navy over to the Pacific
Coast, it raised Ned these are
JOe's exact wOrds) with pros
perity around here. 1 know, be-
cause the liquor business fell
off So should even say Co.
per cent.
"But now they're building two
aircraft carriers in Newport at
q cost Of $19,OOO,OOO apiece and
q couple of deStrOyerS here and
in Portsmouth for eight or nine
million apiece. Remember, too,
that 80 per cent of the cost of
Shipbuilding-SO one of the boys
tells me-gOes into actual pay
rolls"
Joe took a deep breath after
Shis statistical splurge and added:
$50 what? So now Pm doing
so much business can't handle
it all by myself. Of course, 1
haven't any code, but I've taken
on three boys and have given
then good wageS-and 1 don't
mean $14 weekly either"
TYPICAL OF WHOLE SOUTH
It appears that Joe's experience
Is typical of the whole South.
Payrolls have skyrocketed here
and the wages of textile, tobacco
and cotton workers have doubled
overnight. In the inland cities,
notably Richmond, hundreds of
industry workers and retail trade
employees have returned to work.
Most of these hitherto had little
money or no money at all and
such luxuries as corn" had to be
dispensed with. But now they are
not only spending literally in
stores, movie theaters, ball parks
and other places of amusement
but they are providing New Deal
for the moonshiners.

Knights TempI0r Hold Inspection
Group Is Given Perfect Mark by Grand Inspector
 De Kyn of Danbury

Drawing one of the largest at- tendances for many years the Knights Templar, Clark Command cry, held inspections last evening at Masonic hall. A perfect mark was given to the lodge by Grand In- spector F. Ward DeKlyn of Dan- bury, who inspected the command cry.
 Nineteen past commanders and the present commander, John E. Porzenheim were in attendance. The past commanders at the tn- spection were William G. Smith, Benjamin l.. Coe, John R. Hughes, Charles M. Brooks, Dr F. c. Marg- graff, Franklin B. Daniels, John L.. Scott, William R. Keaveney, former Gov Charles A. Templeton, Ernest A. Anderson, John w. Potter, George H. Wells, E. Sidney Bron- son, Fenton Niver, Charles Roden- bach, Ivan Schoonmaker, John H. Baeder, Louis H. Stocking and Robert J. Eggleton.
 Following the inspection, a ban- quet was held for 260 knights. An unique arrangement was employed in seating the guests. The past commanders were arranged by years and the knights who were raised during their terms were sated with them. The dinner was prepared by the Eastern Star.
 Entertainment consisted of selec- tions by the Little Symphony or- chestra of Waterbury, and the Milky Way quartet. The speaker was Rev Richard Hegarty, pastor of the First Methodist church.

should be 8 slam in the hand. If an original bid of three clubs Is made and partner responds With three hearts, showing the ace of hearts, six clubs seem assured and possibly seven.
 On the other hand, some players contend that there is no definite way to tell whether the hand should be played at clubs or spades and therefore the hand should be opened with a two bid. However, I am not inclined to fa- vor the shading of the original two or three bid.
 My partner, Sir Derrick J. Wern- her, president of the American Bridge league, and sitting ill the South, opened the contracting with one heart. South then bid I in the North. East was kind enough to keep the bidding open with one hear. South then Did two spades and I responded with two no trump.
 South's next bid was four clubs and I was forced to make some re- sponse. decided that a four spade contract was one trick less than five clubs, and did not feel that either could be made, so my re- sponse was four spades. which East doubled.
 The ten of hearts is opened and won by East with the queen. The king of hearts is continued and the heart is ruffed by South. Two rounds of spades are taken and then clubs are led until West ruffs, and four spades duobled is made. (Copyright, 1888, NEA Service.

Solution to Previous Contract

Solution to Previous Contract
 Problem
 To-day's hand was the cause of much discussion and comment at the recent Canadian American contract bridge championship tour nament conducted by the American Bridge league at Niagara Falls, N. Y.
 The tournament is to become an annual event, the location alternat- ing between the United States and Canada. Next year the American players will play their first con- tract tournament in Canada.
 As this was the first tournament in which players from two differ ent countries participated, we were interested keenly in the type of contract to be played by the Cana United States. While I believe that the latter, at present. can handle the bidding little better,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-11-24

I must say that as card players the Canadians are as fine as any have seen in the United States.
 The majority of tables arrived at six club contract, few play ing the hand at five clubs doubled and redoubled. Only three pairs arrived at spade contract. which. it is interesting to note, is the only contract that can be made.
 The question isis the hand strong enough to be opened with an original forcing bid, and if a forcing bid is to be made, should a two or a three forcing bid be used !? Remember, an original three bid in the Sims system states that here is game in the suit first named and that partner is to name his high est ace.
 It seems that. if the ace of hearts could be located there
