Contract Bridge

In other words, you surrender
any advantage you might have Of
developing a trick for your side be-
cause it is certain that, against
trump lead, the declarer can win
the first trick and then can start
establishing his own suit.
A singleton usually is a poor
lead, and leading away from a
king is poor. Therefore, in to-
days hand we find there is no
lead left other than the ace of
hearts, and even this play will not
defeat the small slam contract.
However, if you do not open
the ace of hearts, the declarer can
put it to sleep with the following
play.
Naturally, when your partner
makes a first hand spade bid, and
you hold the North hand, you ex-
pect to play the hand for slam.
The bid of three clubs over two
hearts is highly constructive. The
bid of four diamonds over three
spades is another constructive bid.
n
VOU even have some hopes of
i trying for grand slam with
this holding, but when South sim
ply re-bids spades, then North
should bid five spades. This prac-
tically asks South if he holds dou-
bleton heart. Without the double
ton heart, South can go to six
spades.
If West opens the ace Of hearts,
that is the only trick the oppo-
nents can win. But if he opens a
diamond, the declarer will let it
ride to the queen, and then make
a grand slam.
With a club opening, the de-
clarer wins with the ace, takes two
rounds of trumps, leads another
club, wins with the king, and on
the queen Of clubs discardS a dia-
mond.
A small club is trumped and the
declarer now runs off five rounds
of spades, retaining in his own hand
the king of hearts and the queen
of diamonds. In the dummy he re-
tains the ace and eight of diamonds.
On the fifth spade West is
squeezed, with only the ace of hearts
and the king and jack of diamonds
left. Discarding the ace of hearts
will make declarer'S king good.
while dropping the jack of dia-
monds will permit declarer to lead
the queen, overtake in dummy With
the ace, and win the last trick with
the eight of diamonds.

Frequently the vision spoke, often
to order prayer, and on the seven
teenth visit to say:
Il am the immaculate concep-
ton"
The story of the visions got about
the town. to Bernadette's family,
to friends and neighbors and to the
parish priest. They were soon con-
WINGED that BeTnadette had seen the
vision and the LourdeS tradition
began to grow. Bernadette went
into a convent to become Sister
Marie-Bernard. She died in 1879,
at 35.

was brought to its most colorful to
do her honor.
Pope Plus was borne high above
the crowd in his chair at the head
of the procession to st. Peters. In
his encourage we're cardinals,
bishops, priests and humber
servants of the church; the surpliced
choir of the cathedral, the Swiss
and Noble guards and the PapaI
gendarmeS in their gorgeous uni
forms.

Virgin Mary Appears

Bernadette was a peasant girl.
Her father was Ill. There was no
food in the house. On Feb. l, 1853,
Bernadette, her younger sister
Toinette and neighbor child,
Jeanne Abadie. went to gather fire
wood.
They came to an icy stream. Ber-
nadette had asthma and asked
Jeanne to carry her across. Jeanne
refused. Bernadette sat down and
took of her stockings. She heard
a thunderous noise. The others
were oblivious. She heard it again
and turning her head toward the
grotto saw the Virgin at it's en-
trance in a golden cloud-young,
beautiful, with golden hair and blue
eyes. a veil about her head, her feet
bare, save for a gold rose on each,
a belt Of blue around her robe. a
chaplet with chain and cross of
gold over her right arm.
Frightened and awed, Bernadette
scrambled to her knees. The other
girls also were frightened, because
they saw nothing and feared for
Bernadette's sanity.
But eighteen times up to Oct. l
the girl saw the vision in the grotto.
Come here for fifteen days. the
vision said on it's third appear
ance. L promise then to make YOU
happy, not in this world but in

Girl WHO SAW
VISION SAINTED

Pageantry at Vatican City

LOurdeS.
BvUnitcdPress


VATICAN CITY, Dec. 8. - A
French girl who saw a vision Of the
Virgin Mary in a cave at Lourdes
seventy-hye years ago was pro-
claimed q saint today and hence
forth will be revered among the i'm
mortals Of the Roman Catholic
church.
Beside the hordes Of italians who
watched Pope Plus and his color
full escort go to st. Peters for the
canonization ceremony, 5000 French
pilgrims under twenty bishops were
here to pay honor to the girl
Bernadette Soubirous, who died a
nun in 1879.
There was a moving contrast be-
tween the pageantry Of today's cere-
mony and the picture Of little
Bernadette as she sat, her rough
wooden stockings in her hand as she
prepared TO wade an icy stream
and saw the Virgin in a grottO.
It is the grotto in whose entrance
Bernadette saw the vision that has
become world famous as the Lourdes
shrine, to which millions Of Cath
Olics have gone to seek intercession
for their ailments, and have re-
turned prOclaiming cures. Berna-
dette herself died in a convent after
twenty years Of pain, saying that
perhaps it was intended she was to
suffer that others might be saved
from suffering.

System to Be Nation Wide

Similar bureaus will be set up in
most Of the 5000 counties in the
country. In addition to supplying
information to the public the new
organization - NEG will dust
controversies arising between NRA
and AAA and will consolidate and
coordinate field activities Of the
numerous recovery agencies.
Both the White House and Frank
Walker, executive director of NEG
deny the agency will engage in gov
eminent propaganda. Instead, they
say it will answer questions from
the public and given information as
to how relief agencies may be uti-
lized. When necessary, it was indi-
Gated press statements explanatory
in nature may be issued.
Some Papers DispIease
The tendency to regard this new
agency as a potential channel Of
communication direct to the public
is the result of earlier develop
ments. One is the unprecedented
use Of radio by President Roosevelt.
Of late Mr.. Roosevelt has been
annoyed at some dispatches con-
corning his monetary policy appear
ing in certain newspapers While
speaking at Warm Springs recently,
Mr.. Roosevelt publicly jibed at some
of his press critics.
He is fully aware that number
of influential newspapers are OPP
posed to his recovery methods in
some respects. His advisers feel
that this criticism is likely to in
crease rather than diminish as the
next congressional campaign ap-
proaches.
Recently Acting Secretary of
Treasury Morgenthau clamped a
censorship on treasury news because

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is expanding his di-
rect contacts with the country.
This is regarded here as one Of
the most significant phases Of the
technique of this unprecedented ad-

believe that Mr.. Roosevelt is taking
pains now to make himself indie

ting his story to the public.
The latest move which has been
given this Interpretation is his
creation of the national emergency
council. Composed of administra-
ton officials directly connected with
the recovery program, the council
will set up central information
bureau in Washington to convey to
the general public all factual in
formation regarding governmental

LEGION PLANS FOR
MEMORIAL DAY
[COnfinued from FIrsf Pagel

Veteran-whether he be of the Rev
olutionary War, the Mexican, Civil,
Spanish-American or World War
will be decorated with an American
Flag. A salute will be fired on Me-
mortal Day at both the Odd Fellows
Cemetery and the Methodist Gene
terry.
Immediately after the services at
the Milford cemetery the Legion
aires of Milford will go in a body
to a celebration to be held at Reho-
both. The Henlopen Post at Reho-
both has formulated plans to which
all Legion Posts of Delaware have
been invited
Knowing that the souls of our de-
parted are immortal, we will kneel
on this Memorial Day and in the
language of Calvin Coolidge say,
while your influence remains. Am
erica will be safe" BY doing this.
May 80, will be a holy day and a
holiday.
Memorial Day originated at the
close of the Civil War. That day is
now one of national observance. In
natural sequence from the stand
point of its origin, priority in all or
ganizations should be given the G.
A. R. and its affiliations. After
years of carrying on" their ranks
are pathetically thinned, so the
World War veterans, at their re-
quest, are emulating those inimit-
able programs. The American Leg
ion feels privilege to participate and
regards It as a sacred trust to be OF
service on an occasion that carries
so great a sentiment.
In a larger sense, Memorial Day
means Poppy Day to the Legion and
Auxiliary. To us the poppy is the
Holy Grail of 1917-191S, that caught
the sacrihcial blood of our men. 1t
is the symbol of faith with those
whose blue stars of service turned
to gold when the loyal blue was
touched by the glorious sacrifice of
an unselfish one. Poppy Day is Mo-
theirs Day for those who gave their
priceless treasures of manhood. We
will foster and cherish loyalty and
devotion and look forward with
abiding faith TO continuous develop
ment, a growing usefulness, an un-
alloyed patriotism, broader field
of service, a greater confidence IN
the rightness of our country and in
the days that will be tomorrow, not
only in May, but in every month, we
will "honor the dead by serving the
living" "Twere better far we all
were gone. than that we fail to car
rY on"
