CONTRACT BRIDGE
 By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge league
Leads Into Opponent That's Simple Way For Declarer Te
 Make Contract, For Next Play Must Be as.sma Into His Own Hand.
Solution to Previous Contract Problem

For some 1t is hard to appre- ciate the place that bridge plays in our social life. Men and women travel hundreds of miles across the country to play in a bridge tournament and, if tn ey win, their only reward is to have their. names engraved on one of the national trophies. No. cash prizes and no betting are permitted at national tournaments,
 I visited the Terrace club in New York the other night and was pleasantly surprised to see the arr ray of silver cups displayed in the clubroom. The players of this club have made O very fine record for themselves. It is one of the newer clubs and the younger play CTS represent it.
 Recently 1t, added to It's collec- ton the national team -of-four- and the national mixed pair trophies. Morrie Ellis and Sylvester Gintell, two members of this club. also won for themselves a trip to Florida. in a bridge tournament recently.
 Here's one of. the hands played by Morrie. Ellis. He held the South cards. It will show you how alert and accurate these youngsters are on the play of the cards. 8'. !ai S.S aa

A Letter of Appreciation From
The Oakland Volunteer Fire
nonarf M ont
Department
To the Editor of The Republican:

To the Editor of The Republican,:
The Oakland Volunteer Fire Depart
ment desires to take this method of ex-
tending its sincere thanks and express
ing it's appreciation to all the citizens
of Oakland and Mountain Lake Park
for their wonderful cooperation in
housing and taking care of the visitors
to the Firemen's Convention last week
and otherwise in helping to make the
convention success.
We also desire to extend our graft
tude to those who helped out in the
way of decorating their buildings and
advertising in our official program.
We extend our thanks to the Board
of Education for the use of the High
School auditorium where the sessions
of the convention were held and to the
Board of County Commissioners for
its cooperation and the use of the
court room for the meeting of the
ladies' auxiliary.
We also extend our thanks to the
visiting fire companies, especially
those coming from West Virginia and
Pennsylvania. Their attendance and
participation added much in making
the parade a success.
We extend sincere thanks to the
members of St. Pauls Methodist Epis-
copal church for the. use of their edi-
flee for the Firemen's memorial SER
vices. These services were most i'm
pressive and will not soon be forgotten.
We thank Mrs. Charlotte Randall
for bringing her first aid corps to Oak
land. 1t was one of the outstanding
features of the convention, and also
thank the Crellin and Oakland bands
for the wonderful music these organi-
cations rendered.
We noted with appreciable pride the
spirit displayed by the citizens of our
sister town of Grantsville; which sent
three organizations to participate in
the parade-the fire company, its aux
iliary and the junior company. This last
named organization, with it's dimuni-
tive engine, its we'll equipped and at
tractive boys was the attraction of the
entire parade and we feel deserves
special mention.
Thanks of the Department are also
due and are extended to the West
Maryland Power Company and its en-
ployes for gratuitous services rem
dered in furnishing current and light
ing; also to the Rotary Club members
for their contributions making it posi-
BILE for the visitors to see some of the
natural beauties of this community.
One of the last acts of the convention
was to give a rising vote of thanks
to the citizens of the community for
the wonderful spirit of hospitality
shown them during their stay among
us.
