Mr.. Smith opened the bidding with

had four aces and two kings!"
Mr.. BurnStine continued: Your

tricks plus a possible seventh. Hence.
instead of being within one trick Of
home, the minimum strength neces-
Sary for an opening forcing bid of
two, you were full three tricks away.
Your correct opening bid would have
been two no trump.
However. your bad opening bid was
not the main cause of our disaster
You recall that I raised you to three
spades only, whereupon you jumped to
six notrump. In opening with two
bid you had already overbid your hand
slightly. Therefore, when I responded
with merely three spades, you should
have signed of with three no trump
and let me be the one to bid or invite
the slam. You should bear in mind
that l had heard your opening two
bid and am fully capable of marking

TINE great majority of bridge
players do all their playing
within some small circle.
L There may be q group Of four
or five families that play at each
others homes two or three times a
week. Sometimes the group Is
slightly broader and includes
women's or mems club. But, in gen.
eral, all the players follow approx
mately the same ideas. Regardless of
what system they play, there are GER
tain faults which are likely to be
common to them all.
With this in mind, we present a
hypothetical situation in which John
Smith. an ordinary bridge player, finds
himself playing in a series OF rubber
games with the -Four Aces. Mr.. Smith
is not going to play perfectly. The
mistakes he will make are those that
we have found to be inherent in many
bridge players. We trust that our
readers will study what he does wrong
with a view to finding out if they are
doing likewise.
AS a starter, Mr.. Smith has cut
David Burnstine as his partner against
Michael T. Gottlieb and Howard
Schenken, and the following hand is
the first one dealt:

"Well. couldn't bid four diamonds.
could II" asked Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Burnstine replied, mo, but. why
didn't you bid three no trump"
How could ~" Mr.. Smith ex-
claimed. st had nothing in clubs or
hearts"
Mr.. Burnstine's answer was: What
difference did that make? 1 had
forced you to bid and then bid two no.
trump myself. Unless I was misbid-
ding my hand considerably (as mat
ter of fact I was overbidding 1t a
trife), would have shoppers In all
suits and undoubtedly some card or
cards to fill in your diamond suit.
You should have been able to count
your five diamonds as sure tricks at
notrump. All you had to do was to
bid three notrump and the game
would have been an absolute laydown,
and on a spade opening I would nave
made four odd"
The first hand, of course, Illus
trated one of the weaknesses OF Mr..
Smiths game. He was always afraid
of his partner, and no matter how
strongly his partner bid, Mr.. Smith
would be unable to visualize what he
held.
The game proceeded. A few more
hands were played, both sides were
vulnerable and Mr.. Smith got a very
good hand.

move to make Miss Lafferty presi-

is expected, however, that the odd

have been running the education as

selection of a campaign manager by
Mcdonald is expected in the very near
future, however.
Whether John A. McRae, of Char
lotte, the fourth candidate for the
nomination for governor. wilk open
headquarters here has not been learn
ed, but so far there is nothing to in
dlcate he contemplates such action.
Straw Votes Not Alarming.
In spite of the reports from certain
street-corner STRAW" polls which have
been made in some sections of the
State and broadcast over the radio to
the effect that Hoey and Mcdonald
are running almost neck and neck in
many sections, the Graham headquar-
tiers here is not the least alarmed. It
is being pointed out that virtually the
only ones being contacted in these
polls are either the voluntary or in
voluntary unemployed, to whom Nc
Donald's program of more govern
ment and less taxes naturally appeals.
It is also maintained that a good
many of those voting for Mcdonald
in these street-corner polls are Re
publicans. One Republican here in
Raleigh is reported to have admitted
that he voted for Mcdonald three
times in one of these polls here, and
that others are doing the same thing
elsewhere.
''Those who are supporting Graham
are busy at work and not loafing a.
round the Streets" Lon Folger, man.
ager for Graham, said today. eff those
conducting these so-called straw polls
would go to the trouble to go among
the business people and those who are
at work, instead of those standing a
round on street corners, they would
find that Graham had the most
strength
It is also contended by the Ora
ham managers that in several coun-
ties where Mcdonald has been report
ed as being unusually strong, he is
beginning to lose a great many fol-
lowers, also that a majority of those
who are deserving Mcdonald are go
ing over to Graham rather than to
Hoey. There is a definite and notice
able detection from the Mcdonald
ranks under way both in Wake and
Wilson counties, it is contended, with
indications of other OBJECTIONS in 9TH
err counties.
Hoey Crowd Confident.
The Hoey managers are just as con-
fident as ever, however, that their
candidate is in the lead and going to
stay there. Campaign Manager Olive
is not yet ready to make any direct
statement concerning the progress of
the campaign, but intimated that it
was the consensus Of those in the
Hoey headquarters that the Shelby
orator had been in first place from
the outset and that he was going to
stay there. It was also intimated that
they believed Mcdonald was much
more of a threat to Hoey than Ora
ham, though privately the F1oey
forces are beginning to admit that
Graham is becoming a more and more
serious threat and that eventually he
may prove more dangerous than Nc
Donald.

ISOLATION, or rather of the clique in
control of it, to elect a classroom
teacher president every other year, in
order to keep the classroom teachers
satisfied, or at least Modified. But
this clique has never permitted a
classroom teacher to be elected pres
ident for the year. in which a session
of the General Assembly meets. It
almost invariably has elected a city
or a county superintendent as presi-
dent in legislative years. At the pre-
sent time Mrs. T. w. Guthrie, of Kin
ston, a classroom teacher, is presi-
dent, having been elected to this Of
flee last Spring, as this was non
legislative year. It is also customary
for the first vice president to be
elected president, with the result that
County Superintendent Ray Funder-
burl1, of New Hanover county, is slat-
ed to become president of the educa-
ton association.
But the classroom teachers, dissat-
isfied at the system that has been fol-
lowed in the past, and especially at
the employment !, of a professional
lobbyist during the last session of
the General Assembly, who is con-
coded to have worked more for the
interests Of a group of superintendent
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-03-17

than for the teachers, are determined
to elect a classroom teacher presi-
dent this time, to hold office through
the 1887 General Assembly. So they
are expected to present Miss Oma
Clair Lafferty, of Charlotte, president
of their classroom teachers group, for
president of the State Education AS
ISOLATION, instead of Funderburk It
is regarded as doubtful if Funderburk
will be a candidate for president of
the association anyway, since he has
been quite ill for several months, with
indications that his health will not
permit him to undertake the strenu-
Gus work as president.
Miss Lafferty has become known
in all sections of the State as q feac-
less and militant champion of the
classroom teachers. She made the
especially the superintendent and the
politicians, when she led the fight
for the full 20 per cent increase in
salaries for all teachers last summer,
and won out, even though the legisla-
ture intended otherwise. For it is the
classroom teachers, with their $500
votes, which have the real political
power, rather than the 100 or so sup
erintendents. And under the leader
ship of Miss Lafferty, the classroom
teachers have at last walked up to
this fact.

ton association decides to fight the

Raleigh. March II The belief is
CROWNS in political circles here that
Ihillip Whitley, of Raleigh and Wen
doJ Wake county, will eventually be
canned as campaign manager for DR.
pqlph W. Mcdonald, of Winston
colen. in spite of earlier rumors that
Mcdonald would attempt to run his
campaign with an advisory committee
instead of with campaign manager.
Int the fact that Whitley has Just re-
siqned as WPA administrator for this
district and has been very non-com-
initial as to what he intends to do. has
caused most of the political observ
PRS here to conclude he will eventu-
allv become chief helmsman for the
Mcdonald campaign ship.
Active In Wake
Whitley has been active in Wake
county politics for several years. was
AZ one time president of the Youn:r
Democratic Club in Wake county, ran
for the job as House reading. clerk in
1881 but was defeated. He first be-
came factor in Wake County Demo
cratic affairs in 1884 when he and
Tommy Banks, another young Re-
IelSN IdWycl, successfully managed
the campaign of Harold D. Cooley for
Congress against George Ross Pou.
Whitley then went to Washington as
private secretary to Congressman
Cooley until he resigned last sum-
mer to return here and accept the
post as WPA director for this district,
which Job he held until last week.
Would Hurt Mcdonald
Both the Hoey and Graham forces
are hoping, however, that Whitley is
appointed campaign manager FOR Nc
Donald due to the fact that IN his
rather meteoric rise to political prom
inence in Wake, Franklin, Johnston
and other neighboring counties, Whit
ley has made good many political
enemies as we'll as friends. It is also
agreed that in his speech at the
Jackson Day Dinner here some
months ago, he made several remarks
that definitely rubbed a lot of people
the wrong way. Nor has his path as
District WPA director been strewn
with roses.
So while Whitley would undoubted-
" be helpful to Mcdonald with GER
tain groups, both the Hoey and Ora
ham forces believe that his selection
as manager will irritate good many
who otherwise might have supported
Mcdonald and cause them to go into
either the Hoey or Graham camps.

MORE 1885 FARMS
THAN DURING 1880
300, 967 Farms Last Year,
Compared to 279,7O8
Five Years Before

College Station, Raleigh, March II
Last year North Carolina had more
farms with larger acreage per farm
than in 1880.
Statistics supplied Dean I. O.
Schaub, of State College, by the Fed
eral bureau of the census show that:
In 1885 there were 3OO,967 farms in
the State with an average size of 662
acres. In 1880 there were 279,7O8
farms averaging 64.5 acres each.
The total area of farm land last
year was 1895, 307 acres, as compar-
ed with 18,055,1O3 in 1880.
Crops were harvested from $685.
SAT acres in 1884, while 5,8O9741 acres
were harvested in 1929.
During the five year period, 1880
1885, the number of white farmers in
creased from O2,835 to 231 ,594 but the
number of Negro farmers decreased
from 1858, to 69,373
The increase IN the number of
farmers applied to all classes, the
dean said: owners, part owners. man
ayers, and tenants.
Last year there were 10000, 999 full
owners 20S3718 part owners, 1882
managers, and 7,542,918 tenants. The
number of full owners in 1880 was o.
4O8,707, part owners 1,663.573 manag-
ers 255,246 and tenants 6,727,577.
The 19,9S6,307 acres in farm land
last year comprised $50 per cent of
the 81 1880 acres in the State.
The value of farm land and build
lngs in North Carolina dropped from
$844,121 ,8O9 in 1880 to 1922, 1850 last
year.
The average value per farm drop
ped from $3,O18 to $1,000, and the aver
