With an H. c. v. Of IL and honors,
South made the proper opening bid
of one no trump. North responded
with three spades, South merely bid
three no trump and now North went
to five spades.
Souths opening no trump bid was
based on slightly more than the mini
mum; furthermore, he was we'll pre-
pared for the lead of any suit and
hence decided to accept his partrers S
slam invitation by a bid of five no
trump, whereupon North went to six
no trump His choice of this bid in
preference to six spades was out of
difference to his partners judgment.
South had indicated that he wanted
the opening lead up to his hand
not through it.
Mr.. Hutzler made what he con-
sidered his wisest opening, the four
spot of spades.
Declarer studied the significance of
this lead for a while and came to
the conclusion it indicated that Mr..
Hutzler held defense, namely, the ace
of clubs and king of hearts. At the
same time Mr.. Hutzler realized that
the declarer would draw that in
ference, and decided to discard the
hand on the assumption that declarer
would play him for both those cards.
Sure enough, South started right
after the spades and Mr.. Kutzler had
to make five discards. These were, in
order: I'd The four of hearts, 90 the

Being Lazy
BY JOHN BLAKE.

How much laziness can you afford9
Be careful before you answer the
question. You may have plenty Of
money. but you need a great many
more things besides money. Whether
you succeed or fail is your own affair.
If you are really In earnest about your
job and prefer 1t to any other oc-
cupation, you have q good chance Of
getting through the world happily.
II you are always fretting and FUN
ing. criticizing other people instead
Of hunting for inspirations. you are
going to have a pretty hard time.
Let us say you have certain degree
Of ability. 1t Is less than that of
some other people. greater than that of
others. Your task is to use it for all
that it is worth. When you get one
job done satisfactorily to you and the
people you work for, start something
else. Keep starting things.
If you are a little shy In some
branch Of equipment, better your
knowledge. Your brain may be large
or small, but 1t will have enough gray
matter in it to carry you along with
your work.
Don't think that your friends are
lucky. Maybe they are, to some ex-
tent, but what counts Is the use OF
their luck. Above all, don't blame
people for your mistakes. If you have
made one, admit 1t and try not to
make another Of that kind.
One mistake may be an accident.
If that mistake is made again, it
shows that there is something the
matter with you, something that you
must eradicate
II you work hard and continuously,
you will get something accomplished.
II you say that your friends get to
important places because some rela-
tives gave them a boost. you are
merely talking to hear yourself talk.
You will soon be disillusioned.

conditions among negroes.
"In lexington he said, 1--WE have
no facilities for caring for advanced

handle 16 patients in the earlier

Due to a lack of health education
among the negroes, and to economic
conditions, 85 per cent of the cases
