State officers attending an initi- ation ceremony at Middletown said they favor passage of reso- lutions calling for changes in the present assistance set-up. The reso- lutions favored will call for increases in the smaller payments being given to older needy people, end raising the weekly maximum from $7 to $10 in cases where medical attention is needed.
 The officers stated that they be- lieved a reduction in the present 8 tax can be effected. They pointed out that several towns in the state had collected more money in taxes than the amounts called for by the state. Any reduction in the tax, 1t was said, would not interfere with the giving of state assistance.
 The initiation ceremony yesterday was in honor of Congressman Will liam Citron, an advocate of an old- age pension plan for many years. Cit- ron praised Senator Julius Strem- lau of Meriden, an Eagle, for his devotion to the cause of old age as- sistance for Connecticut. State Dep- uty William Kelly of Naugatuck was among the state leaders present. He also addressed the gathering.

all would be we'll. Put that high
honor in the North hand and the
contract must go down.
First declarer went for the drop,
by taking two rounds of winning
trumps. He was lucky enough to
find spades evenly divided between
defenders. Next declarer took two
rounds of winning diamonds. Dunn
my then ruffed the lead of a third
diamond. He regained his hand by
leading the Q of hearts and WIN
ming with his K. That was the
seventh trick. Declarer had ore
more low diamond to ruff with
Idun1my's last trump. Of course he
dared not make that play at once,
as that would leave him stranded
in dummy, and absolutely obliged
to give up two defensive tricks, no
matter which adversary held the
Ace of clubs. The trial Of clubs
had. to be made at once. That
lead and that alone would settle
the fate of the small slam con-
tract.
1t could do no good to lead the
J Of clubs. The 9 was led. Miss
ing both Ace and 10, South played
low. Dummy's K was played, and
lost to the Ace. North's return
lead was the 10 of clubs. De-

Some Painless Exercises
For Reducing WaistIines

out the laboriotis necessity OF lying
down on your back on the bedroom
floor and raising your feet 20
times, etc. q s
I go all the way with Mr.. Devan
in advocating these casual exer-
cises, for the principal reason that
the daily dozens are not carried
out, no matter how enthusiastical-
ly begun.
There are some other exercises
that my colleague, DR.. William
Brady, advocates, and these are
exercises in the morning in bed.
Just before getting up, stretch the
spine, straighten out the Shout
ders, kick the covers off, and rise
on your heels and the back Of your
head. Raise your legs straight up,
then bend your knees until they
touch the chest wall. Lying fiat
on your back, do the bicycle exer-
else.
I do not believe that these viii
do all that DR.. Brady claims for
them, but they have several aq-
vantages. One is that they take
almost no time out of the day. The
second is that they are real exer-
cises, and the third is that being
in bed you can lie back and rest
after you get through with them
without any extra effort.
