The real fun of bridge is in try ing to picture the exact holding of one of the closed hands. In doing this, you would be surprised to find how easily some contracts can be defeated.
 1. Against the four heart con- tract West should open the queen of clubs. He cannot lose a trick by this lead, as he has a solid sequence. After he sees the dummy, he can decide upon his further line of play.
 3. After winning the opening lead, the declarer cannot pick up the trumps, or he will lose three diamonds and the ace of spades. Nor can he try to establish the spade suit before getting out the trumps. His only chance is to try to ruff a diamond.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-12-07

3. When West gains the ead with a diamond, he must immed- itely shift to spade. Here is where you can get complete picture of the declarer's hand. He did not have enough to open the bidding, and yet his bid and jump rebid of hearts shows solid heart suit. The declarer cannot hold the ace of spades, or he would have had an original bid. Therefore, West should shift to a spade.
 4. East must not win the first spade trick. When the second diamond is led, West will win and return another spade. Now East wins and gives his partner a ruff, defeating the contract. Ex- pert credits" are given for refus- ing to win the first spade trick with the ace, and for shifting to a spade after winning the dia- mOnd.

Publicity Conscious Civic Betterment Programs Indicate Connecticut Yankees on Alert for Favorable Public Reaction
 to Local Assets.

ing in Hartford, explained this week there is a varied assatrment of pamphlets and literature per? taining to Connecticut life which will be hailed out to towns re- questing information.
 While in most cases individual towns must build up the program to suit their particular local needs, this material at the commission office contains a wealth of little known facts and figures which might be well considered by any municipality launching out pulp licity- wise" he said.
 In considering communities which have official notice of pulp licity as an aid toward better living Hartford is perhaps the outstanding example.
 Funds Sought
 There the movements has gain- ed momentum by leaps and bounds, backed by Chamber of Commerce, mercantile and indus trial influences. In special cam- paign funds were sought and raised to finance the task of ex- tending endeavors along these lines.
 But the Connecticut commission, in it's survey this week, found that the enthusiasm hasn't been concentrated wholly in tn charger cities.
 Publicity has extended into the far corners of the state.
 Milford is off to a start in put ting that town on the map.
 At the opposite end of the state. Putnam is beginning to be heard from along these lines.
 And between these two of the smaller towns is another East Hartford, which has Incorporated Chamber of Commerce and social agencies support to bring the towns best to the forefront for the whole world to see.
 Gala Celebration
 The publicity parade goes on with Caanan preparing to get away August IS with a gala cele- bration of its tercentenary. New Caanan also has been bitten and there the town fathers are pub- fishing a booklet.
 Guilford is another of the towns falling into step with the publicity movement. Already that shoreline community is making plans for a tercentenary occasion next year.

Pere Dutilly Sails
 On Double Mission
Plans to Conduct Scientific Search While Carrying on
 Missionary Labors in Far North-Radio Equipped

ceed to Fort Churchill by Canada's far northern railway.
 Remote Lands
 From Fort Churchill the two scientists will proceed northward and westward into lands even more re- mote, and while carrying out their missionary labors among the Eski- mos will collect samples of plants, soils, weapons and tools of earlier civilizations for the Lateran Mu- scum at Vatican City. At His Holi- ness Pope Plus XI's encouragement, Bishops Turquetil and Breynat, Father Dutilly's ecclesiastical su- perior, undertook to send to the Lateran Museum complete collec- tion Illustrating the natural history of the Canadian Arctic. By them, Pere Dutilly was commissioned to collect and prepare the specimens. The results of this summers collec- tion will be sorted, studied and classified by Father Dutilly during the winter months in the labora- tories of the Catholic University.
 In the meantime, third colleague, Dr. Ivar Tidesstrom of the Catholic University botanical faculty, has gon to Europe to make a special study of Arctic plants, to facilitate the more accurate Identification and description of Pere Dutilly's collec- tions.
 Radio Contacts
 During the voyage, Pere Dutilly will maintain constant radio com munication, both in French and English, with trading posts, other vessels, and civilization. from the small motor ship, the I'M. F. Therese," used each summer by Father Dutilly in making voyage from Montreal to the lonely Arctic missionary outposts.
 On his return from the Arctic last year. Pere Dutilly brought 1,200 sheets of pressed plants, 1000 in- sects, several scores of soil and mineral samples, and large number of old-time weapons and tools of the Eskimos. The farthest point north reached last year was about 70 degrees north latitude, at small island just off the coast of Baffln Land, called Iglulik.

Open landscape, 1/25, f.8.
 Water or beach scenes, 1/25, f.S.
 When you must use a high shutter speed, use a larger lens opening. Re- member that 1/25 second at i'll is the same as 1/50 at f.8, and about the same as 1/100 at f.6.3 or 1/200 at f.4.5.
 Follow these exposures this spring and summer, and you won't go wrong. If you use a box camera, take snapshots on bright days only. On a dull day, place the box camera on firm support and give very short time exposure (one-half to one sec. ond, or about as fast as you can work the shutter when on "Time") using the small lens opening.
 With any camera, when you are taking pictures shortly after sunrise or before sunset, you must use a larger lens opening, or . slower shutter speed. At such times, light tends to be yellow and the "pan" type film will Ne best as 1t is defi. nitely faster in such light. John van Guilder

CHESHIRE NEWS
Hubert Rigney Cheshire Phone 5sl

Cheshire, July 20.-Discussion re- garding the establishment of high school here has raised much inter- est at present. Consideration of the regional plan as advocated by the school board of education has un- covered the fact that Cheshire is geographically situated against this plan.
 Cheshire is bounded by Bethany, Hamden, Meriden, Prospect, South ington, Waterbury and Wolcott. Since Prospect, Wolcott and Bethany are the only towns which do not contain a high school, a high school for these towns, with Cheshire, would not be centrally located in Cheshire, but in Prospect. It is therefore believed that Cheshire would not be conveniently served by such school. At present Cheshire students are attending high schools in Hamden, New Haven, Meriden, Southington, Wallingford and Wa terbury.

In one way or another the Con- necticut Yankee is becoming pulp licity conscious.
 Dotting the state from the New York border to the Massachusetts, line are towns and cities which have incorporated publicity of some sort as part of the general scheme of civic betterment and progress.
 Application of publicity to stim- ulate local pride and attract new interests to these Connecticut municipalities has engaged in- creasingly the attention of the Connecticut publicity commission.
