In today's hand North properly made a slam try despite the fact that his hand contained only one queen and no higher cards. South promptly bid the slam in no trump, fearing that a diamond slam mght be joepardized by an opening spade
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-02-15

His choice of contract was correct. The slam at no trump was easy, Since the ace of clubs could be knocked out and 12 tricks were then 8 lay-down. Had North played the hand at six diamonds, however, East would have led the jack of spades and the slam would have been de- feated.

OTHERS VIEWS
CRITICIZES COUNCIL.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
AS I write 1 have before me the
Tuesday evening edition OF the Hen
derson. Daily Dispatch on the back
page of which is a notation as to the
meeting of the City Council on Mon
day night.
Sometimes when one reads an &C
count of the action of certain group,
one wonders if those taking, or re-
fusing to take, certain action have
given one iota of consideration before
passing their judgment. | have refer
ence to the action of the City Coun-
Gil concerning the matter of abolish
ing taxi stands on main street.
It seems to me that city council
such as we have here in Henderson
should have better judgment than
that shown in the action toward the
proposal made by the mayor and the
ch'ef of police of Henderson. Pray
tell zpe of what value is city coun-
Gil Il it cannot act for the good OF
the &, liens of the city. There is no
one but who WILL, except in case OF
bribery, fail to acknowledge the facl
that the takes on the main street of
Henderson are a nuisance. Their de-
L .
forcibly, is unsafe for a business dis
trict such as Henderson; and for the
City Council to fail to do something
about it, is to fail in one of the things
for which they have been placed in
office.
Oftimes 7 wonder what people pass
ing through Henderson think of the
CITY Council and other citizens when
main street is almost completely
given over to business and pleasure
on the Sabbath day. Such things as
garages, beer stands, pool rooms; ana
theatres should be compelled to- close
their doors on Sunday My own OPP
inion is that there is a way at which
the City Council can get at this mat
ter.
The crime level of Henderson will
never be lower than it is until the
CITY Council or some officially dele
gated group, takes action to make the
Sabbath day a day of rest and spirit
tual emphasis instead of day of
mental, physical and spiritual de-
bauchery. N
On page three of the Dispatch
read further action by the City Coun-
Gil. observe IndI, tnuS 1dr, we nave
no money. for the nealthful care OF
the privileged boys and girls OF
our city, May we not give these items
more serious consideration because
they are vastly more important than
some of the things which have been
done recently in Henderson.
l close this editorial by taking my
hat off to the council in the refusal
to grant the license for the sale OF
beer at the corner of Montgomery and
Walnut streets.
