Strange as it seems, in the Older
days of England, a spinster was either
a spider or an unmarried woman
Both derived their names from the
Old English, spinnan. to spin.
Spiders were so called because they
spun webs; unmarried ladies of gen.
tility were "spinsters" because of their
main occupation in the home. making
cloth. Although still legal designa-

Winning Contract
Bx THE FOUR ACES.

| TNNUMERABLE times q player has
approached us seeking solace after
he has lost q hand because Of bad
guess. A typical remark is. Il had to
guess the location of the queen Of
| spades; and while could finesse either
way, 1t was q toss-up which opponent
held it, and so of course I guessed
wrong.
This may be perfectly true, but
usually some clue either from the bid
ding or the play should give declarer
some indication as to which opponent
| holds a vital queen. This hand. played
by Waldemar Won Zedtwitz, famous for
his ability at guessing, is an illustra-
ton.

Here is chance for our readers to
try their hands at guessing. West
opened the ace of hearts. East won
the second trick with the king and
West ruffed the third round to give
the defense their book" When West
removed dummy's ace of clubs, declarer
played the ace of spades. then dummys
other spade, East following small.
Mr.. Won Zedtwitz now attempted to
locate the missing queen Of spades.
He noted that West had held the ace
Of hearts. If West held only two
spades. he would probably have at
least six clubs. If this were the case,
could West have resisted q two-club
overcall? No! Therefore declarer
went up with the king of spades and
caught Vests queen.
The same reasoning, somewhat re-
enforced, applied in locating the queen
OF diamonds. Having decided that
west would have bid If he had held
six clubs, Mr.. Won Zedtwitz was able
to mark each Of his opponents with
five OF that suit. This being the case,
East would hold a singleton diamond.
In addition, East, sound player, had
put IN vulnerable heart overcall on
weak trump suit; thus he would be
likely to hold a club suit in which to
rescue business double. On this rea-
soning Mr.. Won Zedtwitz finessed West
for the queen of diamonds and made
his contract! These were the East
and West hands. How good was your
guess?

24-Hour Storm
Sets Rainfall
Record Here
More Than Quarter Of
Years Normal Amount
Falls In One Day

The largest amount of rainfall
ever recorded in the Priest Rapids
valley in a 24-hour period fell here
last Friday, the unusually heavy fall
causing most roofs to leak, but DO
ing very little damage to cherries
and other crops.
The rain gauge at the Hanford
weather station recorded 1.73
inches of precipitation during the
24-hour period from 8 am Friday
morning to 8 am. Saturday morn
ing. The amount was more than
a quarter of the normal annual
precipitation here.
A slight amount of rain was re-
corded on Thursday, but the down.
pour began about seven o'clock
Friday morning, continuing stead
lily throughout the day. During
the night the fall grew even heav.-
ier, nearly two thirds of the total
precipitation coming at that time.
Cherries were largely harvested,
but the few tons left on the trees
suffered practically no damage. In
other districts, however, where the
rainfall was no more than normal,
considerable damage was done.
After several days of normal,
though sultry, weather, another
rain storm struck the valley Tues.
day evening, reaching cloudburst
proportions from Vernita to Priest
Rapids. The Cold Greek channel,
usually dry, was filled above it's
banks, the water being so high that
it washed over the floor of The
bridge.
A section of the Yakima high.
way was washed out near the HALF
way House, and a number of trans.
formers we're burned out in the
Riverland district by the electrical
storm which preceded the rain.
Only Light rainfall was recorded
in the lower end of the valley.

Travels To Mckee

With three consecutive victories
behind them, White Bluffs Hanford
will attempt to stretch their VIM
ming streak to four game and to
remain in the Tri-County league
leadership Sunday when they ira
vel to Mckee for the second game
of this half.
Although the locals hold one vic
tory over the Yakima valley aggre-

ing a tough battle Sunday as on
the basis of comparative scores
during the second half the Mckee
team is always dangerous They de-
feated Finley Hover by an 8-3 score
after being held to one hit for seven
innings, and last Sunday lost to
the heavy hitting Prosser nine, To-
9, after leading until the last half
of the ninth inning.
AS no Tri-County league games
are scheduled for the week END of
the Fourth, this will be the last
tilt for the locals unil July 10,
when Prosser invades the local
field.

communication from the headquar.,

if our towns, fields, gardens and

This has happened in China. Now
millions of people, peaceful citizens,
in no way responsible for the war,
are starving. This weeks flood has

tricts, private utilities, cooperative
associations, and industrial cllsto
mers.
Four Simple schedules will offer
Bonneville power to small and large
purchasers at equal rates. All min

been eliminated, Ross explains, and
a rural district or town will pay
exactly the same price as. far
flung utility network. Everywhere
on the transmission system the
uniform charge for primary energy
Will be $3.50 a kilowatt- year-ap-
proxinnately two mills a kilowatt

If the power is kept in use IL hours
a day, the cost will e four mills a

year, customers will reduce their
bills still further.
A special inducement will be Of
fered to cooperative associations
and other small users to undertake
at once to distribute Bonneville
power. They will be permitted to
buy wholesale energy at half a
