Abstention Of the Radical So

After an additional 1,70O metal

Sit-down strikers throughout
France were estimated at $4,000.

now certain to get two heart tricks
at least, plus two in spades and one
in clubs. South let East win that
trick. A spade came back to the A,
another heart to the A, a spade to
the K, then the club X, to the A.
South could run only eight tricks,
then had to lose one at the end, to
either the spade 10 or the club Q.
Had South reckoned that the
heart 8 was probably the top of a

have made two tricks in the suit
under any circumstances. Limiting
him to one trick here would have
given South his contract, with five
tricks in diamonds, two in clubs and
one each in the majors.

u These tests were conducted on a

ceived instruction from a tech
nician sent to the valley by the
state committee. Results of the
tests revealed that 25 per cent of
those examined were suffering from
slight impairments of hearing
which might become more severe if
left untreated. An additional nine
per cent of those tested were in
need Of immediate care and 2.6 per
cent were extremely hard of hear
