WYANDOTTE MAY
FALL DOWN
ON. ITS QUOTA

Heartened by several reports which
have been Larger than expected, Wyan-
dotte and Trenton community fund
workers were making a last concerted
drive early in the week to complete
most of their campaign funds by Wed
nesday. In spite of the encouraging
late reports, 1t was still feared that
the drive will be almost IA per cent
short of its $4,000 goal.
In view Of plans to increase the
health and youth services Of the COM
munity fund agencies during the COM
ing year. citizens Of the two communi-
ties are urged to remember the slogan
of the drive-'.Let your heartstrings
+. your pursestrings.'
'1rhe spirit which may still put the
drive close to its quota has been shown
by several of our business and indus
trial concerns" said George p. Wilbur.
drive chairman. I'VE know of at least
three instances where concerns have
many less employees than last year but
the remaining employees have equalled
or exceeded the total contributed last
year."
With very few dollars to go it was
apparent that the public service
division under the craftsmanship OF
Lawrence j. LaCOurse would exceed
its $40 goal. The following contribu-
lions had been already received from
public emplOye groups: Postoffice, $50 /;
city hall (partiaD. SD; police, $50 /;
municipal service, Sis; Wyandotte
General hospital. $50; firemen, 81,
and welfare, $40.
With $1,000 in sight toward an un-
official goal of $500, Harry w. But
Ter, Trenton chairman, urged his 20
workers on to obtain the remaining
$500.

hearts and was not doubled. He had
two chances to take; one was that
his partner held only one diamond
and the other that he could finesse the
spade. OF the latter he felt reason
ably sure, since if West had the king
of spades guarded he would double
seven hearts. When dummy went
down and showed only one diamond,
he saw his contract made. He won
the first diamond trick in his own
hand and trumped the second diamond
in dummy; then led two rounds Of
hearts. returned to his own hand with
the ace of clubs and exhausted ad-
versary's trumps. took his king of
clubs and returned to dummy with
another club and led the queen of
spades, which East covered with the
king. hoping that West might have
the jack of that suit. That was the
end of the play for grand slam in
hearts and a score of 2,210. Had
West allowed the six-heart bid to
stand, he would have saved 75o points,
the difference between a small slam
and a grand slam, but his attempt
to get the losing contract at seven
diamonds was a commendable one.

out in Importance for that day.
The first one and the nearest Is
